sexist! next you will be saying Black men run faster.

Than women? Very true

I agree, on average women are better at this than men, it's biological much like men can run faster and are stronger than women, (again on average).

I think we're so obsessed with equality these days, that we confuse "everyone's equal" with "everyone's the same". Saying "X is better than Y at Z" is mis-construed as "X is better than Y", making a joke about someone who is black is misconstrued as making a joke about someone being black, etc.

Why is suggesting that the gender which has evolved to rear young would be better at that role, is on a par with saying that gender shouldn't do arbitrary activities?

Poor comparison.

It's more sexist to assume the woman should look after the children, that's on par with telling women not to drive

read the story he is paying £40K in child maintenance and £30k in spousal maintenance.

I think my butler pays that much.

£70k a year tax free is not enough to enable one to bath nightly in champers these days.

If the divorcees have no kids then yes, the husband should not have to pay anything to the wife. When kids are involved then the appropriate child maintenance payments should be made.

read the story he is paying £40K in child maintenance and £30k in spousal maintenance. His Argument is she needs to get a job before he retires because he won't be able to keep her after that.

Note the 10 year old is with the mother, the older kid is at boarding school. Its not like she can't plan to retrain.

Its interesting that many of the posters piled in and declared it unreasonable that she got a job having been kept in relative luxury for years.

I reckon my only chance for financial independence is to marry a woman who's already screwed her ex-husband out of a fortune, and then murder/cherish her depending on how things go.

So I'm against it.

I am not sure that women are suitable to be CUK mods though...

Indeed. Assuming women are only good to look after children and should not be working is incredibly sexist.
