For all you men who don't get that we live in the American Gynocracy, I offer the following letter from one of my readers. It is beyond shocking. -- MHR Dear Marc, This is a true story. A friend sells his home because he's moving in with his fiancee. He buys her a ring and puts down payments on the wedding arrangements. Soon before the wedding, he finds out she's cheating on him and breaks off the engagement. Because they cohabited for more than a year, she is considered his common-law wife in Colorado. She sues him for 50% of "joint" assets and of course wins. He's out:
She was also the real-estate agent who brokered the sale of his house. Another $8K. This was the "insult to injury" part. Note: Before he moved out and sold his house, they got into an argument and broke up. She covered his Toyota SUV in eggs and various condiments one night, using it as stickem to attach all the photos she had of them together with bizzare messages she wrote on each one. So, when he said he was moving in with her a few months later -- after they had made up -- I asked, "Are you sure you want to do this after how she handled the break-up? It was pretty psycho." "Oh, yeah, it was kinda my fault anyway, and she's really a sweet girl, she's the one." All the warning signs were there, and he chose to ignore them because he was blinded by love and wanted to be married. As they say, "the fucking you get, for the fucking you got." I know you get a lot of horror stories, but I never see mention of the "common-law wife" angle that men don't consider but all women seem to know about. Of course, this varies by state. I learned about it from a woman AFTER we had lived together for a year and luckily managed to escape unharmed. Yes, it was used as a threat. YIKES! When I speak with women about your theories, I rarely have an argument and, if so, it's short-lived. Men are another matter. They seem so brain-washed (pussy-washed?). I can't even have a discussion about this topic with men, lest their women find out their thinking has changed. Men freely admit that "she's the boss" and that's the way it is. Amazing! Women understand these issues, while men are afraid to even acknowledge them -- for fear they'll be cut off from sex or, worst case, divorced and fleeced. Informed and thoughtful women usually agree and understand. Men think I'm insane and embittered. Keep up the good work, and you'll always have my vote. Ken K. |
