It's seriously over for Reese and Ryan. She has filed for divorce from Ryan Phillippe. Since they had no prenup he's entitled to half of her earned money. She's asking the judge to block any attempt on Ryan's part to seek spousal support. As we all know, she's made significantly more money since they've been married. She's earning $10-20 million on films and i think he got paid somewhere in the vicinity of $300K.
Wouldn't you think that a true man wouldn't want any of her money? Is it a double standard that we accept women taking half a man's money but balk at the thought of a man doing the same? Personally, I think it stems from the fact that most women who seek spousal support are stay-at-home wives/moms. They have no job skills or haven't been on the job market in years. Plus they probably want to continue to stay at home with their children. But we assume that men can always find work, or have been working and should continue to do so. AND we often assume that it is the man's fault that they're divorcing in the first place and so why should he get anything.
Share your thoughts please.
