Working women more likely to divorce

Women working full-time are 29 per cent more likely to get divorced than those who stay at home and raise children.

Research to be published this week in the European Sociological Review finds that the probability of divorce is in direct correlation to the number of hours a woman worked.

Marilyn Stowe, a female divorce lawyer, suggested that working women had the economic freedom to consider life beyond marriage.

She added that they had greater confidence in their ability to make new friends and find new partners. "You suggest going out to work to a woman who has been at home for 15 years and their response is often that of horror," she said. With both partners increasingly going out to work, the findings go some way to explain the country's rising divorce rate.

You have to put extra effort into your marriage when you work outside of the home. Both are tired at the end of the day. Resentment can build up. There is also a trap. Oh yeah, we are making all this money. Big new house, new cars etc and suddenly the main reason most couples fight. Not enough money and too many bills.

"A recent YouGov poll found that divorce made most adults involved happier than they were before, women even more so than men."

Since feminists don't procreate well, if at all, and are more likely to kill their offspring, they have to recruit to maintain their ranks. Feminists recruit in the only way they can, with deceptions.

The feminist recruitment strategy of choice is contrived polls, designed to create opinions, not to reflect them. They hope to dupe women into their destructive lifestyle, from which there is usually no return. Life is not a rehearsal, you don't often get a second chance.

Feminism is an intellectually and morally bankrupt ideology. It is the bastard daughter of Marxism. If one replaces Marxism's doctrine of class warfare, with that of gender, you have feminism.

But feminism is in its last days. It will die with the Liberal MSM, without which, it would have never had taken hold of so many and destroyed so much.

oh. This article tells me that the Feminists and Democrats plan on having (again) "taxpayer subsidized daycare" on their election platform.

She is, however, much less likely to be equipped to support herself and her children, and is therefore much less likely to to leave even if she very much wants to. Ever notice that men who are chronically drunk, violent, unemployed, etc. tend to have stay-at-home wives? Women who are capable of supporting themselves will usually take a hike from a loser husband, while women who aren't are much more likely to stay. Statistics in studies of this sort tend to be heavily skewed by the activities of the dysfunctional classes.

Divorce should not happen if we learn from our partner and help our partner in our trials.I know there are times for divorce.If you don't learn in this marriage, what chance do we have with the next one.

No, actually, I think that such loser men often have women partners who do work (not in high status jobs) to bring necessary money into the household.
