Search Results: arguing with mother

Because they're not the ones who directly worked for it.

I did a poll: https://www.girlsaskguys.com/other/q2438381-do-you-agree-that-the-division-of-salary-in-the-average-divorce-of (Some people made some good points that the maternal earnings was inflated due to the fact that some of those jobs aren't equivalent because the actual jobs require education. So I'll accept 50/50 then.)

most men said that women's unpaid household labor should be discounted when it comes to divorce, and that each person should only keep what they directly earned.

which i think is currently the case. studies show that women get poorer after divorce and men get richer. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2009/jan/25/divorce-women-research

the thing is, the woman's unpaid labor is what made it so that the husband didn't have to spend time doing housework & childcare, & thus gave him time and energy to do more of the paid labor (fathers make twice as much as childless men).

and don't say that the paid labor is way harder than the unpaid labor; studies show that stay-at-home mothers are more stressed than working parents. https://www.todaysparent.com/family/stay-at-home-parents-stressed-out/

when i was watching The Red Pill the other day, a feminist male professor said that when it comes to custody cases, "the man usually wasn't doing half the childcare anyway... so it wasn't equal to begin with, but after divorce, he wants equal rights?"

Cassie Jaye argued that the man did contribute to the childcare by being the one providing the house.

And that's a valid point, but if it's to be accepted, then so should be the woman's contribution to the material earnings during the marriage, and thus women should get half the assets/salary earned during the marriage.

yet most men seem to disagree with that, yet believe in equal custody after marriage, which is hypocritical.
