Blu, I get your rant, but come on. We can bitch about the system all we want, and cast our votes for Ron Paul and all that. But at the end of the day, the system is what it is.
Those of us who are smart, rich, or powerful enough need to work AROUND or ABOVE it, not WITHIN it.
First, there is absolutely no reason why Kobe ever needed to get married. He could even have quality children raised without a wife if he so desired. If this one said "no marriage and I'm gone", he would have met an extremely high quality woman within weeks if not days anyway.
Second, he should have known better and gotten a prenup, as we've all said. Dude's been playing pro ball since what, he was 18 or 19? He got married in 2000. Plenty of time to have enough money and power to swing this. But clearly not the brains.
Kobe is uber-elite-class and he made a middle-class decision. He worked within a system that is meant to keep the peons in place, and he's so not a peon it's ridiculous. He "deserves" what he has coming to him.
I'm not saying I agree with the system, but it is what it is, and until it changes, you need to be above it.
This point goes for more than marriage. These rules are not meant for savvy entrepreneurs, rock stars, pro sports players, or politicians. So stop playing by them.

So then he should own half her tits and ass after divorce right? Your logic is fucked.
No she owns half the money the T & A captured. Kobe can go on with his talent and she can go on with hers, but during the years together she can keep half of what was produced.
When charged with rape how much do you think her staying with him etc helped his public image and helped him keep endorsements? How much did her showing up with the kids at the end of each game help his image?
He F'd up. He made a contract and he is paying the price to get out of that contract.
This was worth a lot:
Yea, makes a lot of sense. I mean hey, equal rights is only equal when men get shat on am i right? Are you a feminist?
Good article. Damn cunts and feminists. One of my sister's friends divorced her husband because he didn't say he loved her enough. She didn't even want to reconcile. Two more kids who won't have a father figure around the house all the time.
Ofcourse its unfair, she came up 100 million plus, don't forget she will write a book, appear on shows on what happened, who fucked up, how this happened, and ofcourse she will milk this to the day she dies....Kobe didnt realize that this pussy cost hundred million dollars plus
Then your beef is with feminists, not men who would like to be treated equal in court, the workplace, and educational environments...especially in the courts for both civil and criminal.
Why would she want to write a book? So she can have $100,500,000 instead of $100,000,000?
fuck it, i'm making a blog targeting the keyword "gay marriage divorce"
might be a couple years, though
Most laws in California are fucking stupid, not all states have that 50/50 bullshit thankfully, even though many judges do it anyway. Alimony is another evil.
Bit of a tangent, but this is my view on society:
Dated for a year - Married for 3 - Divorced = Aww they were a REAL couple, shame.
Dating for 6 years: Well their pretty serious I guess.

The court still awards 'alimony' (called spousal maintenance) if the income differential is high enough. In addition, the ex-spouse can make an application for spousal maintenance up to 2 years after the divorce has been finalised (decree absolute).
The laws here are gender neutral, so if the wife is making all the money they husband benefits. But it's a definite kick to the balls if you're the one who brought in all the money while you were married then she gets it all during the divorce because she earns less and has a 'higher need'.
In the Kobe case, if she gets the kids she's probably entitled to more than 50%. She would be in Australia anyway.
In a lot of places you don't have to get married to still be on the hook for half of everything.
The real answer to this is if you get married, don't marry a workshy bimbo. Marry a woman who's smart and makes plenty of money as well.
This also has the added bonus that you're less likely to get bored and start nailing your secretary. And you won't have dumb kids.
