How widespread is the marriage strike?

In case anyone didn't know, there's a growing movement of men refusing to marry to avoid the perils of no-fault divorce and being taken for all their worth undr legal systems that declare him guilty until proven innocent.





What I want to know is: does it extend beyond the English speak countries? Has there been any media attention on it?How widespread is the marriage strike?
I know from personal experience and research I've done into it for my college honors project that it does indeed seem to be spreading to all areas of the western world, not just English speaking areas, and with good reason. For the most part men get seriously screwed in 95% of divorces so you can understand why no man wants to marry these days, especially since there are no serious social implications to getting everything you used to have to be married to get outside of marriage these days. I personally am on the marriage strike myself after being screwed over myself in a divorce. I guess that makes me somewhat biased but the facts are the facts regardless. I'm sure this will dig up the flames, but any reasonable person knows the reality.How widespread is the marriage strike?
i dont know about the strike, but i am wondering what country you are from that has courts 'screwing' men who divorce. i am a divorced woman, and my husband came out financially better off than me, even though he left me for another woman. and- i know lots of other women who received no special consideration for being female. if anyone is striking, it is me,along with many other ladies who are happier single.
Those men better not tell the women they're dating about it or they cant probably forget about sex, lol.
there is a long standing ';strike'; or shirking of responsibility among certain racial groups in some countries.
I googled the marrige strike.

Found some interesting stuff on askmen.com





Every single one of us has made mistakes with women. We've been conned, duped and dazed by physical attraction. We've made fools of ourselves by kissing the feet of females who treated us like dirt. We've wasted countless hours and spent small fortunes chasing after women who lied to us and used us, and turned out to be rotten.





But do we learn from our experiences? No. Every time we think it's going to be different. We think if we just try harder, or do one little thing differently, the result will change.





Well, it's not going to change. If you keep pursuing the same kind of woman, you'll just get your heart broken over and over again.





Keep a watchful eye out for the following list of women, and you'll be one step closer to curing yourself of habitual *****-dating:





1- Miss Feminist


This woman postulates that all the ills of society are orchestrated by men and the best thing a man can do to improve himself is cut off his testicles and grow a pair of ovaries. She believes that women are angelic creatures who would make the world a utopia if only the male ';patriarchy'; would allow them to. Any woman who promotes these absurdities lives in a fantasy world and will have no problem at all treating a man in a way that she would never herself abide by. You can easily identify her by her incessant mantra, ';All men think with their penises.'; Avoid her at all costs.





2- Miss Take


She's out for your money -- pure and simple. Miss Take is the ultimate in high maintenance. She expects a man to finance her entire life just because she is biologically female. To her, a man should pay for drinks, dinners, trips, flowers, and jewelry, while she feels absolutely no guilt or compulsion to reciprocate. She is nothing but a whitewashed prostitute. Miss Take thinks her vagina is plated with gold and is worth a million dollars. She is greed personified. Since she has no concept of someone else's feelings, her only interest is in getting what she wants. And don't be fooled -- some apparently very ';nice'; girls are the greediest of them all.





3- Miss Romance


This type of woman lives in a fantasy world of Lifetime Channel movies and romance novels. Every night she goes home alone to spend hours flipping through her bride magazines, imagining that, at any moment, Prince Charming will ride up on his white horse, sweep her off her feet, and offer her a problem-free existence for the rest of her life. The Miss Romances of the world have been coddled by parents and family, told they are ';princesses,'; and have absolutely no idea that real life consists of paying bills and cleaning toilets. Miss Romance will expect to be taken care of, will be a dud in bed, and will, almost overnight, turn into a shrieking nag. Run.





4- Miss Elusive


This woman is closely allied to Miss Romance, but with a dark side. She is usually one of the ';walking wounded'; -- someone who has been hurt in past relationships and so subconsciously avoids or sabotages new relationships in the present. Your association with her will be one of utter frustration, as first she shows great interest in you, but very quickly runs away -- then repeats this cycle over and over again. Miss Elusive is the queen of mixed messages. She will flirt with you and date you, but you'll never get past ';friend'; status. What you will get is a million excuses for her unavailability, all calculated to deceive herself that she just doesn't have time for a relationship. Save yourself some heartache -- don't get involved with her.





5- Miss Angry





Like Miss Feminists, Miss Angrys really don't like men. They scorn the male gender and can rattle off all the wrongs and misdeeds of every man they've ever encountered. To Miss Angry, there's no such thing as a nice guy -- they're all ';jerks,'; ';creeps'; and ';pigs.'; Many of them have lots of simmering anger at men, which can explode at any moment like an erupting volcano. Unless you're into lots of drama and screaming, stay away.





6- Miss Insecure


This woman seems great at the start because she's very nice, accommodating and treats men well. But her inner insecurities don't take long to surface. Pretty soon she's calling you 10 times a day, asking to see ';where the relationship is going,'; or because she ';just wants to hear your voice.'; She needs constant reassurance that she's attractive, and worries incessantly about her makeup, hair and the alignment of her clothes. She's clingy, needy and compulsively agonizes that you're going to leave her at any moment for ';someone better.'; This kind of thing can get really creepy really fast.





7- Miss *****


Miss Bitches are the sulkers, pouters and ball-busters of the female world. They are very unpleasant people who treat their fellow humans poorly, care only about themselves, and aren't concerned at all if they hurt you or anybody else. Most Miss Bitches qualify as Miss Takes, too. Miss Bitches are usually good-looking and well dressed, and you can easily identify them by the scowls on their faces as they imperiously strut through the world.





8- Miss Me


A close relative of Miss *****, Miss Me is entirely focused on herself. Miss Me needs to be the constant center of attention no matter what she does or where she goes. She is a selfish, self-indulgent, self-serving narcissist who was raised as ';daddy's little girl,'; and expects the same from you. Unless you enjoy the company of spoiled brats, stay far, far away.





9- Miss Desperate


Whether it's her baby clock ticking or she's the last of her girlfriends to trap a man, Miss Desperate wants to get married -- now. She doesn't care who the guy is or what he does -- as long as he's got a penis she can drag him to the altar. Watch out for this one!





10- Miss Turncoat


She's a conniving little piece of work who's an expert at conning men. Miss Turncoat will tell you exactly what you want to hear until you're hooked deep into the relationship (or married) and then the truth comes out. Overnight, your sweet little girl turns into a demanding, greedy, mercenary harpy who will browbeat you into submission if she doesn't get her way.





11- Miss Tease


Usually, you can spot Miss Teases a mile away because she flirts with anything in pants and flaunt her sexuality at every opportunity. Sometimes she sponges off older men; sometimes she's a ball-buster who enjoys getting men sexually excited and then walking away; and sometimes she just basks in her sexual power by attracting men like bees to honey. No matter how she operates, you can't trust her because she craves male attention and if somebody better comes along, she'll dump you in a heartbeat.





12- Miss Controlling


She is a subtly nasty one who will wind up directing every phase of your life. She will tell you what to wear, where to go, who to talk to, what friends you can have, what you can eat -- everything. And if you try to stand up for yourself, she will cut off sex, cry, scream, pout, or use any other deceptive female tactic until you give in and succumb to her demands.
