Nov 29, 2012 at 1:05 comment added user5341 @AndrewGrimm- Something involving "Pray". 3 words. And no, given the current political/judicial climate (no-fault divorces, custody "mother first" rules, 50/50 splits and other stuff), it's more advantageous for a woman to marry, then divorce, then get disproportionate amount of divorce procedings, than to not marry at all.

Nov 28, 2012 at 23:55 comment added user5341 @AndrewGrimm - you are making an assumption that most divorces are cause by "bad marriages" as opposed to "Why should I bother with the ball and chain" thinking that is fully independent of marriage quality (See the recent Julia Roberts movie for a famous cultural example)
Oct 17, 2012 at 9:03 comment added Golden Cuy I'd be curious as to whether women who do most of the housework are either unemployed or in low-paid employment, and thus less capable of financial independence, and therefore more likely to put up with a bad marriage.
Oct 17, 2012 at 7:19 comment added Sklivvz More likely than not, people who strongly advocate traditional lifelong marriages also advocate traditional gender split of the housework (I.e. all woman!)

Oct 16, 2012 at 16:40 comment added Oddthinking First step is normally finding the original report. Normally it only takes a few minutes. This time I failed, but at least I found someone else a professional journalist who also failed to find the report.
Oct 16, 2012 at 14:50 comment added vartec @Yannis: another possible explanation is that women who demand equality are also way more assertive when filing for divorce.
Oct 16, 2012 at 14:48 comment added vartec correlation is not causation.
Oct 16, 2012 at 13:07 comment added user1873 I am not sure that a scientific study could confirm or deny that, sounds like motivation. What makes you think women are equal or that men think housework is beneath them? Why do you think women don't find housework beneath them?
