Are men really more likely to leave their wives when they become chronically ill or disabled ?

-

One of the, many, arguments a misandrist will say, to show men as awful, is that they are statistically more likely to leave their wives if the wife becomes chronically ill, or disabled, and he is expected to be the caretaker. 

This is following a study in 2015 which tracked 2,701 marriages and found that the onset of a wfe's illness is more likely associated with an elevated risk of divorce.

So yes, men, the swine, are more likely to leave a sick wife than a wife is to leave a sick man.

As always though, these things are not quite as cut and dry as the average, angry, feminist would have you believe. They point to it as another form of misogyny and how women are constantly held back by patriachy and, as per usual, awful, horrible, men.

The thing is even getting to that point where a marriage has lasted long enough for illness onset in later life is incredibly rare. Sadly 42% of marriages, in the UK, end in divorce.The courts usually award child custody to the mother, fathers loose out, and so there are many children growing up in single mother households. Statistics show that these children, without a full time father figure, can grow up with multiple problems: drug use, criminal activity leading to incarceration but to name a few.

The thing is that divorce is overwhelmingly initiated by the wife, in around 70% of cases. This is why lesbian marriages ending in divorce is double gay or hetero marriages. As soon as you add a woman into a relationship it's more likely to end. Add two women and the chances of it ending are significantly increased.

And the elevated risk of a man bailing on a sick wife ? 6%. That's 1/10th the chance of a woman bailing on the man. A wife needs to get chronically ill ELEVEN TIMES before he catches up with the chances of her leaving him.

The truth is ? Yes there's an elevated risk but it's unlikely to happen because the woman has usually bailed on the man long before she gets to the point of being ill.

How far modern feminism has fallen from it's wonderful beginnings

I was recently walking around London and came across a statue, I've often walked passed on Charing Cross road near Leicester Square. The statue is of Edith Cavell somebody I know little about. Edith Cavell was a nurse during World War 1 who was celebrated for treating injured soldiers on both sides of the conflict without discrimination. She was fiercely brave and helped 200 servicemen escape occupied Belgium and return to Britain. She was caught by the Germans and executed for failing to observe medical neutrality. The night before her execution this brave woman said "Patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone". This is 180 dgerees opposite to the toxic feminism that we currently see in any female space. The absolute glee which fourth wave feminists seem to take in active, bigotred, transphobia is completely unsuprising when you see how sexist & prejudiced modern feminism has become. In my view, it is no longer about equal rights. It...

The myth of women doing the majority of housework

-

This is often trotted out in female spaces with depressing regularity. You can see it here , here and here  and any search of any feminist space will bring out the "Men expect women to do all the housework" trope. There are even studies on this which, on the surface, would seem to confirm that women do more housework than men.  Digging into these studies and it becomes quickly apparent they are extremely skewed and don't provide a very thorough picture. Measuring all household work There are two main methods used to measure household work done. The first is a survey, where you simply ask what chores people do, assign time to them and from that you find who is doing the most. This has the benefit that it's less intrusive, you can do a 30min survey and get your data, but you lack accuracy. A more intrusive, but more accurate method, is to keep a time diary. That is people note down what they are doing and from that you tot up the time on housework. The problem with th...

The oppressed can't be the oppresor - why feminists accept sexism in their spaces

-

In any feminist space you will find misandry, quickly and easily. Whenever feminists are asked about the sexism in their spaces, or movement, they generally reply by disputing that misandry exists, minimising it's effects or with whatboutism stating that male misogyny effects women far worse. The huge problem with this is that feminism has already accepted sexism at it's core. It sees sexism everywhere and because of this has now accepted sexism.Misandric comments, ideas, man hating are all  absolutely rife in feminist spaces . Claiming that misandry is fine because the oppressed can never be the oppressor is not borne out by history which tells us a very, very different story. Oppressed people, who accept prejudice to their oppresor have a strong tradition of repeating their oppression in an even worse way. If you look at the actions of Israel in Palestine then you can see, very clearly, how an oppressed people (the Jews in World War 2) really are very, very capable of being ...
