Emma Johnson - Why Alimony Hurts Gender Equality

Emma Johnson, who often writes on gender issues, explains why alimony hurts gender equality. I am in complete agreement. Alimony provides money to a women at the expense of all women. Indeed, most women who receive alimony can rightly be viewed as traitors to their gender. These women do for more to promote gender inequality than men.


Johnson writes:

• Alimony keeps women dependent on men

• When women are dependent on men, the pay gap and wealth gap persists

• Alimony keeps men and women stuck in traditional gender roles

• Alimony increases post-divorce conflict and makes co-parenting difficult

• An end to alimony would help marriages avoid divorce

Fact: Per U.S. Census data, 97% of alimony recipients are women.
