Again, I never said to stop venting. I said to stop diminishing the value of unpaid labor.

Whether OP was referring to alimony or assets. It doesn't matter. It's the same general sentiment the vast majority of people have over divorce, which is that the party performing unpaid labor doesn't deserve to be compensated.

To dismiss this is as a non-issue is incredibly invalidating to people who have suffered as a result of unpaid labor ruining their career and livelihoods. This rhetoric of divorcees who were not holding a job deserves nothing is exactly the stigma that spouses performing domestic labor is subjected to, and what encourages people to attack divorcees over.

Telling people that this isn't a real problem is not only unhealthy, but actively perpetuates the stigma against domestic laborers are their perceived 'lack of contribution' to the economy when the truth is that world runs on the backs of unpaid labor.
