Hereorthere, I believe you are twisting my words and relying rather heavily on a personal anecdote. Firstly, I never said anything about the corruption that may lie behind some people, both men and women, when they involve the courts in their private relationships. I will agree that what you describe can and sometimes does happen. I think, though, that it is a far stretch to even say that this is the case most of the time. Do you honestly believe that so many people are so malicious in their pursuits for wealth and control? I think that perhaps many more of the people that you assume to be seeking out divorce deserve the benefit of the doubt that there are indeed serious problems involved. But if you look back to my original post, I never claimed that people never lie to get their way in court. A statement like that would be just as crazy as claiming that abuse never happens in a given community.
Secondly, I think that your definition of feminism is a little off. I know that this is not the place for such a discussion, but I will just say that siding with a woman does not automatically equal a feminist agenda (although depending on the motivation it can be, but may very well have nothing to do with what feminism actually is).
