> Call me sexist but the fact is that roads, houses, airports, planes and all kinds of infrastructure is built and maintained almost 100% by hard working men. So is internal (police) and external (army) security. Of course that’s not sexist, it’s just a list of facts. This however: >Don't get me wrong, I highly value marriage but I'm not willing to enter a deal where I'm having to give up everything to her and can not expect to get anything in return for it. For example if we married and divorced (without children) she would be entitled to 40% of my net income as long as I am alive. is. It shows that in your world view, men make all the money and women don’t work. After all, if you were a stay-at-home dad and your wife had a career, would the roles not be reversed?

I don't feel that this is sexist. Here in Austria even left wing media had to admit that only 35% of women in working age do work full time, while 90% of men do work full time. I have no problem with that because someone needs to raise children and still it's mostly women doing it. (which is one of the most important jobs someone could possibly do) > After all, if you were a stay-at-home dad and your wife had a career, would the roles not be reversed? That's all fine, someone has to do it after all if we want our civilisation to still exist in 100 years. I'm just pointing out the fact that men still at this moment mostly do the work that provides their families with necessary resources. Every couple should be able to find a private arrangement that suits them best without being attacked for it.

You are misreading that...he is stating that the divorce and alimony laws in his country favor the women over the men, which is often true. He is making no claim that the woman couldn't earn more. Its not that all men work and women don't. Its that in his case, under current law, he would lose a lot in a divorce. Please read more carefully on such a sensitive topic.
