Should A Feminist Be Entitled To Alimony Or Financial Support After Divorce ? by Nobody: 8:02pm On Nov 04, 2017 |
Feminists are believed to want separate financial dealings with men in a marriage. Now, lets assume all men like feminists and agree to marry feminists. Five years down the line, the lady doesn't do too well financially while the husband becomes very wealthy, if the marriage fails and both party go separate ways, should the once " feminist wife" be eligible for alimony? Afterall the arrangement is your money's yours, while mine's mine. So should a feminist be entitled to alimony or financial support in any form after a divorce? 1 Like |

I think you have the wrong understanding of whom a feminist is. There are branches of feminism so you should be specific |

Alimony is gender neutral A lot of men are eligible for alimony payments but they forego it for various reasons(Pride,desire to move on....etc) ......Alimony is "actually" anti-feminist Alimony(maintenance) is an outdated system that was put in place decades ago because "most women" were "uneducated and lacked financial security," it's different from child support and usual distribution of assets acquired during the marriage it's a system that is in place to protect the "financial weak individual" after the termination of the relationship Having said that.......your analogy is ignorant, A true feminist(educated and intelligent) will know that she is entitled to half of the "assets acquired during the marriage" ........Most established women don't request and desire alimony payments Feminism doesn't mean that a woman desires financial independence | A Conservative person can also desire financial independence. "That decision is personal" 5 Likes |

No to alimony. Alimony is patriarchal, it was made to serve as a form of security in ancient times when women couldn't get reasonable work or remarry upon divorce. For a feminist whose branch of feminism is against patriarchy, I don't think she should seek alimony. Alimony law is gender neutral. When a marriage ends, the financially buoyant one, pays the other a form of support. The buoyant one could be male or female. Yes to 'child' support. The kids are theirs, the man owes his kids that duty to take care of them financially. Feminism isn't against a man playing his fatherly role...at least to the best of my understanding. I'm just getting to hear feminist do my money is mine and yours is yours. That would mean, lots of nigerian wives are feminist. A stingy or financially conservative person can have this attribute, it has nothing to do with feminism. That said, whatever is acquired during the marriage belongs to the couple. How it's shared is what I don't know much about. #PocoNuggets: If you have to bury people on a 'forum', do it with superior facts...not bullying 2 Likes 1 Share |

A pro-feminist position would hold that the payee and payer of alimony be decided by who's financially worse off after the union, and not by gender. It's already being done that way. When Brian Austin Green and Meghan Fox broke up, for instance, he demanded alimony from her given that he couldn't work as much due to his vertigo. |
