Man, I was married for a decade, together for longer, and I was absolutely devastated.

But I don't want to strip women (or other people) of rights and start a genocide.

Theres something else far more wrong with them, and I think it involves money

There's also that they don't have to deal with the 'women are emotional' trope, so in general, there's always going to be another assumption. The only extremely famous woman I can think of on roughly this level is J.K. Rowling, and hers wasn't divorce driven.

Aside from her obvious divorce from reality 🥁

I've often wondered what sent J.K. down the path she's on. I get that it becomes a self-reinforcing cycle at dinner point, but something must've happened.

Basically I'm looking for her "Pedo guy mini sub" moment if it exists.

Her views are more or less bog-standard 2nd wave trans-exclusionary radical feminist. Which would have been the common variety of such when she was college aged. She just didn't move on to be 3rd wave or intersectional as the dominant flavor changed.

Also she is apparently a "Blairite" which im going to assume is the British equivalent of a Clinton style liberal still stufk in the 90s. Also extreme wealth when not tempered with constructive hobbies tends to be very corrosive to ones mind and morality.
