Phil, Thanks for the welcome. At your suggestion I did read over the previous 50 pages and yes it not so easy. I do believe, however, that this issue, unlike global warming or Middle East conflicts, can be solved by thought experiments, intellectual rigor and some creativity.
Your observation about the disparity of women is probably true, but a box we dare not open.
“Despite gains by women, they are not on an equal footing with men when it comes to negotiating marital contracts. That might offend some, but I saw thousands of examples of the disparity.”
Even for an experienced lawyer as yourself, I would think that the argument that marriage laws are needed to protect weak women will be a tough sell. First it will alienate all the women and second such protection is not needed for same sex marriage since it is either two men or two women.
But yes I agree with 100% that we should teach finance and law in high school. It is more important than calculus.
