MAGA's sad effort to make "trad" sexy

[Farmer-Rick]

17. I was always horrified by the idea

That a woman could be dumped from the marriage at 50 and get nothing to live on.

Alimony is very rare now a days. And it's never permanent and can easily be modified. Most men aren't rich enough to warrant paying allimony anyway. So the trad wife loses all her financial security and must rely on the whims of some guy.

It is still used in long-term marriages where there is a massive income disparity or if one spouse is disabled or in poor health. But it's very rare and of course can be changed easily enough.

The best bet for a wife after divorce is to get a lump sum payout. But average middle class men don't have enough money to split between 2 households. And that means the trad wife is left hanging with no means of support and no career opportunities. That must be very scary. It would be for me....
