@HWohmahn@SeptimusSulla@kkriztinaa@playspoemsprose@Gaea56998567 "[W]hen the wife earns more than the husband, the likelihood of divorce increases by about 6[%]… [and s]ince 12[%] of couples in the sample get divorced, this … implies that having the wife earn more than the husband increases the likelihood of divorce by 50[%]" (Id., 602).
@HWohmahn@SeptimusSulla@kkriztinaa@playspoemsprose@Gaea56998567 These are women choosing to work less than their male counterparts in relationships and the men in those relationships face divorce if those men do not perform enough paid work. However, this trend exists outside of married relationships in the wider soiciety, unfortunately.
Women care for and help household members 2.08 more hours per day than men in the most extreme case presented by Table 8A, but men work 6.43 hours more per day than women.
@HWohmahn@SeptimusSulla@kkriztinaa@playspoemsprose@Gaea56998567@BLS_gov@pewresearch Similarly, comparing the men from Table 8B to the women from Table 8C (where the youngest child is under 6), women do household activities for 1.91 more hours per day than men in the most extreme case presented by Table 8A, but, again, men work 6.43 hours more per day than women.
@HWohmahn@SeptimusSulla@kkriztinaa@playspoemsprose@Gaea56998567@BLS_gov@pewresearch Maybe women are forced to stay home with their kids and that causes the gap. If true, women with no kids should be working the same amount as men in the workforce as there is no reason not to since there is no reason to be on call and no extra household or child care duties.
@HWohmahn@SeptimusSulla@kkriztinaa@playspoemsprose@Gaea56998567@BLS_gov@pewresearch Whether you consider all currently childless folks (Table 8A) or just the ones working (Table 8B), women spend less time on paid labor and related activities and women spend less time working considering both unpaid domestic labor and paid labor added together. The pattern holds.
@LexyTopping writes "[m]en should work less and their employers and the government should help them to do so in order to close the gender pay gap" (google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…).
@Firebird_psych@Gaea56998567@SimoneMesk@claudius_cruz@sarah__lenard@bairdjulia@smh@theage "Research showing that women commit high rates of intimate partner violence … against men has been controversial because [intimate partner violence] is typically framed as caused by the patriarchal construction of society and men’s domination over women" (Supra, p. 36).
@TheMightyV24@GretaAurora@SeagerMJ You cite _Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide_. The figures in that work of "[w]omen and girls are killed specifically because of their gender." includes sex-selective abortion (nytimes.com/2009/09/08/boo…).
@TheMightyV24@GretaAurora@SeagerMJ There is a compelling reason for those sex-selective abortions: survival of the parents in old age. Boys are future Social Security cheques.
“The Chinese traditionally have valued sons over daughters, depending on their sons to support them in old age” (jstor.org/stable/189961?…).
@TheMightyV24@GretaAurora@SeagerMJ “Sons are permanent members of their natal families and retain life-time contractual relationships with their parents. Throughout their lives, they are expected to contribute to the economic well-being of their parents” (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…).
In general, men (regardless of age) seem to have a preference for women in their young 20s (advances.sciencemag.org/content/advanc…, p. 2) so it is not surprising that women in their 40s would find it difficult to find men who are attracted to them.
@therealmissjo When men reach their peak earnings, men can afford to start a family. Men need to outearn their wives for stable relationships, unfortunately.
@therealmissjo The problem is, in part, that men have to develop high enough steady earnings to date who they want and have a stable relationship with that woman.
Please support the Stop the Wait Act (H.R.4386) to eliminate the 5-month waiting period that now applies to the payment of certain Social Security Disability Insurance benefits for workers and surviving spouses

The marriage equality described in this tweet happened once for homosexual couples and homosexual rights advocates took it away and I don’t see it ever coming back for anyone ever again.
Supplemental Security Income is welfare and I don’t see how the justification to the average working person is going to be made that said working person should pay welfare to a family making 6 figures which regularly happened when this was last tried.
Under the presidencies of William Jefferson Clinton; George W. Bush; and Barack Hussein Obama, II; a fair amount of antihomosexual bigotry fueled the passage of The Defense of Marriage Act (1 U.S.C. § 7; 28 U.S.C. § 1738C; 110 Stat. 2419; Pub.L. 104–199; govinfo.gov/.../PLAW.../pd…).
@heatherpeno I never said I knew more or less than you.
I have asked you for citations to support your assertions and to explain the relevance of some of your assertions, both of which you have demonstrated incapable of doing.
Maybe you are just incapable?
@heatherpeno ...and @heatherpeno blocks conceding and demonstrating that she cannot support her assertions or explain the relevance of some of her assertions to the original conversation (
