What is with the male bashing?

I have been a once divorced single for almost twenty years now, a veritable veteran of life in the post divorce trenches. I am quite sociable and know and have met many, many divorced people, both men and women, from their forties into their seventies. I have listened to their stories and observed their behavior. Based on what I have seen, heard and experienced "fault" is about 50-50. Both men and women do stupid things, not that stupid acts are the sole bases for divorce. It is almost always far more complicated than that.

I believe more divorces are initiated by women than by men because relationships are more important to them. Most men are OK with an OK marriage. IMHO most women want more than just OK in a marriage.
