Of course the poor thing stayed at home with the kids and had all of her bills paid for as well as some rather lavish jewelry so she gets….not half…..not 60%…..but 70%. It’s because the income disparity of course. Another reason to not get married and become financially responsible for them.

Item: Florida man denied mammogram because , well, he’s a man.
This man’s insurance didn’t cover mammograms. Why would his insurance company cover mammograms for men silly? So when he develops a painful lump under his left nipple he hears of free mammograms at a local clinic. He is turned away because, yup you guessed it, he’s a man. Fortunately the local TV station took his case and he was able to get the help he needed. Kudos to WFTX in Fort Myers Florida!
So, if these people get their way you can be denied travel outside of the UK and be restricted from working around children as well as a host of other things even if you have not been convicted of anything. Furthermore, if you are convicted of any kind of sex crime anywhere, even having been put on the sex offenders registry here in the U.S. for, let’s say, urinating in public, you would get the Royal (pun intended) in the U.K. Things are getting scarier and scarier all the time.
Item: Rabbis accused in plot to kidnap, torture husbands in order to get them to divorce
Under orthodox Jewish religious guidelines only the husband can grant a religious divorce, not the other way around. That does suck and I can’t understand why any woman would get married under those circumstances. But not to fear, just talk to the Rabbi and he has some buddies that will take care of business for you. It will cost you a couple of bucks, though.

What’s a girl to do when she can no longer rely on Big Daddy Government to pay her bills?
Item: Viagra maker has more cash on hand than U.S. Government.
The folks at Slate just can’t help themselves – they have to find a way, however irrelevant and tangential, to link the government shutdown to the penis.

What’s a girl to do when she develops a warm relationship with an older man who expects her to do the work he is paying her to do?
