And i think that divorce rate is also affected by that social problem of men being taught to think that they should be in control, that they should be stoic, that they should be macho and unflinching leaders all the time. Male pride is just as much a reason for the divorce rate as it is for the suicide rate, imo. So we could kill 2 birds with 1 stone on that one.

your first sentence is utter nonsense, no offence. balancing the law is far more profound than telling men to man up?
The divorce rate is a combination of many factors. However the bias in law in favour of mothers, stemming from the bias in favour of mothers must be addressed urgently. This is a major factor in women winning over 80% of divorces, keeping the family home and custody of children in over 80% of cases.
There is also an estimate ratio of nearly 1000 to 1 times more support agencies for men than women in the UK. How can anyone suggets that is fair , just or balanced. meanwhile men commit suicide at 3 to 4 times the rate (and the gap is widening) and the so called caring british public does virtually nothing about it.
