@Oneiorosgrip @nyktofil @HoldenNorgorov @RyanWokeFather @thedreamjunkie @PerhapsABot @ElocinTrail @BLS_gov @pewresearch @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @LexyTopping @IPPR Consider "Money, Work, and Marital Stability: Assessing Change in the Gendered Determinants of Divorce" by Alexandra Killewald, which states that the "husbands’ lack of full-time employment remains associated with marital instability" (asanet.org/sites/default/…, p. 717).

@Oneiorosgrip @nyktofil @HoldenNorgorov @RyanWokeFather @thedreamjunkie @PerhapsABot @ElocinTrail @BLS_gov @pewresearch @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @LexyTopping @IPPR Moreover, "fulfillment of the male-breadwinner role appears to be equally or more strongly associated with marital stability in more recent marriage cohorts" (asanet.org/sites/default/…, p. 717).

@Oneiorosgrip @nyktofil @HoldenNorgorov @RyanWokeFather @thedreamjunkie @PerhapsABot @ElocinTrail @BLS_gov @pewresearch @TIME @usnews @PolitiFact @PunditFact @LexyTopping @IPPR However, "[w]hen all marriage cohorts are pooled, wives’ full-time employment is positively and statistically significantly associated with the risk of divorce" (asanet.org/sites/default/…, p. 716).

This finding correlates with other research.

Consider that women initiate over 50% of the breakups and nearly 70% of the divorces (web.stanford.edu/~mrosenfe/Rose…, fig. 1, p. 34).

Silverstein and Kate Sayre, in @HarvardBiz, note that women's "$13 trillion in total yearly earnings could reach $18 trillion in the same period" (hbr.org/2009/09/the-fe…). If you do the math, you might note that women are obviously spending unearned money.

Silverstein and Kate Sayre state, in @HarvardBiz, simply that "women are the customer" (hbr.org/2009/09/the-fe…).

If men lose their earning power they may find themselves without marriage prospects or divorced (if already married).

Makes you wonder who is privileged.
