She got the goldmine, I got the shaft

I don't remember the name of the artist nor the name of the songe but the title contains some of the lyrics from it. It went on something like this:

She got the goldmine
I got the shaft.
They split it right down the middle
then they give her the better half

Other lyrics include stuff like:

While I'm working 2 shifts and eating baloney
she's living like a queen on alimony

All in all it is a pretty funny song but it also speaks well to one of the holes in the "patriarchy" theory. Divorces are notorious for their extremely heavy tilt towards the woman's "side". Alimony, child support (paying for the raising of someone you have little or no say in how that raising is done and your rights are anywhere from none in some extreme cases to at best very few), etc. The financial damage from a divorce lasts for years and is typically exceeded only by the emotional damage.

Well, someone finally took a stand. He knew the divorce was coming. He knew he would be fortunate to get half and if he got it then it was unlikely to be the "good" half. So he did what any reasonable homeowning about to be divorcee would do...he chainsawed the house in half and moved his half onto his brothers property.

I am not sure whether to laugh, cry, curse or cheer the dude...but hey, at least he made a stand.
