I am a female and really believe in equal rights so i don't see anything wrong with the guy asking for spousal support. If you want equal rights for men and women it has to be equal on BOTH sides, and if that includes the guy getting spousal support or the wife having to support the husband finacially that's FINE with me.
You can't be for equal rights and then expect the guy to always pay for you or support you financially. That's why I always support myself and pay my own way. Since I believe in equal rights I don't expect any guy to pay for me, it should be EXACTLY 50/50, that's only fair. You can't move ahead if you always "play the victim" and expect the guy to pay, just because he's the guy, because if you do that, then your indirectly saying that he has more power and is more dominant.
There should be NO double standards whatsoever. Whoever makes more should pay, especially if the money was made during the marriage, and I hope women make more and pay up spousal support to show the men that we don't need their money!
I think its sexist to think that women shouldnt pay spousal support. Why shouldn't we? IF we want equal rights we should pay spousal support too. It sucks, but it's only fair that way.
