That’s why divorce is so fucked in the US. Because everyone who “helps” you through it is financially invested in it being as long and drawn out as possible.

Forget it, dude; it’s Chinatown.

since she hasn’t presently chimed in

Because they are trying to look as Aryan as possible and would chug bleach if it would get them there?

S o, this probably actually happened, Gates has told the story in other venues (I think in Davis and maybe TED?). It is totally in line with the Gates foundation to empower women in other parts of the world.
