What I’m going to get into today is going to be kind of dark. I’m doing this not to exacerbate any guy’s negative feelings, but to shed some light on the reality of how divorce operates in the United States as well as many other western societies. A lot of guys tend to focus on the logistics, the laws, the process of how a divorce proceeds. Much of what I see coming from Men’s Rights advocates about divorce centers on the need for legal and institutional reform of the process in their misguided hopes of creating a more ‘equal’ state between men and women. From what I understand, MRA’s primary hope (for most every issue they address) is that this reform can come from a top-down approach – changing the system to be more fair – rather than confronting the fact that these laws, divorce and others, are manifestations of an endemic social dynamic that is based on a fundamentally unfair, unequal interrelation between the sexes.
What I’m going to focus on here is dissecting this process, but doing so from a Red Pill aware perspective. While it may be the purview of the MRM that this process is fundamentally corrupt and in need of reform (I agree), what they willingly ignore is the root level inequalities that are part of men and women’s evolved differences that are the source of this process. This isn’t meant to be some take-down of the MRM; I find their causes worthy enough, but I believe their approach to solving them to be fundamentally flawed due to a refusal to accept the core, evolved differences in men and women and a stubborn refusal to reject the ideals of egalitarian equalism that the feminism they claim to hate is ostensibly founded on.
This system is designed to create conflict, but that conflict is rooted in the presumption that men are always at fault in it. This is why there can never be an equalist solution to correcting the endemic problems of modern divorce procedures.
At present I have a personal friend I’m counseling who is in the opening phases of this process. He and his soon to be Ex are also in ‘marriage therapy’. First thing I ask, “is it a man or woman therapist?” He says woman. I say, you’re fucked; start planning your exit now.
He agrees, but still has that Blue Pill hope he’s not wasting his money (she’s a SAHM) and they’ll be able to negotiate some mutually amicable feigning of her desire for him. When we invest ourselves in something we’ve accepted is supposed to be effective we’ll hold on to hope that it will because there’s a part of us (especially in idealistic men) that doesn’t like to think we are able to be conned. This is a very well studied psych phenomenon. We convince ourselves that we ‘got something out of’ an experience regardless of it being a provably bad investment. We like to believe that in all labor there is profit, but reality shows us, quite often, that this simply isn’t true.
I gave him a list of things to keep in his head as he was going to these counseling sessions, but I also told him the truth that marriage counseling is almost always ‘last stop before toll’ and that he needs to be careful now because his wife will eagerly use this therapist’s testimony to destroy his character at a later date. That’s the profit model for therapists in divorce proceedings. They’re getting paid when you’re coming and going.
I told him she will turn into someone he never thought she could become and most of it will be at the prodding of their therapist and her attorney (who he’ll also be paying). It’s in all of their best interests that they create a monster of him. The male anger bias I write about here will be the primary basis for his character assassination.
Anything even remotely, positively masculine or Alpha is still a ‘man being a man’ and this can always be reinterpreted as potentially aggressive or violent. In a feminine-primary social order where feminized men and women are taught that men are inherently evil and prone to anger and violence (the “culture” of masculinity) there’s an army of women and White Knight sympathizing men who want nothing more than to stick it to the ‘man’ symbolically. And when they draw a paycheck from doing so they’re all the more eager. Add to this that they feel a sense of moral justification in “making the world a better place” by burning him in an effigy of all men and you get to where we are now. We presently live in a social order that presumes any masculinity is “toxic” or “hyper” masculinity. So disassociated from anything positive has society become with regard to conventional masculinity that just the term is now masculinity is a negative connotation.
Needless to say this will be the starting point from which a soon-to-be-divorced man will have his undoing begin. So prevalent is the presumption of abuse on a man’s part that even the most saintly father can be remade into a secret monster. It’s just ‘how guys are’ and this presumption also serves as a point of justification for women, and Blue Pill male sympathizers, to feel okay about pillorying him.
Yes, I understand that there is at least a reportedly higher incidence of men being the abuser in domestic cases, but we also have to understand that the definition of “abuse” has been rendered so ambiguous that most men don’t realize virtually anything they do in a domestic confrontation can fit the definition of “abuse”. Just raising one’s voice is enough to qualify as psychological abuse. Denying a woman access to money also fits a new definition of abuse. I once counseled a guy who had been taken to jail for snatching the car keys away from his drunk wife so as to prevent her from driving drunk. She called the police and, as you likely know, the man is always the party removed from the home by police. Snatching the keys was enough to qualify his removal. 5 months later he’s living with his parents (at 43) and paying rent on a home and car payments on a car only his now ex is allowed to occupy and drive.
I know how my friend’s story is going to end. I’m doing what I can to give him fair warning – it’d be better for him to completely pull up stakes and remove himself from the situation than stick around and ‘try to make it work’ because the longer he lingers the more ammunition she and the therapist potentially get. I think this is also the profit model; keep the Blue Pill chump husband around the house for as long as it takes to build him up as a stereotypical ‘man’ and then escalate the most marginal conflict as a ‘typical’ domestic violence incident and he’s gone. If you watch the above documentary on the divorce industry you’ll see how many lucrative profit opportunities there are at every stage of divorce; and there is no incentive to dissuade divorce profiteers from doing anything different. And, as I stated earlier, there are many ready-made social and moral conventions available to help them justify their profits.
Old Books and New Books
‘No one cares how mean your ex was, how unfair she was to you and so on … at the end of the day, the system can’t right wrongs, they only process your case’
The above and following quote was from an article in the National Post, Family court advice for men, from one who’s made it through;
I’ve had hundreds and hundreds of notes; on a gender breakdown, probably 80 percent are from men, 20 percent from women.
I’ve heard from family court lawyers, some of whom are angry at my suggestions that fathers get the tough end of the stick in child custody cases (though the actual evidence is reasonably clear that they do), some of whom say “the whole system is B.S … one of the first things out of my mouth when I see someone is, ‘What’s your budget and how much does he/she dislike you?’” I’ve heard from judges and former judges and psychologists and counsellors.
Without exception, they agree that the system is beyond broken.
What we have, fundamentally, in the state of modern divorce is a conflict between old books social contracts serving as the ethical basis of a new books resource transfer from men to women (Thomas Ball even described it as such). Really this conflict is at the root of much of what Red Pill awareness (from the social perspective of intersexual dynamics) describes, but in this instance there’s an entire social complex that influences policy and profit. Judges, attorneys, psychologists and counselors all make a very good living from this fundamental conflict; and if you watch the Divorce Incorporated documentary I linked you’ll see that there’s no incentive to ever change that profitable conflict at any stage.
However, all of the people involved in even a typical western divorce are all subject to the belief sets that the Feminine Imperative has predisposed them to about men and women. We presume a default state of victimhood is to be applied to a woman and the benefit of that victimhood doubt runs deep. We see it evolve into the kangaroo court systems that govern what we’re told to believe is an endemic ‘rape culture’ on college campuses – up to and beyond denying a man his civil rights.
We’re taught that any slight appearance of abuse towards a woman is an opportunity to teach any man doing so a lesson, but should a man be the victim of the same abuse? Well, he probably had it coming. The Feminine Imperative has (and still is in some senses) prepared women and Blue Pill men to believe that women are untouchable; always to be believed, by default, in their victim status no matter the circumstance.
Now we can expand this presumption to every party involved in a divorce proceeding. We get female therapists whose livelihoods depend on following the victimhood of women and demonization of men (and masculinity) script the Feminine Imperative has laid out for them for most of their lives. We get Blue Pill Alphas eager to prove their authority by punishing any man who might remind them of their asshole fathers or who fits their idea of what the imperative has taught him is a “misogynist”. The imperative plays to the natural ‘protector’ impulse of these men. We get well-conditioned attorneys, counsellors and judges ready to follow that same script by legally enacting the retribution and restitution upon which feminism has always been based.
But underneath all of this we have the fundamental inequalities in ideology between what the old books social contract expects of men while the divorce industry enforces, almost unilaterally male, punishment based on a new books social paradigm to better empower women – presumably to right the past wrongs they believe were endemic in that old books paradigm. What we have today are new books divorce and marital laws based on those old books presumptions of men’s evils, indiscretions and addressing the toll it allegedly took on women. The result is a system that is designed to psychologically, financially and personally ruin any man whose idealism led him to believe that men and women share some mutually recognized concept of love; enough to compel him to a lifetime commitment in modern marriage. It is a system calculated to destroy the same Blue Pill conditioned men who will eagerly stand up to defend their ego-investments in it.
The common refrain to this is always “just don’t get married”, and it is precisely this system’s goal to disincentivize long term commitment between the sexes so that this response is the only logical one. Thus, we get women spending small fortunes to freeze their eggs in the hopes that one day some man will be foolishly idealistic enough to look past all the inherent life-threatening risks marriage and divorce uniquely disposes men to. Thus, we get old books moralists berating men for wanting to prolong their adolescence (never mind women doing so is considered empowerment) by avoiding the dangers of marriage that they’ve been smart enough to understand, or have been a party to in one way or another.
In my next essay I’ll be addressing the misguided opinion of some ‘stand up’ Purple Pill moralists that the Red Pill is “just for guys who are obsessed with sex and make getting laid their life’s mission”. I’ll elaborate on why this is simply a distraction from the much larger meta-scope of Red Pill awareness and intersexual dynamics. However, understanding how the divorce industry is based on the same dynamics the Red Pill has described for a decade and a half is a good illustration of why the Red Pill isn’t just about men basing their lives on getting laid. This system is fundamentally unegalitarian and unequal, and the designed imbalances are entirely founded in Red Pill intersexual principles. This is why the MRM will never be successful in their hopes of a top down institution of social change. The laws and the social imperatives that crush men are symptoms of a deeper problem that requires a bottom up changing of men’s minds about women and themselves.
@Roused: I laughed at the “UMC” packet (I’m guessing it is ammo, but Upper Middle Class is often mentioned here by some posters).

” . . . if it was good enough for the military it was good enough for me.” Bearing in mind that the military chooses gear to equip an army on different grounds than you ought to use to equip yourself and it is not exactly unheard of for military personal to buy their own equipment from civilian sources because of their displeasure with what they were issued.

Appropriate for a place that calls out the FI in all its forms is the case of the very Beretta under discussion.

Who cares… A girl worth boning has some dude on the hook somewhere… She might not even know ot. Lol.
Like another set of books,it would appear as if the time frame in modern economy when women’s learned responsibility for personal finances was a narrow occurance lasting maybe 50yrs tops. These days they are no more responsible than the failed system. They(women) can be taught financial responsibility,the trouble is men are not the recognized authority in a fem prime society,and there are few responsible women left to teach them. So yes seperate finances,and game her to put her money where her mouth is,tell her the reality of expenses,and let her help with them she can be as proud of her… Read more »
FC – no differently than anything else they say, like “I’m helping cure cancer” doesn’t mean at work she’s wearing a lab coat surrounded by beakers and microscopes, you must also consider the likelihood that she’s the cleaning lady making sure the biohazard boxes are emptied and wiped each night (kinda changes the handjob dynamics lol)
verify everything if you must, but it’s probably best to just not give a shit and do whatever you want

Have more options.
@Fact
Noncommital boning,and a flack jacket.
I used to do this woman,her old man worked the night shift at the smelter,she liked to sit at adjoining tables her with her huby and me with whoever just to see if I could hold frame.He was a rather large man with strong frame,nothing ever came of it just all in fun right.
Maybe you can contact her soon to be ex and let his pi take some photos if it would help his case.LOL
The 1st appointment with a female relationship cuntselor the ex said “I don’t want to give him all blame and make him feel guilty…” to which the cuntselor (despite knowing I was pretty much the sole financial provider of a good life) interrupted with something like “No it’s ok! This is your time to put all the blame and guilt onto him and relieve you from that burden…” I got up and left immediately never to return leaving the hag (definitely a crazy old cat lady) open-mouthed. The follow up male counselor was more “fun” and balanced but couldn’t “save”… Read more »
Rugby,thanks for the scary movie just before bedtime dude.
Cat morals.
That is a good one. We once got a kid a cat from the animal orphanage. Watching that damn thing around the house, I now totally get this. Permanently self-justified and lives by a golden rule – save the cat first, at all costs, in any circumstance. Very apt.

Hypothetical Married Red Pill Game with Divorce Inc. in the background: I have a “friend” who is happily married and has two adult children. He has a 1.25 million dollar retirement fund as well as a fair amount of assets and $1 mill life insurance (75% of it is ‘permanent’ non term). His mother has a net worth at least $5 million and four heirs. She’s 85 and kept incredibly good care of her body. Her life expectancy is 95. He’s 55 and his wife is 50, charming and attractive. As attractive as Barbara Felman in her Agent 99 prime.… Read more »

Not a lawyer,buut she is already at the age of rewriting the story and changing the facts with a bio clock at half past midnight.While at the same time your “friend” will be 65 when he stands to inherit and not much changed biologicaly just a little slower to the draw. Game never becomes unnecessary regardless of financials the burden of performance goes on to the bitter end.
@Stuff-it-in-theBox.
“Game never becomes unnecessary regardless of financials the burden of performance goes on to the bitter end.”
My friend is in total acceptance of that. Always and forevermore.
But my understanding that he has a binary option that he may want to take. I could be wrong, but am mostly ignorant of how each binary works legally in the face of Divorce, Inc.
I’m curious.
Dr Zipper Not to boast rather to make a point,I have been scrutinized by the state bureau of investigation for private use of explosives, emergency medical licensing board and their PI for the responsibility of your person and belongings male female or child,while incapacitated,the TSA for the transportation of hazardous material and the sheriffs dept for fire fighting in jurisdiction. I am sure the NSA has my number over and over.

Can’t help you there and not interested enough to look it up.

@dr z
“MPO and all” – Yes, you have to give them that. Also very like a woman. All children are born with self as MPO. Boys socialized out of it, girls (and cats) not so much.
Does this mean that women’s factory setting is platinum? Women operating under platinum rule by default, whilst men have to re-learn this somehow? Men working to attain that which women already have without working (bestowed at birth by the FI), in order to avoid having their lives revolve around women. Esoteric.
LP, sounds about right… men are encouraged to downgrade their masculinity to the feminine and women are encouraged to downgrade their femininity to their base animal side
curiously, men’s masculine and animal sides might be the same thing
Lost Patrol
Cats dont logic. So the Golden Rule makes no sense to them from the get go. But to logical dogs it makes all the sense in the world…
“curiously, men’s masculine and animal sides might be the same thing”
The theory is that men can be more easily trained to overcome their basest instinct for the betterment of the tribe,while women’s basest instinct is the betterment of the tribes reproduction.
And by some form of default they (women) are not currently being trained,rather encouraged to follow base instinct.
Even more to the theory,that masculine men are able to operate as a team by instinct naturaly,while feminized men are at a loss to function naturaly at a basic level and default to social conditioning to the point of :”curiously, men’s masculine and animal sides might be the same thing” Being at a loss for natural masculine role models.
lol, thanks stuffin for taking it to the next level, I was just talking out my ass trying to sound smart; I let the smart dudes fill in the actual smart parts
@ stuff I just came back from a killer and much deserved vacation in S. V.A., right on the border of N.C.. I went partly to celebrate my dad’s 79th birthday, and my 56th. All of my girls wanted to come down, and my parents said ” no problem “. 12 girls 18-23 showed up with 2 boyfriends, one being my youngest daughter’s beau. Lmao. The 2 young men were 18 and 23. Neither had ever been South before. Neither had ever been fishing or hunting or had fired a gun or driven an insanely fast hot rod. I tried,… Read more »

That’s it,going in a boat over dark water with hungry fish big enough to eat ya,shooting a weapon capable of lethal destruction,harnessing the power to move 100tons in a vehicle tht weighs 1.5 tons and feeling this power the quickening is all natural masculinity.
You made an effort it will take more time.
Where did the competition go of the I double dare you to jump or ride the natural competition get off?
sheesh blax, I’d like to be your daughter’s bf just to get to hang with your set for a while lol
@Dr Z
That basic is there in everyone and under some conditions comes to the surface,this is what scares us if we are capable of that it must be doused.
Animal side? Man, I don’t know about that. Natural masculinity? I’m still looking.”
False bullshit. You demonstrate. That’s enough. If anything. You demonstrate an Apex Premise and Presence. Which is enough to confuse a guys objectives. Which are move toward it. Even if you cannot achieve it. Do it.
