Why is the birth rate falling? Where do so many divorces come from? Why do over 40% of children live in single-parent families without fathers? There are many reasons, and here is one of them...

Men are being taken for suckers via the civil registry office; this is from a private facebook group that teaches young women how to handle men. This has long since become a routine operation...

Let me explain the simplest scheme.

So, I’m a woman. I meet a man who has a house, a car, and pre-marital savings. I have nothing. But he enters into a marriage contract with me without giving it much thought. What’s my plan of action?

First, I need to make the house marital property. I convince the man that we need a new house in a different neighborhood—one with better clinics, schools, and infrastructure.

I argue that we’ll be raising children there in the future and definitely need a larger place, since we want a big family.

My husband sells his pre-marital house and buys a larger one, putting his pre-marital funds into the upgrades. Congratulations. We’ve accomplished step one: the house is now subject to division, and the money that previously wasn't subject to division now is, too—it’s tied up in the house.

Step two.

The car. I convince my husband that his car is old and we need a newer one; after all, we don't want to put the kids in danger if the old one breaks down, and we need something more spacious—we have to haul strollers around, too.

My husband sells his car and buys a new one, adding in his remaining pre-marital savings. Good. The car is now subject to division as well, and all those pre-marital funds have been converted into marital assets. Any money earned from this point on will also be subject to division. Three points checked off. But wait—we’d only get half, right?

Now, we have a child.

One is enough.

Three years of maternity leave. I’m being supported, I don’t have to work, the renovations are done exactly how I wanted, and we’re living in a house in a neighborhood that’s convenient for me—close to the kindergarten, school, and clinic; everything is just right. The child starts kindergarten. I can go back to work; it’s time to wrap up the plan. I find out that, during my three years of maternity leave, my husband has saved up a new sum of money—an amount that suits me.

I file for divorce.

I’m entitled to 50% of the house. But, since I..." There is a child registered in the house, and by law, custody of a child under 14 is awarded to me; consequently, his share of the property effectively remains with me as well. I already own a 75% share of the house. The judge suggests that my husband gift his 25% share for the sake of the child. If my husband is a fool, he’ll do it. But even if he doesn't, the court might order me to pay him for that 25% share at a reduced price. I would agree to that, because by paying for 25% I effectively acquire the other 75% for free—in essence, I’d be buying the house for 25% of its real value, and at a discount to boot.

I also end up with 50% of the car, having insisted in court that I need it to drive the child to kindergarten and for family errands. The court either awards the car entirely to me or—just like with the apartment—requires me to pay for my husband's half.

I take out a loan—either myself (leveraging the good credit history I built up over the years using the credit card my husband always paid off) or through friends or family. I use it to buy out 25% of the house and 50% of the car. Then, after the divorce, I pay off the loan using the money I received from my husband's share of the assets.

I buy champagne.

So, here is the bottom line:

I have a child; I am a mother—that box is ticked.

I receive alimony for myself as a divorced mother, plus child support—meaning passive income for the next 10+ years.

I acquired the house for 25% of its value (or essentially for free)—box ticked.

I got the car for free (or for 50% of its value)—box ticked.

I paid off all my loans using the money won from my husband in court and am debt-free—box ticked.

I have a house in a good neighborhood, a car, a child, and no debt. I did a great job. The «business venture» was a success. «Now one can look for the next man—this time, for the soul...»

Now, consider why women are so unhappy that men don't want to get involved with them. Men realize they can easily be dumped, and the person doing the dumping faces no negative consequences—in fact, she comes out ahead! Nowadays, a huge number of women are simply not fit for family life.

They are incapable of building a real family—one where partners stay together through thick and thin, through riches and poverty, in sickness and in health, supporting one another.

Everyone is happy to share the good times—the health and wealth—but the moment trials arise, they immediately run off to find a «real man.»

Men are treated in a purely transactional and functional way—like bio-robots who owe everyone everything—without anyone seeing the person beneath… The institution of the family has collapsed, and this is one of the reasons for the declining birth rate.

A healthy family is like a team of two climbers making an ascent: both are climbing upward, supporting and belaying each other. That is the only way it works. But when one climber hangs around the other's neck—constantly blaming, criticizing, causing scenes and stress, draining the other spiritually and physically, contributing nothing, complaining, playing the victim, and remaining perpetually dissatisfied—what is the point of such a partner?
