I wonder what the chances are of the US adopting electronic divorces such as those that are legal in Saudi Arabia? If we only hadn't given women the vote (sigh).

Well, not all of us Hepburn. The system wouldn't work if we could all do that, but if it was a system just for men I see no major problems.
Islamic Sharia law stipulates a man can divorce his wife by either speaking or writing the words ``I divorce you'' three times, if certain conditions are met. If he utters the sentence only twice, he can alter his decision within three months.

Well, alright then! The woman should have the option of saying "In your dreams, pay up then, I'll think about it" three times. If she only says it TWO times, then she also can change her mind
Nonsense, I believe women should have the vote, I think that vote should count. I don't think it should count as much as man's vote, but I'm sure some agreement could be reached. Maybe a 3 to 1 or even a 2 to 1 ratio would be acceptable to most reasonable men.
I think women should be heard and listened to (to a degree.) I'm glad that AW doesn't discriminate allowing only the post of men to appear. I have suggested to the moderators that some sort of font difference be implemented so those voices could be linked to the gender when serious topics are discussed. Here's a sample of two fonts I proposed for the different genders. The men's font on top and women on bottom.
The idea was met with the a lot of enthusiasm by the AW administrators but it seems software limitations are a problem at present. Maybe in the future, we can only hope.
