(367 posts)...the divorce law changes brought their own set of challenges economically (as a nation). Republicans fought against changing divorce law with arguments it would "make it too easy for women to leave their families" and "who's going to mind the children of women are working" as well as other such RW BS. Geez, repugnants are heading toward reversing no fault divorce because of the economics is brought to our country. Of course, they couch it in religious dogmas/belief, but it's still about men controlling women/economics/children etc.
I advocate leaving divorce as is, revamping support.
But I digress....
Repubs are about control and power. Hierarchy and patriarchy. Otherwise we'd not see the rise in racism and misogyny we're witnessing in America.
