[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, after a divorce, the woman's standard of living declines, and the man's increases. That tells you that it is [i]women[/i] who are the disproportionately expensive partner in the marriage, not men, generally speaking.

I'm already paying the mortgage and paying for day care and extracurriculars. If I got divorced, she'd have to pay her own mortgage, and she'd have to contribute to child care and extracurriculars as she does not currently do. As a result, I'd be better off and she'd be worse off. (This assumes 50/50 custody, of course.)[/quote]

This just shows you that women earn less money than men.  Usually because they are doing a disproportionate amount of unpaid domestic work.  [/quote]
That makes no sense. After the divorce, living in 2 different residences, unpaid domestic work is whatever he and she each decide it should be. Are you saying women choose to do lots of unnecessary domestic work? Because if it were necessary, he'd be doing same amount at his place.[/quote]

No.  I am saying that she will likely have a lower income because when children were born, she took on more of the child raising work and stepped back in the workforce.  
The implication that women have a lower standard of living post divorce is because, despite earning the same income, they spend more on themselves is incorrect.  [/quote]

Women [b]have [/b]to spend more on themselves after divorce because they no longer have a husband subsidizing them.[/quote]
