In Australia, ...This news is completely outrageous. In Australia, they are extending 'marriage', and all the penalties that marriage imposes upon men, to men who haven't even gotten married.<BR/><BR/>I believe that under new legislation, a couple living together for 2 years (cohabiting), is deemed to have crossed the threshold where a marriage-equivalent asset-split can occur.<BR/> <BR/>'De facto splits on a par with divorce'.<BR/>http://www.theage.com.au/national/de-facto-splits-on-a-par-with-divorce-20081018-53o3.html<BR/><BR/>Covers the same story: 'De facto couples bill passed by Senate':<BR/>http://news.smh.com.au/national/de-facto-couples-bill-passed-by-senate-20081016-52ay.html<BR/><BR/>And how charming, now a man and his girlfriend can sign a 'prenup', because in the eyes of the law, they're now 'married' - at least as far as legally having a shot at his assets is concerned.<BR/><BR/>'Prenuptial rights for same-sex, unmarried':<BR/>http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/prenuptial-rights-for-samesex-unmarried/2008/10/18/1223750399550.html<BR/><BR/>This is total, outrageous, feminist overreach. Two years of sex with a girlfriend should *not* cost a man his house. This sort of redistributive thinking is grounded upon an outdated, 1950s social-model of society, where an 'abandoned woman' could potentially be left destitute with children. <BR/><BR/>Women today outperform men in school, in university, have their own jobs, and their own money. There is absolutely no justification for them to collect men's assets on top of this, as a legally enforced 'tariff' for having a non-marriage relationship with her.<BR/><BR/>We know men are already avoiding marriage because it's just such a raw deal. So, in order to 'harvest' more men, the man-hunters are extending the size of their net. On the bright side, this overreach may well be the tipping-point that politicizes many Australian men.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
