Yes it is, and yes I can.
It follows a very prevalent and predictable pattern of a driven, successful man who has to give half of his earnings to a woman whose greatest accomplishment, by all rights, is marrying said man.
I mean, what accountant and novelist do you know is worth billions of dollars?
Per Google search, Phil Knight is the wealthiest accountant at $25 billion, but he wasn't just an accountant, and he didn't make that money working as an accountant for a business that somebody else (never mind his own spouse) had already started.
And the wealthiest novelist is J.K. Rowling at $1 billion, but that's Harry ****ing Potter. What the **** did Mrs. Bezos ever write?
As it pertains to middle class divorces, it follows a common theme of a man doing all the heavy lifting, making all the money, assuming all the risk, and then being compelled by threat of legal violence to give half of it to a woman whose contribution nowhere near resembles an equal partnership to justify a 50:50 split.
