- 70% of families have both parents working, so the age old adage of the man working hard to put bread on the table while the woman sits on her ass watching the kids is no longer accurate.
-Men are statistically more likely to cheat then women are, so it's more likely that it'll be the husband ****ing some Stacy from Facebook while the wife is away then the other way around.
- Men are more likely to abuse their spouses then the other way around.
The only part of the comic that's true is the guy getting ****ed over in the divorce, our divorce system is hilariously broken in womens' favor, almost as bad as law enforcement.
But beyond that, nah. Take your whining and go back to MGTOW, you spineless cuckold *****. And don't ever breed; your retard genes getting passed on to the next generation would make nuclear war sound appealing.

It's not that it's not funny it's just that you don't give a good vibe. You're not chill, brah.
I've noticed that this forum(this section) is basically liberal views vs conservative view.
There's hardly any fun among the members, in the sense that you can all come together as a community and have a good time; it's all mostly serious business.
It is, of course, totally a mistake for me to engage here at all, but what the hell...
This is something that occurs to me a lot watching things spill out in real life. So, these cartoons at the top are obviously not a balanced view- we have the woman at home, the nagging woman, the woman as the guilty cheater, the woman who turns the kids against the man etc. I know there's a couple of things that can be read like the man is at fault there as well, but the overwhelming feel is the woman at fault (especially the second one). Hopefully, no-one is seriously advancing that as the average state of affairs.
My thing is though- even within the 'wronged-man' bias of the cartoon, I can't help thinking the man is a bit of a prat. This starts right at the start when to both requests he says 'ok'. Now, from what I have observed of failed marriages in my social circle and general area, an 'ok' attitude is the start of many things. People want to get to the 'live happily ever after, roll the end credits' situation and so when someone suggests marriage and/or kids, they say 'ok' because that's the objective, yeah?
But often this is a decision made without any actual analysis about whether this is a good idea. You may WANT something to be a good idea, but that doesn't make it so. This is more than just haste- it's a fundamental inability of some (dare I say many?)people to understand what marriage and long-term relationships really entail.
This is where I can run intro trouble- but I really think this is a problem that disadvantages the woman. In a relationship that is failing because the couple failed to consider the long-term consequences, it's generally the woman who gets the short side. The man seems to think things are ok and doesn't notice that the woman is unhappy. Then when the woman snaps, it's the woman that tends to get blamed, whereas to my mind, the inability of the man to even sense there was a problem is at least as big an issue. The panel above where the man is going golfing whilst the wife is pissed off rather sums it up actually.
This isn't a 'men are the bad guys' post either- because women are just as much as men able to jump into a long-term relationship that isn't actually a good idea. It's just a short part of my general feeling that the major problem with marriage today is the starting point- people jumping in cluelessly without proper communication, not because they are incapable of communication but because they are too blinded by social convention and a wish for everything to work out actually to think clearly about consequences.
And so, as I say, even in a one-sided thing like this, I see the man say 'ok' and I immediately think "Idiot!"
I've seen marriages detonate in worse ways than that cartoon, and everyone wants to blame the woman, but I also see a man who got it wrong, and it was the woman who was suffering first. That's not to absolve of blame, but it's to point out that blame is often more complex than it looks at first.
And for every blatantly failed marriage, I think there are at least as many that are just bloody miserable for the same reason, but are forced to stay together by convention, cowardice (and I find cowardice very understandable there btw) or because there's no other way to bring up the kids.
