Since you are asking arethestraightsokay? Here's something else that is quite interesting to me and may help you better understand the dynamics at play. The divorce rate for gay men is lower than straight couples but the divorce rates for lesbian women is much higher[0]. This is in line with a majority of divorces being filed by women[1]. Similarly systemic bias plays a role in divorce proceedings in favor of women, for example until recently in many states, it was the presumption that children under four should live with the mother[2] regardless of her fitness as one, this bias statistically continues to this day, even in places where the tender years doctrine has been abolished.

There is a great movie called Divorce Corp that goes into more detail than I can here but it's shocking how "old school" the thinking of family courts is as well as the systems around them.
