It’s infuriating to listen to people talk about lack of divorce (in certain cultures, times, etc) thinking it means a successful marriage.
Many states will not allow a divorce if the woman is pregnant, it’s a twisted cycle of abuse and control.
A study recently published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons found that states that restricted abortion access from 2018 to 2020 had a 75 percent higher rate of peripartum homicide — people who were killed while pregnant or in their first year after giving birth — than states without restrictions. The same trend did not hold in homicide rates for men.
Just like the pieces of shit that rail about “No fault divroce destroying the family”, Restrictions on the bodily autonmy of women leads only to death and misery, I refuse to call those people “pro-life” or “pro-family”, they are simply anti-womens rights.
Probably lowered the rate of dudes “accidentally” ingesting arsenic in their coffee too.
I was reading a book where people anonymously share confessions. And one was about a person who worked at a Hospice providing care. They shared a lot of old women, on their last days, would confess to murdering their husbands.
There’s an ancient Greek story about a city where young women were killing themselves at an alarming rate, and the city eventually enacted a law where if a woman killed herself the body would be paraded through the streets naked before burial. After that law, the suicides dramatically went down.
The misogynistic interpretation of the author recording the story was that women were ashamed at the thought of being seen naked, even after death, and so this curbed the suicides.
My own interpretation is that it’s hard to hide bruises on a naked body.
No one should be trapped in a situation where they feel the only option out is suicide.
My own interpretation is that it’s hard to hide bruises on a naked body.
Considering that the ancient Greeks literally allowed men to murder their wives under certain conditions, I’d say that seeing bruises on a woman’s body would elicit no outcry amongst them.
Also… fuck ancient Greece. And fuck the Roman empire, too.
I was curious so I did a tiny amount of research and as it turns out, you’re pretty much in line with the data.
Information on ancient Greeks beating their wives is pretty sparse and what little we have suggests that it was so common that it barely deserved mention.
Beat their wives, fucked their kids, and gave rise to the society we’ve inherited today.
Persia should have one at Thermopylae
What do you mean “fuck them”, they don’t exist any more…
But idiots who romanticize and glamorize them are.
Were there laws allowing wives to murder their husbands under certain conditions?
None that I’ve heard of.
Yeah this was more about the dudes not wanting anyone to see their women naked…dead or not.
Christ, that’s so horrific to consider, all around.
Probably saw a decline in husband mysterious deaths too ^^
I mean, yeah. It would be harder to track, but desperate people do desperate things when the law makes it hard to leave.
Don’t tell that to your local conservative party…
Or do, they don’t care
Women suffering is a feature for them, not a bug
Just say it would be ashame if suddenly men are having accidents more often. “officer I had no idea why he didnt turn the electricity off before working” Bet they counter harder by removing women having bank accounts without men and only males can inherent. Back to the good old days. Though that only delays accidents until you have a son.
Just female suicide rate? I’d like to know the difference in married women rates. The difference in rate should be even bigger.
And people hound me about how I’ll die with cats and desperately regret not having a man to wash smelly socks for.
Marriage is psychological adrenalectomy.
Idk, I usually wash my wives dirty socks more often than she washes mine I’m pretty sure
My wife washes I hang and fold. team work makes for more sexy time…
Laundry is irrelevant if it’s on the first floor. I’ll do everyone’s but they gotta fold
Laundry is irrelevant if it’s on the first floor.
Can you explain this?
This is a new rule that I want to add in my household. Like proximity based cleaning, rather than running to teach kids room to grab their dirty clothes.
Cats are cool and so are you. Whatever works for you is the correct decision!
Ok, boomer
Millennial not boomer.
I had no idea there states that if you’re female you can’t get a divorce without consent. That’s insane. I’m going guess they’re all red states since they’re big on not respecting women.
Why would the socialists oppose women’s right to choose?
In US. politics, red refers to places with a (usually large) majority of Republican voters.
