I am not even going to pretend that I know anything rational about this divorce mess with Alex Rodriquez and his estranged wife, Cynthia. All things being equal, this is one clear cut example where there is so much 'civil' discrimination that it just sickens me.
Mind you now, I wouldn't have any problem whatsoever if this 'financial arrangement' went both ways and with both parties; however, as we all know it doesn't. Oh don't get me wrong here, from time-to-time there have been landmark cases that involved very successful women shelling out some big dollars. Again as you and I both know this is not the norm.
Case in point: Joan London. My-oh-my, she griped at anything and everything the court ordered her to pay her, 'did-not-file-for-divorce-husband.' By and large I think we can all admit that gender equality simply doesn't exist when it comes to marriage, children, spouses, money, and divorce.
If this is an "age thing" Cynthia Rodriquez is a young and sprit woman of 35 years of age; A-Rod is 32 years of age; and, the ageless Madonna is 49 years of age!
Now then…we could go on for hours about how Johnny Carson got reamed not once, but how about seven times? And then the latest with Heather Mills [McCartney] trying everything from extortion to impotence to get the famous Beatle to kick over half a billion dollars!
And now Cynthia Rodriquez; Married the most prolific hitter in baseball, and he just signed a new contract this year for something around $252 million dollars. Six wonderful years of marriage is going down because some freaked out woman says, 'her husband is having an affair with Madonna.'
What sickens me in this pit of hell is that this is just another of the numerous ways the "Bar of Acceptable Standards" has be lowered. People don't need a reason to get divorced.
Details tomorrow…
