You don't have to buy into anything, nor do you have to accept reality as it actually is, though you do so at your own peril. If you don't want to believe my version than that's perfectly fine, though if you end up getting burned for not acknowledging things I mention, well don't come back crying for sympathy when you were clearly warned. The thing about many men who were taken to the cleaners in divorce court is that many didn't have fair warning. More or less their culture betrayed them. As divorce and broken marriages become more the norm it's getting to the point where men have fewer excuses, although I'd argue there is a ways to go before I can really blame a lot of them. There are still a lot of ways for this culture to sucker you in.
But go be idealistic if you want. I never claimed to have all the answers, I'm just calling it the way I see it, not necessarily the way it "is".
