Traditionally "Men get the short end of the stick" because in "traditional" marriages men are the greater bread-winner.
Women's roles as housemaker and child rearer have a value that the court recognizes and they are compensated accordingly... Some men think this is a rip-off because they worked hard for their money and posessions and all the woman did was sit at home...
As for same sex divorce... I would expect it would play out like any seperation without a prenuptual... 50/50 split of the assets.
I was thinking the same thing about the speed of the seperation, 5 days, and how this might be used against the cause... In the end, there are a lot of straight couples who do the same. If anything this just underscores that Same Sex Marriages are no different than Straight Marriages...
People are the same wherever you go.
