Example please? And also how do you define transphobic?

At this point it should be required for all the staff. I work in a university & the training & guidance aimed at us is INSANE

Human life is complex. We need to be able to go so far & know when to stop. It can't be as simple as we may like. Ideally couples would stay together but in many cases its better if they don't. I had dinner with some friends this week & one is getting a divorce after 20+ years of marriage- her husband has consistently prioritised his social life & getting high, he has been consistently aggressive & insulting. The house is stressful & conflicted because of his behaviour. The kids are stressed & want the parents to live separately. They have had couples counselling & nothing had changed. And this is something many of us had lived through. Divorce is necessary. Why should people live unhappy lives unnecessarily. I understand the issues around single parent families and lots of that is because single parent families are poor, it brings unrelated men into children's lives which brings risks to them. But lots of these impacts would be reduced if divorced/separated men behaved better, as in stayed near to the kids, parented as a team, supported financially (to a fair extent). Yes some ex-wives can be unfair, divisive etc but in my experience most marriages end because of the man's behaviour & most single mothers live harder lives than necessary because their ex is incapable of acting honorably

@BKNeifert I don't know why you think the kids would be happier if they stay together when both of them are saying they are happy the parents are separating & are looking forward to the dad moving out & thinking it will be better to see their parents separately. And what is your evidence for saying divorces happen because of women being selfish? If you mean women deciding that enough is enough after years of being taken advantage of, disrespected, cheated on, abused is selfish then I guess you're right, but that's not my definition of selfish & those are the reasons behind most of the divorces I've seen.

@BKNeifert I'm your evidence? 🤣 well how scientific. Clearly you must really be expert & worth listening to

@BKNeifert you make a lot of assumptions about someone you know nothing about. Maybe you would do better by having an open mind to other people's experiences

@BKNeifert those are also all assumptions. If separation is handled well then there is no reason for schism with anyone else. I think you should direct your criticism to those who make marriages unbearable which push people to separation (in my experience, it is generally men who behave badly towards their wives but I have occasionally seen it the other way around) and those who abandon their children or purposefully make their co-parent's lives harder than necessary after separation (same bracket). It also sounds a lot like you listen more to men than women. My friendships are about 50/50 men & women & hear from both, & still, the bad behaviour I hear about & observe is mainly by men. Sadly.

I hope you feel equally called out
