Japan braced for divorce epidemic

[SIAM]

Here might be a sign that Japanese guys are finding new lives away from this hell (though only anecdotal)

Davao City - S.E. Phils - now has road signs in Japanese.

LOL

Here's an article on the phenomena of Japanese guys going to the Philippines:-

For a woman to say her husband has minimal life skills and then ditch him so she can do what she wants with his money is pot calling the kettle black.

This is one of the most callous articles I've ever read on divorce.

I'd like to see statistics on male suicide in Japan now and then again in five years. I'm going to guess that the suicide rate for men over 60 will rise dramatically.

Not that anyone will care.

I wish I could remember who wrote this little nugget I read years ago:

"You just can't insult American men enough!"  ... about how much abuse NorthAm men seem willing to take from women.

Add the Japanese to this equation.

Sick Sick Sick

... about how much abuse NorthAm men seem willing to take from women.

Something that I have seen is the fact that some ... more than some ... a lot ... who knows ... men are miserable in marriage.

I know the feminist counter-position will arise: A lot of women are miserable in marriage.

But here's the fundamental difference: Men worry about getting out of a marriage, because they are going to still have the marriage - they are still going to have to pay the woman.  Women, for the most part, worry about getting out of a marriage, because they worry if the man will pay enough.  Especially if they are pure housewives, they are not capable of doing jack-shit in the real world.  The issue is whether the husband (ex-husband) will pay ENOUGH for them.  For that, the man has to REALLY succeed, like Kravis, Broad or the like.  And women use these men accordingly, with their full actress skills, until they have a solid claim on his money.

That's all obvious, but it's a bit odd to me that men don't get divorced because they are worried about PAYING too much to the woman, and women don't get divorced because they are worried about not getting ENOUGH from the man.  Thank God I'm not married.

<<Especially if they are pure housewives, they are not capable of doing jack-shit in the real world. The issue is whether the husband (ex-husband) will pay ENOUGH for them.>>

Oh ... and by the way ... I ask that the chivalrous men here explain exactly why I should have any respect for a woman who uses a man for money - and who basically does jack-shit for society or for anyone else.  In other words, for a lot of typical housewives.

PLEASE - explain away as to how their petty, snotty assertions about their refrigerators with ice-making machines, and the celebrities who live in the neighborhood, or kind of in the neighborhood, or further away, and the SUV that the husband bought them and their vacation to somewhere that you have never been ... entitles them to any respect.

I respect the inventor of the Polio vaccine, I don't respect Paris Hilton.  I respect Thomas Edison, I don't respect Anna Nicole Smith.  I respect Albert Einstein, I don't respect Mary Walton.

And you know what?  All of the people I don't respect are far, far richer (because of a man or men) than the people I respect.

How did society get to be that way?  Really fucked up.

Why no respect for Mary Walton?

[johnnyp]

Why no respect for Mary Walton?

Mary Walton, the inventor, was pretty cool - is that the Mary your were talking about?

[Galt]

Maybe I meant Alice Walton or Christy Walton.  They both have almost 16 billion dollars (each ...) though, so that's kind of cool.

[johnnyp]

Understatement:

I don't respect Paris Hilton.

I don't respect Anna Nicole Smith

[Galt]

Understatement:

I don't respect Paris Hilton.

I don't respect Anna Nicole Smith

What's odd, though, is: A lot of people almost worship people like that.  Paris Hilton is really big among the young-woman crowd.

Heirs and heiresses do not impress me either

I see this as a positive development.
For to long our voices have been unheard by people who have been unconcerned about the plight of their brothers.
This will show millions of powerful men, an example of unfairness we could never explain.
Finally the 'Penny will drop' lets hope it happens all over the world.
This kind of Misandry will swell our ranks. We can look forward to something being done when the antics of our fem adversary's hit those at the top, as well as those of us at the bottom of the pile.

[Kyo]

I don't think anything positive will come out of this.

The older men who are being dumped and robbed after working their entire lives are too tired to protest, the younger men don't think it will happen to them, and the not-yet-employed, well, the entire pension system will come crashing down before either they or their wives can claim anything from either their companies or their government!

Something positive HAS come out of this.

That is the men like myself, and the good men on this board, have been freed from the feMinATRIX.  We will be very careful in dealing with women, with marriage.  We may never marry.  I see little value in parties and paperwork.

Plenty of men have bee helped by this movement exposing feminist society for what it is.  Many men will be saved from the marriage trap, from just marrying because "you're supposed to", from giving up all your rights and property to some woman for no good reason.

I know I have been helped.

We must be careful to not fall into the complete misogyny bit.  There are good women out there...we would be fools to think other wise.  But there are LOTS of women that suck out there, especially in Western society.  Combine that with an unjust legal system stacked against men...turns government marriage into a bad deal, a bad idea.

Sorry no, not for me.

If a woman really loves me, she will be with me, regardless of the parties and the paperwork.  But if she won't be with me without getting a government marriage...well...that means she cares more for parties and papwerwork that she cares about me.  And in that case, we shouldn't be getting married anyways.
