    I don’t suppose the gender bias in family law is a big driver in the change in power balance. Might it also lead to fewer men wanting to get married and have children, or bother getting some college degree?

    I’m not so sure that the power balance hasdn’t always tilted in favor of women, thanks to the Tender Years Doctrine and other gynocentric laws and practices. I’m offended by the tone of this article, which implies that women are virtuous victims who are just now starting to know what “real” power is….in this case, financial power. Spare me the “woe is me” gender victimization tripe.
