@HallAnderson14@hollowlegs@threadreaderapp@StoneyGuardian@Pegster69@EoinPoil "[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., 25).
@RyanWokeFather With respect to the Equal Rights Amendment, I am okay with either the Lucretia Mott Equal Rights Amendment formulation or the Alice Paul Equal Rights Amendment formulation (both actually written by Alice Paul) so long as the Hayden rider is excluded.
@RyanWokeFather The Lucretia Mott Equal Rights Amendment formulation reads: "[m]en and women shall have equal rights throughout the United States and every place subject to its jurisdiction" (history.hanover.edu/courses/excerp…).
@RyanWokeFather The Alice Paul Equal Rights Amendment formulation reads: "[e]quality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex" (history.hanover.edu/courses/excerp…).
@LunarRoot@NeuroRebel It seems you have been citing figures from a country (🇬🇧) that doesn't believe that it is rape for a woman to initiate sex with a man who doesn't consent to that sex. Needless to say that your figures are likely biased and, in some sense, false.
@LunarRoot@NeuroRebel Consider "Intimate terrorism by women towards men: does it exist?" by Denise A. Hines and Emily M. Douglas published in July 2010 in Volume 2, Issue 3, of the _Journal of Aggression, Conflict and Peace Research_ (available at www2.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines…).
@LunarRoot@NeuroRebel "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).
Let's check the data to see how privileged men are.
You may find that it's women who aren't "allowing [men] to express their experiences without trying to shout over them" (archive.ph/wexCf).
@jackruamusic Consider “The Sexual Victimization of Men in America: New Data Challenge Old Assumptions” by feminist Lara Stemple and epidemiologist Ilan H. Meyer published in 2014 in the _American Journal of Public Health_, volume 104, issue 6, on pages e19–e26 (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…).
@jackruamusic "[F]ederal surveys detect a high prevalence of sexual victimization among men—in many circumstances similar to the prevalence found among women."
@HolstaT There are academic studies that don't support your contention, @HolstaT, that "the vast majority of domestic violence is committed by men towards women" (archive.ph/k3yNE), but rather suggest that women abuse more than men.
Let's look at those studies, shall we?
@HolstaT With physical aggression, "studies consistently find that as many women self-report perpetrating this behavior as do men; some studies find a higher prevalence of physical aggression committed by women" (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…, p. 2), but only a minority of women are arrested.
@HolstaT Notes @TheJusticeDept: "[w]ife defendants had a lower conviction rate than husband defendants…. Of the 222 wife defendants, 70% were convicted of killing their mate. By contrast, of the 318 husband defendants, 87% were convicted of spouse murder" (bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…, p. 2).
