11. "post-divorce serfdom to an ill-tempered, overweight woman with a legal obligation to children who
may not even belong to him?"

Words fail. And wouldn't this scenario be LESS likely with a career woman? As in:

Career women have their own means of support so are less likely to be awarded alimony by a judge.
A man has a legal obligation to his children whether he is married or divorced. If his wife or former wife has an income, the financial cost of the children is less on the man.
As far as I know there is no evidence that career women is any more likely to have a child by a man other than her husband than a stay at home mom. This is basically a slander on career women as in "career women are more slutty."

And the "overweight" part is plain old misogyny, as is the rest of course.
