  1. Lots of birds are monogamous, there are mammals, reptiles, and even insects which are all monogamous. It's not the majority of animal species, but they're not rare. But I agree, marriage is a part of corporate church culture&intimately tied to the enslavement of women.

  2. At what point did I call women evil? I simply said that they get the are paid to get divorces&that as a result men commit suicide, which it would appear has a stronger correlation than any other hypothesis you proposed. This is how science works, my friend. You find the strongest correlation between question and hypothesis, and that is your theory. I have done this, now if you don't agree with my theory find some sources to disprove my correlations.

  3. There is such a thing as a long-term, monogamous relationship. And they do exist outside of marriage.

  5. SilortheBlade You want fact? the suicide rte for men during a divorce is 12 times higher than that of women during divorce. That should speak volumes.

  6. Ashley ASHLEYM It's true, not all women are like that. But women say "we know all men aren't rapists, but we still treat them all like they are, cause you never know". The same analogy follows, if you have a bowl of skittles, and tell someone that 20% are poisoned, and the longer you wait, the more are poison. Would you eat a skittle? I sure as hell won't.

  7. SilortheBlade Correlation doesn't mean causation? The suicide rate before that is just 2x womens, that means a 6 fold increase (at the minimum). I would assume it's because men lose their custody rights, and have to pay their ex wife to keep the kid away from him, and probably initiated the divorce. Of course men are more successful, but at 12 fold, it's not method used. It's the divorce itself.  Rape victims have a 3 fold increase for depression, so we assume that it's due to being raped. It's taken as a fact in most cases. But would you suggest that depression and rape are entirely unrelated? Of course not. This increase is 2x that, we can safely assume that it's causation. Unless you want to pick apart reality, but where would we be? Nowhere, literally no where and everywhere. Quit being stupid.

  8. We have no true cause for most things we take as fact. There is no objective PROOF  of anything, simply coincidences&interpretations, nothing is 100% true for any series of events. We have theories, not facts, nothing is guaranteed in science (as you should know). We have correlations, which equates to causation. The only true fact is "I think therefore I am", but let's not go there. Let's simply accept correlations as fact, because that's all we have in this world. You think that a 6 fold increase DURING divorce is simply a coincidence? That's an awfully strong correlation to be dismissed. Women can get mental illnesses as well. No data suggests that mentally ill males are 6 times more likely to get married than mentally ill females nor that men are 6 times more likely to become mentally ill during a marriage; your claim is baseless. In fact, women are more likely to have mental illnesses than men. We do have data that says men lose custody 90% of the time, and pay alimony 97%of the times alimony is awarded. Those are statistics, not conjecture. That would lead me to believe that the aforementioned is more the cause than your baseless conjecture of mental illnesses being the cause of suicide. So, let's review: Men commit suicide 6x more often while in a divorce, men are the overwhelming majority of those who pay alimony&lose custody, and women face mental illnesses more often than men, from this we can surmise that it is unfair divorce courts which lead to the uptick in male suicide rates during divorce. Do you follow? Now, I ask you to reply with FACTS instead of conjecture, if you'd like to disprove my claims.

  10. Where is your proof which states that men are more likely to develop a mental illness? You have provided none. Find something to support your point, and I won't act as cocky. Your conjecture does nothing to phase me. FIND PROOF. I have given proof, now you find your proof, and come back with something that holds more validity than conjecture.

  11. SilortheBlade You implied that men commit suicide due to mental illness during divorce instead of the unfair rulings of divorce courts, meaning that men must contract mental illnesses at much higher rates than females, to make up the 6X fold increase in suicide rates. If mental illness were to affect men and women equally, or even be bias towards females, would the suicide rate not reflect this (and mean that you're contradicting your own conjecture)? Or are mental illnesses contracted at the same rate, while they affect men significantly more severely? I would like to see proof of either. You're good with words, but please try to rely on evidence instead of your linguistic skills. Fine, I didn't use the scientific method. You still have yet to provide evidence for any of your claim that mental illness is the cause for the increase in suicide rates.

  12. ***** What can a woman do beyond give birth, win alimony&custody, and menstruate which a man can't?

  13. Many are afraid of divorce, which is all to common.
