Why does economy matter?
How did the discussion go from rape (Violent assault on another human being) to economic matters?
So the woman has equal access to the mans money. What has that got to do with rape? Rape is not about access to another persons body (and frankly I find it sickening that someone would reduce a human beings worth to economic worth). Rape is about power and is a violent assualt even when no violence is used.
Another thing - I do not know the law in the US - but in Denmark both spoouses have equal access. by this discussion it would seem as if the female has full access to the males money but not the other way around? is that so? Likewise in the case of divorce. In Denmark the party making the most money can be forced to pay alimoney (spelling?) to the other party - it is not about women getting the mans money.
So only in the cases where the man has more money going in to the marriage, or earn more money is it an issue that women have access to the mans money!
In a divorce both the husband and the wifes assets are taken into account!
That men make more money than women on average is an issues that shouldnt factor in to this.

Re: Why does economy matter?
Thanks for the reply.
ITs just I can't quite get into my head what shared property in a marriage has to do with assault.
When you marry both partys know (or should know) that you will share your assets. If the man makes more money, or has more assets to begin with - it is his choice to marry. If the woman makes more money or has more assets, then it still her choice to marry.
So by the strange reasoning applied by some it would seem that it would be the man or the womans choice to be assaulted with no regress to law after marriage? This is sick!
(How was it put - a man should have full access to his wifes body just like she has access to his money?)
