I mean, that is kind of the deal. Women have been historically paid less or stayed home because men had to provide for the whole family. If we are talking about a very traditional patriarchy, men inherit the land because they need to provide for a wife and family, women do not because their husbands are the ones who provide that. People have historically married for financial reasons, even today that is the driving factor in relationships. Only for a short period did people site love as the main reason and that resulted in higher divorce rates. When women are not equal, then yeah, you take the financial position of your partner into consideration. I make more than my husband, but I did marry him so I could apply for financial aid. I even supported him through college, but there are a lot of women not in my position and they are working against a biased structure so be mindful of your choices in partners.

Or, and I know this is a bit out there, we could just treat people like actual people regardless of their gender, we could treat each other as equals and work together - sadly there's not enough people doing so already but I'm doing my bit in teaching my children that people are people and everyone should be treated decently even if they don't deserve it, be the bigger person and don't lower yourself. Maybe one day it'll be common place, doubt I'll live to see it though

all i can say is she got hurt

It's painfully obvious that we cannot move forward as a race when there are people like these around. Instead of collectively striving to better ourselves and move forward as a race, these bottomfeeders just want something to latch on to with no considerations beyond their own.

My ex-SIL used to say the first marriage was for money, the second for love. That was her excuse for cheating on her husband (my husbands youngest brother) when he didn't have steady work and couldn't afford to buy her a house. She then walked out, ran to her lover, only to get slapped in the face with the reality that her boyfriend (who was also cheating on his wife) had no intention of leaving his wife and promptly broke it off with her. She burned her bridges when she left my BIL...so now she is single. My BIL, in the meantime, re-married to a woman that helped him get a good job and now he's bought the house, has a new car and a better life. Go figure...

There's somebody whose parents never hugged her

Yep, that's called "feminism", and it is just about bitches making up excuses to be even worse bitches.
