Alexis on men

When I heard that Guy Ritchie refused a cut of Madonna's fortune at the end of their marriage - even though, under the law, he could argue for half of whatever she had - I gave a tiny cheer.
I had last seen the couple several months ago dining tête à tête at the Wolseley, London's most fashionable restaurant, when rumours of the divorce abounded. But they looked quite happy, I thought.
Even though Madonna has zillions, I didn't think she should give half to Guy - she made it all herself, as I did my money. Working since I was 17, I have never asked for or received money from any of my five husbands or my partners, other than child support.

despise men who think they deserve money from a woman.
The material gal did not marry a material guy - lucky for her - and he's showing a great example to other men who greedily demand money and property from their wealthier exes. After all, who should know better about this than me?
I have been caught in the 'gimme-the-money' trap with ex-husbands and boyfriends more times than I care to remember.
I've thought that the men in question were pathetic gold-diggers, because I was brought up to believe that men should take care of their women - although those ideals are quite old-fashioned by today's standards.
The fact is, nowadays, countless married and co-habiting women make more money than their partners and are more successful, yet most manage to make their partnership work.
Certainly, Guy Ritchie, in eschewing Madonna's fortune and instead wanting only as much time with his sons as possible, has become a hero to many of my female friends, who have been heaping praise upon his altruistic and masculine attitude.
'He'll have women lining up outside his front door...
