Ceffer says

Mistress shaming should be a spectator sport

In Europe it was common up to the end of the second world war to shave the heads and humiliate any women accused of "collaborating" (bo!nking) an enemy soldier.

That's if they were lucky. The unlucky ones were beaten to death by angry mobs.

I think recently the Chinese gubmnt changed the rule that women divorcing men won't get the house. men can keep the house

What I read was that whoever paid for the house gets to keep it, most commonly the man's parents. It is possibble that the law applies only when a third party paid for the house.

Seriously, this may be the smartest thing the Chinese government has done in a while.

It should also have the effect of reducing demand for bubble-prized housing in China.

Obligatory: If you like your house, you can keep your house.

lostand confused says

Women beating up other women. I think recently the Chinese gubmnt changed the rule that women divorcing men won't get the house. men can keep the house. I guess so it is back to women wanting to be the wife again. If they can't divorce him , take all his assets and live with their younger boyfriends, then they have to fight for him now!

Our system tries to be so fair to women that it overshoots and ends up being very unfair to the male.

CaptainShuddup says

Sorta like my wife, if I even entertained hitting on something else, when I was gigging regularly, she would materialize out of the mist. Otherwise I couldn't pay her to come out.

I beginning to feel sorry for you.

Seeing the pictures of the wife and her friends, I can understand why the dude cheated.

And for 38 years old, the chick taking the beat down looks pretty damn hot. I'd tap it. An I'm not even as dude with yellow fever.

Tappy tappy tap tap.

Ceffer says

Maybe Rin's Montreal ladies will start attacking and ripping each other's clothes off in public over him.

Considering that they already did that, a.k.a, private dance at VIP lounge or one's hotel room, there's no need to get the Mounties involved in a public display :-)

A reference on the modification to Chinese divorce law, in an article from Oct 2011:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/afghanistan/8857708/Chinas-divorce-rule-dubbed-Law-that-makes-men-laugh-and-women-cry.html

The article includes some very biased commentary such as

-----

"I think it is very obvious that the new law favours the richest person in any marriage," said Li Chunyan, the head lawyer at lihun.net, China's biggest divorce website.

That is nearly always the man, because Chinese women earn on average just two-thirds of mens salaries, according to a 2008 study by Beijing's Renmin University.

-----

Well, duh, the man is of course the richest person in any marriage, because otherwise the woman would not have been marrying him in the first place. And he has to earn 50% more (and work 50% harder) than the women in order to be considered marriageable. This is the same principle at work in China as right here in the US. Nothing new about that.

The aforementioned law should be enacted also in the US. How about putting it on the ballot in California?

In response to the new divorce law, some Chinese women demand their name on the property deed before agreeing to marriage:

http://www.china.org.cn/china/2011-08/18/content_23234995.htm

Unsurprisingly, this sounds just like the US: Matrimony is all about the Matri and the Mon(e)y she stands to gain from the marriage, whether it leads to divorce or not.

Marriage stopped working the day the laws changed so that the wife inherited the husband rather than the eldest son inheriting the father directly. When was that, in the 1800s sometime?

Having the eldest son inheriting the father directly gave both husband and wife a strong incentive to make the marriage work, and by the way is the origin of the concept of a "legitimate child", meaning a child born within the confines of marriage and therefore having a legitimate claim on an inheritance, whereas bastard children would not have any such claim.

If the marriage produced no son, the inheritance would pass to the nearest male offspring on the husbands side, but never anyone on the wife's side. Good system.

A mob, by definition, is angry.

Not necessarily:

noun
1. a disorderly or riotous crowd of people.
2. a crowd bent on or engaged in lawless violence.
3. any group or collection of persons or things.
4. the common people; the masses; populace or multitude.
5. a criminal gang, especially one involved in drug trafficking, extortion, etc.

It is only the latest in a number of similar incidents in which it seems there is placid acceptance in Chinese society of such humiliation, as long as the victim is seen as deserving in having caused a man to cheat on his partner.

That's red state mentality. It's exactly what the Christian right thinks. Despicable hypocrisy.

Too bad the victim isn't a relative of a high-ranking Communist Party member. The attackers deserve life in prison.

No you're thinking about an 'Ungry Mob.
They'll go burning and looting tonight.

Wow, I post some fairly pointed remarks on the state of marriage law in US and China, and all I get is a couple of Dislikes? I must have been posting too early in the morning.

On Patnet there's no such thing as bad publicity.

I'm as equally satisfied with dislikes as I am with Likes, people took the time to acknowledge the post either way.

The point was that I would like to stimulate a discussion of marriage law, and failed. I don't mind the dislikes.

There's too much Law and not enough Jesus in Marriage.

There happy now?

Well, that is a double-edged sword. in my social circle there are several women of the "a good man should marry me because Jesus says so" types. And that is probably not what you meant by "not enough Jesus in Marriage".

I mean, these not-so-young chicks who had all kinds of serious marriage opportunities at younger age age are now talking about how Jesus says that men should court them and woo them in traditional fashion, although if you had asked them for a date 15 years ago they would have turned you down in seconds flat.

Yeah and Wemminz also make you drill a hole in the wall hang something heavy while they get the level, that they don't know how to use. Ask you to move it over, up or down a few inches. SO you take it back down redrill the hole, and then rehang it. Just to have them say they want it on another wall.
Then now you've got two freaking holes in the wall, that they'll ride you relentlessly over. Until you go to home depot to get wall repair materials.
You go back home, and repair the wall. Just so they can point out what a crappy job you did at patching the wall for the rest of your lives.

Yeah... Fun times, fun times!

That never happened to me. Whenever a woman has had me drill a hole, it would be a cold day in hell before she asked me to go drill a different one.

You've never been married, or played handyman for girl you were courting have you?

I guess my dirty jokes are too subtle....

It warms my heart to see this.

As with so many other issues: deregulation, financial innovation and not letting stupid tree huggers dictate terms to businessmen, China is a model for America.

That's why it's called "politically correct." You get flogged, beaten and persecuted for stating a straightforward, transparent, obvious and immediately observable, ungarnished truth.

You have to "catch on" to the non-obvious, oblique, false and rigid idiocy and learn to say that, instead.

Because the oblique but politically correct falsehood is a matter of random, programmed, non-pragmatic and unworkable fantasy rather than obvious truth, you may have to take a few beatings from the political correctness police before you get it and bow down.

If you aren't getting several dislikes for every innocuous post you make, then you haven't pissed off the conservative scum enough!

I WANT TO USE THESE MEDIUM TO ENCOURAGE MAN AND WOMAN THAT ARE HEART BROKEN , IN PAIN OR DEPRESSED BECAUSE OF THEIR

MARRIAGE OR LONG TERM RELATIONSHIP TO FORGET ABOUT THERE WORRIES FOR THE WILL GET THE HELP THE WANT OR HAPPIENESS BACK.I

was married to my husband for 4 years and all of a sudden he started seeing another lady (his mistress).he started hailing

at me and he was abusive.. and he hated me , but I still loved him with all my heart . the situation made me unsettle and

not to focus at work .so a friend told me about trying (prophet salifu )spiritual means to get my husband back and

introduced me to him ? i did not listen to her and hoped that my husband will come back home . after 9 month of seperation

and depression , it got out of hand and my husband came back home to break the news to me that he want a divorce that he

is getting married to his mistress .Hmmm it was so shocking to me ,i felt sad and more depressed ,so i contacted my

friend again and decieded to try to use spiritual means reluctantly..although I didn't believe in all those things? I

never thought in a million years that i will get my husband back to me a again. but I was proved wrong.after 24 hours, my

husband came back and was pleading..he had realized his mistakes..i just couldn't believe it that we are back together. I

am deeply satisfied and thankful with prophet salifu work .if you also want to fix you marriage or relationship email

him at prophetsalifu@yahoo.com or prophetsalifu@gmail.com , his work is for a better life .

These ladies are just as batshit insane as Lisa Nowak, remember her?

Beating up on the 3rd party, is the worst choice of the many choices before you.

I emailed my witch Doctor and this is what he said to me.
"Ei Ah Ooh ah ah watta watta bing bang ooh ah"

Naked cat fight. Yes, yes, yes. Add a few more aggrieved ladies. Oh, yes!!!!!

Hey! Who resurrected this thread, over a year old? Could it be .... Satan? (ob churchlady joke).

Anyway, on this thread I got some serious amount of DISLIKE-votes because what I said about the general state of marriage in the world and the US. It might be interesting if some old/new readers have a look again and see if they have changed their minds since last time. Bon appetit!

It has to be law in Denmark for liberals to consider it.

Worse, if anything due to the gender gap.
