Several years ago, when it became known that Melinda Gates decided to divorce her husband, I distinctly remember how many men's activists blogs were all talking about "frivolous divorce'', how women are "never haaappy'' "tingles", "even rich men can't have a lasting marriage nowadays, so never marry, guys" and similar stuff. Because if the wife files for divorce, she never really can have a valid reason, right?
Well, I don't know, may be their divorce had something to do with this:
Bill Gates has issued a forceful denial of allegations made by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein claiming the Microsoft co-founder contracted a sexually transmitted disease from Russian women and secretly provided antibiotics to his then-wife Melinda. The claims surfaced Thursday (January 30) as part of a massive document release by the U.S. Department of Justice.
The allegations appear in draft emails Epstein sent to himself in July 2013, which appear to be written from the perspective of Boris Nikolic, Gates' longtime science adviser at the time. According to the Daily Mail, the emails claim Nikolic helped Gates "get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls" and was asked to provide antibiotics that Gates could "surreptitiously give to Melinda."
Funny, it appears that Melinda did give a reason for the marital split
at that time, which you wouldn't know about from reading the Manosphere
(I didn't):
Gates and Melinda divorced in 2021 after 27 years of marriage. Melinda has cited her ex-husband's relationship with Epstein as one factor in the split. Melinda hired divorce lawyers in 2019 after learning about Gates' repeated meetings with the convicted pedophile.
Not-so-frivolous after all, eh? Many of these activists are just as toxic as feminists and probably sponsored and encouraged by the same people, with one objective: to prevent family formation and further suppress the birth rates. And if you are at all social media savvy, you should have figured out by now who is really behind it.
Amen on all counts. The idea that feminism's toxicity means that every husband is an innocent dove is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteThe most disturbing part of this trend is that Christian men -ostensibly- seem to have bought into the narrative that every divorce filed by a woman is done without any wrongdoing on the part of the man.
I'm a very harsh critic of what has become of Western womanhood (my friends would say I am TOO harsh), but even I have not forgotten that men and women are actually equally sinful.
Yeah, exactly. Also, people often refuse to cite the reasons for divorce to protect innocent parties, like the children. Not that I agree with no-fault divorce, but since it exists, that's what many choose to do.
ReplyDeleteHello Sanne. This is off topic, but you are good at digging up articles, etc. I am wondering if you have any thoughts on phone addiction? It is so out of control. I know I'm on mine far more than I should be.
ReplyDeleteSome will say, get a dumb phone. Well, my phone is my only source of Internet, so that won't work. Maybe this isn't even a topic you are interested in, so only if you would like too, of course!
God bless you
