I agree that most aspects of Sharia are pretty ridiculous for this day and age, but I'm sure some Muslims might think the same about telling a Roman Catholic priest (who apparently has a pretty good chance of being a pedophile) that you cheated on your wife but you're really sorry will absolve you of the sin. For us to debate how Islam governs divorce when we have the just about the highest divorce rate on the planet is a bit silly. I've been divorced once, and anyone who's been through one will tell you that "I divorce you (x3)" is MUCH easier than the way we do it. From a human rights standpoint, yeah it's not fair to the woman since she can't initiate the divorce in the same way. Give them that right and it's all good.
Like I always say: Religions are like farts. Your own is okay but everyone else's stink.
