Women initiate divorce in America at a rate of 70%. Recent studys shows that the rate goes up to 90%, when the woman is educated with a college degree of some sort. When i read that information a few months back, i stepped back, and reexamined the married couples ive known throughout my life. The educated high earning women, that were married or in a relationship, had difficulty in them, or either eventually divorced.
The marriages that survived, those women somewhat controlled the relationship, and the husband or boyfriend was soft, or docile. So the man didn't really have power in the relationship, in comparison to the woman. This is why when a woman earns alot of money, it's hard for her to even find a man, that she will respect. That's when she out earns her man.
On the flipside, whenever these women try to find a man who out earn her, it doesn't work out the majority of the time. Because those specific types of men, don't want to be consistently challenged or ish tested alot. What's so cold about this topic, is that the educated women that ive grown up around, are either divorced, single, or with a man that she can run and control.
It's so crazy, i know a couple of highly educated chicks dating prisoners, or just straight up low lives. Then the men who are on their level, are dating or marrying women, who docile, not as educated, or from a different country, who haven't been westernized yet.
Ive seen two educated people who have had long successful marriages, but those couples were way older, and of different cultures and races. They were Caucasians, Indians, and asians. When it comes to our race/culture, it doesn't look good when it comes to the marriage rate going forward in the future.
Because at this point, it's all about power and control. It's also about competition and sizing each other up, once you first meet while dating. Also, marriage was built on a foundation that's similar to business, so alot of people are marrying for the wrong reasons nowadays.
Just look at the stats on American marriages. 50% of all marriages will eventually end in divorce, which are initiated by 70% of all married women. Those rates go up to 90% if the woman is college educated. You would have to be out of your mind to get married in the States, if you have something to lose as a man.
That's like sticking your hand in a bowl of poisoned candy, with a 50% percent rate of you eating the poisoned candy in the bowl. I've seen couples in their 50,s and 60,s recently get divorced.
Alot of people are following an old construct, when it comes to marriages. The majority of married couples i know right now, aren't genuinely happy with each other.
They're just tolerating each other, because if the time and money that's been invested into it.
Nothing new under the Sun.
It has been like this for over 50 years:
Things began to flip around 1965 after women entered the workforce (Civil Rights Act (1964), "War on Poverty" (1964), Affirmative Action (1965), and No-Fault Divorce (1969).
Supply and demand.
The more laborers in the workforce = the less labor is worth.
1971 - The US abandoned the Gold Standard (Federal Reserve can now print unlimited money).
Inflation goes higher.
1973 = Abortion is legalized.
Even more women enter the workforce.
Inflation goes higher.
In the backdrop - under the "War on Poverty" welfare began to serve as a substitute for a husband in the home, eroding marriages among lower-income folks.
Housing under these programs required that no adult male take residence meaning no husbands or fathers were allowed in the State-provided homes.
Add on the shift from industry (blue collar, factory, manufacturing, de-unionization, deregulation, etc.) to "the information age"/technology...
Who do these things affect the most?
Black Men
Today, over half of Black men in the United States are single and childless and the numbers are going up not down.
Globally, even w/o US Government intervention...
When nations ran on agriculture = extended families (grandmother, grandfather, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc.)
When nations ran on industry = nuclear families (mother, father, children)
When nations run on technology = single-parent or no families at all
The average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime --
fell from 4.84 in 1950 to 2.23 in 2021 and will continue to drop to 1.59 by 2100
How does the number of children vary across the world and over time? What is driving the rapid global change?

Almost 90% of the world's population now live in countries with falling marriage rates.
All around the world, the number of people staying single has been growing. People who do marry are getting to it later, and then divorcing in greater numbers than in 1990.

Nature is undefeated.
It will adjust to the environment, biology, and culture, that we create.
It is in a woman's DNA/Biology to prioritize her survival and men have created a world for her to do so without us.
Works for me because I'm getting more access to sex than I ever had in my younger days and I don't have to worry about divorce or child support.
The way these courts are set up, as soon as a modern woman asks me about marriage/kids:
