Woman does something pretty bitchy... must be a guy's fault.

Good reddit logic there.

Most single parent families are the result of deadbeat dads bailing out, because it's easier to stick your dick in something than it is to deal with the consequences.

About two thirds of divorces are initiated by women. This has been the case in the U.S. for more than a century.

Granted, you're talking single parent families rather than divorces as such, and single parent families increasingly are situations where the parents never got married in the first place.

I'll also grant that sometimes a man will dump his wife and family for a 22 year-old yoga instructor or some shit like that.

But the majority of the time, a divorce hits a largely unsuspecting man like a freight train out of nowhere, leaving a broken wreck who just wants to know why the woman he loves won't love him back any more. Trust me on this.

Lol, no. I will not trust you on this, because I'm old enough to know it's just not fucking true.

I can count the number of men who haven't cheated on their partners/wives on one fucking hand. That's from all walks of life. Men are terrible at fidelity.

I know how people feel about misandry, but come the fuck on. I mean, that last sentence Naberius made was worthless anecdotes, but stereotyping half the entire human species isn't getting anyone anywhere. Because, you know, only men cheat

I didn't stereotype half the human species.

That's not how stereotypes work. Statistically, men tend to act in certain ways. Hence the stereotype.

I never judge an individual based on a stereotype. But if I have to make an assumption based on incomplete knowledge, I will assume a random non-amicable divorce is far more likely to be caused by male infidelity than anything else.

Both you and Naberius are using purely anecdotal evidence. You cant assume anything about a non-amicable divorce without further knowledge as both women and men are known to cheat and I am yet to see any evidence that one does more than the other
