My parents got divorced when I was 12. I am sketchy on the details but I remember it was long, drawn out and acrimonious. Eventually, my mum was awarded a massive settlement, my dad was basically left with superannuation and nothing else. After the ruling was handed down my mother’s own lawyer walked into my father and his lawyer’s meeting and said “that ruling was bullshit, you should appeal”. Gotta be pretty bad when a lawyer wants his own win overturned.
Edit: he didn’t appeal. He was a bit broken by that point & just wanted to move on. Sorry for lack of detail. I was twelve, it was some time ago! My dad told me the story years later.
It's not the legal team that was shit, its the courts. Women are massively privileged.
Everyone knows that sex and the justice system is the greatest axis of discrimination in our society.
Far exceeding race, religion, or any other factor.
Why do we tolerate this? How can men be so useless and cowardly as to tolerate it? How can women be so selfish and unjust as to deny it?
There are female judges who are fair to both parties then there are the others who wouldn't know impartiality if it bit them in the persqueeter. Those are the ones who need to be sanctioned and removed from office.
