This is directed at women, even if he’s abusive and literally a killer, you have to stay married. If you get divorced you commit adultery, which obviously is worse than murder, and so if you do separate from him physically, you cannot pursue a relationship with another man. This is about cuckolding other guys more than it is about maintaining the sanctity of marriage.

This type of talking is getting more popular lately. Telling women that even if he’s abusive, you can’t divorce. There is also another conversation that happens, a little quieter and with fewer ears, that tells men that if their wives are unfaithful, be it cheating or not providing for his needs, men can divorce their wives. There’s scripture to back up this position, though I’m not one to memorize Bible verses. It’s most certainly a double standard based on the biblical worldview of women being chattel for men.

Look at Steven Crowder, he’s fighting no-fault divorce while his wife is fighting to get away from his abusive, controlling self. There are lots of folks in his circle that are targeting no-fault divorce because it is mainly utilized by women to get away from men. It allows women to take control over their lives, whereas before men had all the control, they could leave wives on a whim and the wives would be stuck begging for help. There’s a push to get back to traditional marriage that goes beyond not allowing LGBT people to marry whomever they love. They’re pushing for women to go back to being completely dependent on men, to be unable to provide financially for themselves, to purchase big ticket items without a man to sign off, to plan their families, and such. It seems like fringe thinking now, but the right is devious in that they don’t need immediate wins. They chip away, and chip away, until the dam breaks, like they did with Roe. It doesn’t matter that their plans are unpopular, they are popular with the right people. Abortion is something that has majority support, but we can’t protect it by being the majority (or even being right) because there are people high enough in our government to wipe it away with a stroke of a pen, so too is the rights of women to buy houses, hold credit cards, get divorced, live alone if they decide to deny these things. The Equality Act would have protected women from this ages ago, but we haven’t been able to enshrine our humanity into the law of the land because some powerful people do not agree that we are human.

Okay, sorry for the rant. I’m sure I have more to say but I have to get to work.

Women are people.

And WHY aren't women allowed to divorce their husbands? Because that would mean that 𝗔 𝗪𝗢𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗜𝗦 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗘𝗤𝗨𝗔𝗟 𝗢𝗙 𝗔 𝗠𝗔𝗡 𝗜𝗡 𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗠𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗥𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧𝗦.

And Duncan Dipshit just COULDN'T deal with that (poor baby).
