I really find it hard to believe that there's hordes of women who marry a rich bloke in order to divorce them a short while later. And if a woman is like that, then it should be pretty apparent if you look past the sex and get to know her properly before getting hitched.
But I do agree that if a marriage is very short, and there are no kids, both parties should end with what they started with, give or take.
My point is that many couples are happy for bloke to take breadwinner role, it's not usually a case that the woman refuses to work whilst the man is begging her to. It's a partnership, and when it's dissolved, both parties should come out equally. If you're not happy with that, then marry a career girl and be prepared to pull your weight and make sacrifices in your own career when kids come along.
It also often seems unfair that 'blame' doesn't have any weight in divorce settlements - but relationship breakdown is rarely as black and white as one party's fault or the other.
