It's called "hypergamy". Look into it...Women are overwhelmingly the initiator of divorce. Nice try though...Ya know in another forum this crazy libtard woman poster told me with a straight face, liberals have not promoted single motherhood the past 40 plus years..
They haven't "promoted" anything of the kind nor does that commercial promote single motherhood. It promotes the idea that cars aren't just for boys. My granddaughter, who just turned 2 has the best collection of Hot Wheels ever.
Getting back to your original idea that liberals have "promoted" single motherhood, that's not true at all. They have simply said that there are all kinds of families, and that those of us who are raised by single mothers aren't to be looked down on because of it.
My father died when I was eleven. What was my mother supposed to do? Maybe she should have gone out bar hopping for a new husband so I would have a two parent family like my friend's mother. Her stepdad tried to rape her when she was 13.
The divorce rate in North America is over 50%. That means that most kids are being raised by single parents at some point. Maybe if men took being married more seriously, and didn't walk out on their wives and children, there'd be fewer single mothers for you to rag on about.
Link?
I can think of several reasons why that might be.
Her husband moved out but he owns the house, her car, and has control of their assets. He still controls her life as long as they are merely separated. Many credit card companies and lenders won't grant a married woman credit in her own name unless her husband signs. So she's hamstrung.
The husband has all of the advantages here. He gets to be a single guy, date other women, but he doesn't lose half of everything he owns. I know a couple who have been separated for 30 years. He's rich and doesn't want to give her half. Or the lawyers any.
Often the wife wants to remarry, but can't without a divorce. The husband wants to remain married because then his girlfriend can't pressure him into marriage if he isn't divorced.
As with most things, the power is with the man. He doesn't file for divorce for the reasons outlined above. So wives do the filing, but its men who do the leaving.
