Sawhill, "Economic Perspectives on the Family," Daedalus, Spring l977, p. ll9: "One of the most dramatic and consistent findings has been the greater prevalence of marriage and the lower probability of divorce where women's wages or labor- market participation are relatively low." Vassar economist Shirley Johnson computes that each additional $1,000 of a woman's earnings increases her likelihood of divorce by two percent. (Quoted by Caroline Bird, The Two-Paycheck Marriage (New York: Rawson, Wade, 1979), p. 13.) Summing up the evidence, Bird concludes: "The more money a woman earns, the less likely she is to be married. The relationship cannot be denied...."

The Feminine Mystique, p. 339. Cf. p. 289: "These mothers have themselves become more infantile, and because they are forced to seek more and more gratification through the child, they are incapable of finally separating themselves from the child. Thus, it would seem, it is the child who supports life in the mother in that 'symbiotic' relationship, and the child is virtually destroyed in the process." It is these destroyed children who have become today's Garbage Generation. Their problem is not so much the mother's infantilism as her power to deprive the children of fathers. Ms. Friedan can think only of Mom, what Mom wants or should want if she is to achieve the "growth" of which she writes so interminably. She says:
By permitting girls to evade tests of reality, and real commitments, in school and the world [by "real" Ms. Friedan means male-style achievement, not mere maternity], by the promise of magical fulfillment through marriage [today read: marriage or promiscuity], the feminine mystique arrests their development at an infantile level, short of personal identity, with an inevitably weak core of self.

With the same age and qualifications, single men have long earned about the same as single women. As early as 1966, a Labor Department study found both earned about the same hourly wages. Single college graduates over age twenty-five earned about the same amount in 1969, whether male or female. Single men currently have median incomes less than l0 percent higher than those of single women, who are alleged to be hobbled by discrimination, even though single men work longer hours and in general tend to use their earnings capacity more. Yet they are 30 percent more likely to be unemployed. "Married men, however, earn some 70 percent more than singles of either sex."

Daniel G. Saunders describes women's economic predicament thus:
Most researchers, including [Murray] Straus, list women's economic entrapment in intimate relationships as one of the reasons to aid battered women more than abused men. [Daniel G. Saunders, "Other 'Truths' about Domestic Violence: A Reply to McNeely and Robinson-Simpson," Social Work, March/April, 1988, p. 180.]
"Economic entrapment" signifies that marriage benefits women economically and therefore entitles them to other one-sided benefits.

This is acknowledged even by investigators as timid as Gelles and Straus, who write that "About one woman in twenty-two (3.8 percent) is the victim of physically abusive violence each year" and that "A little more than forty husbands in one thousand (4.6 percent) were recorded as victims of severe violence" (Richard J.l Gelles and Murray A. Straus, Intimate Violence: The Causes and Consequences of Abuse in the American Family (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1988), p. 104).
This says that there is 21 percent more violence directed against husbands. But what is compared is evidently lesser violence against wives ("physically abusive violence") and greater violence against husbands ("severe violence"); so one must suppose that if the same kind of violence were being compared the wives are more violent than the 21 percent figure suggests. (If this inference is incorrect, Gelles and Straus cannot blame anyone other than themselves.)
The "tendency" of these writers can be inferred from their calling 4.6 percent "a little more than forty in one thousand." "A little less than fifty in one thousand" would be closer to the mathematical truth--but it would deviate from the party line mandated by Slaughtered Saints feminism.
It needs to be understood that books on the subject of domestic violence are read chiefly by feminists and must pass review in the feminist press. A book which departs from the feminist party line will be dead in the water. Gelles and Straus mention their colleague Suzanne Steinmetz's article on "The Battered Husband Syndrome" and indicate that "she was immediately attacked by feminists, social scientists, and a few journalists....Other social scientists who witnessed the abuse heaped on our research group--especially on Suzanne Steinmetz--have given the topic of battered men a wide berth" (pp. 105f.). In other words, feminist clamor frightened them away from saying things that feminists don't want the public to know about, lest women should appear to be something other than blood-drained Slaughtered Saints and men to be something other than ravening beasts.

Estimates differ considerably. U.S. News and World Report, 4 November, 1988 estimated that one million people would be behind bars by 1989. According to the Los Angeles Times of 1 October, 1989, "more than one million citizens are behind prison and jail bars" and another 2.6 million are on probation or parole. The Times article here quoted evidently excludes the jail population.

Two examples: (1) People born around 1950 have a 2,000 percent greater likelihood of experiencing depression by age thirty than people born before 1910 (Los Angeles Times, 9 October, 1988). (2) The suicide rate of white males age l5-24 rose almost 50 percent between 1970 and 1983 (U. S. Bureau of the Census, Statistical Abstract of the United States, 1987, 107th ed., p. 79; cited in The Family in America, October, l988.)

Again and again Ms. Friedan tells her readers to hire a cleaning woman so they can go to law school, medical school or graduate school. One is reminded of the feminist John Stuart Mill's complaint that women should be expected to do "the work of servants," or of the feminist Elizabeth Cady Stanton's complaint that women had to spend so much of their time conversing "with children and servants." It doesn't occur to these elitists that few women have servants.

Greenblatt, and Robert B. Mielke] report that 78 percent of all divorce petitions in California were filed by wives...." P. 147 [quoting attorney Riane Eisler]: "By social convention, the vast majority of divorces were filed by women." P. 174: "In California, in 1968, under the adversary system, over three-quarters of the plaintiffs--those who initiated the legal divorce proceedings--were wives filing charges against 'guilty' husbands." According to David Chambers, Making Fathers Pay (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1979), p. 29, "the wife is the moving party in divorce actions seven times out of eight." According to the Legal Beagle, February, 1986, 72 percent of divorce filings are made by wives. According to Yuanxi Ma, Chinese feminist, about 60 percent of China's divorces are initiated by women (off our backs, April, 1988). According to Joan Kelly, author of Surviving the Breakup, "Divorce is sought about three to one by women" (cited in Joint Custody Newsletter, January, 1988). According to Christopher Lasch, NYRB, l7 February, 1966, three- quarters of divorces are granted to women. According to Elsie Clews Parsons's The Family: An Ethnographical and Historical Outline (New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1906), p. 331, "A large majority of divorces are obtained by women." According to a three- day survey by the County Clerk's Office in Orange County, California, two of every three divorce petitions listed the wife as the plaintiff (Fathers' Forum, August, 1987). According to court records in Marion, Howard, Hancock, Grant and Ruch counties in Indiana in 1985, of 2,033 dissolutions granted, l,599 (76.6%) were filed by wives, 474 (23.3%) were filed by husbands (National Congress for Men Network, Vol. 1, #3).
Where women enjoy greater independence, divorce rates are higher. Marilyn French says (Beyond Power: On Women, Men and Morals (New York: Summit Books, 1985), p. 59: "As in all matrilineal cultures, marriages were easily dissolved." According to Phyllis Chesler (Mothers on Trial: The Battle for Children and Custody (New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company,1986), p. 569: "Divorce is especially rare among those tribes where custody is retained by fathers." According to Lucy Mair, author of Marriage, there is more divorce in matrilineal than in patrilineal societies (cited in Elise Boulding, The Underside of History: A View of Women Through Time (Boulder, Colorado: Westview Press, 1976), p. 145). According to Nicholas Davidson (Gender Issues, May, 1988), "In America today, 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women."
Things have always been thus. Writing nearly two centuries ago, Louis Gabriel Ambroise, Vicomte de Bonald wrote (Du Divorce, Paris, 1818 [original ed., 1801]), p. 144, "Divorce is provoked by wives more often than by husbands; and, according to Madame Necker, "the confederacy of women who call for divorce is extremely numerous." p. 182: "It must not be forgotten that most divorces are provoked by women; which proves that they are weaker or more impassioned, not that they are more unhappy." According to the 4th century writer Servius, the Great Goddess Demeter "execrated marriage," and presided not (as tradition would have us believe) over marriage but over divorce. "The same character," says, Briffault, "appertains to all the Great Goddesses of the Eastern Mediterranean world" (The Mothers (New York: Macmillan and Company, 1927), III, 171).
According to Shere Hite (Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1987), p. 459, "Ninety-one percent of women who have divorced say they made the decision to divorce, not their husbands."

Ibid. The improvement in sexual morality during the Victorian Era, when Gilder imagines it to have been deteriorating, was formerly well known. According to Joseph McCabe's Rationalist Encyclopedia (London: Watts and Co., 1950), p. 306:
In England and Wales the ratio of illegitimate to total births declined from 67 per l,000 in 1841 to 54 per 1,000 in 1871-80, and there was not at that time any wide knowledge of contraceptives.

Farazaneh Taidi, Iranian actress, describes her divorce: "However, I think because I did not love my husband--my marriage, as far as I was concerned, was a marriage of convenience--it did not work, I had to get a divorce. Divorce came during the late Shah's regime and despite his Family Protection Courts, divorce meant that I had to separate from my 3 1/2 year old son. Custody of children automatically goes to husbands in Iran. Separation from my child was most hurtful to me." (off our backs, November,

Terry Arendell quotes a divorced mother as follows:
Most men simply have no concept of what we're up against, even when they're single parents and have custody. Men still have this whole troop of women-- mothers, aunts, sisters, friends--to wish them luck and give them household help and child care. And they've got enough money so they can afford to pay for such things if the women around them don't come through.
Another:
It really disgusts me to watch single men who have custody of their children get so much attention. Friends invite them over to dinner. My friends who are couples don't invite me and my children over; they just expect that I can manage. Men have double the income and can afford to pay for all the services they need, but they get treated as if they're wonderful to be doing all this and must be really overloaded. I've never had that kind of support from anyone.
Arendell's comment:
These women felt especially deserted and segregated when they heard frequent cultural messages to the effect that children raised by divorced mothers are likely candidates for delinquency, homosexuality, or abnormal social behavior. Already overburdened with financial and emotional responsibility for their children, they found societal indifference hard enough to tolerate; blanket criticisms based on negative stereotypes outraged them.

This was mentioned by nearly nine out of ten wives, and two-thirds of all the wives put it in first place. The second most-mentioned role of the man of the house was 'father,' which again suggested responsibilities rather than any interpersonal relationships with the 'mother.' In third place in terms of mentions was the man's role as 'husband.' Altogether, somewhat less than half of all the wives thought to mention the man as a husband at all. And only one in eight thought the man's role as husband deserved to be ranked as first in importance. The wives, then, saw the husband primarily as a supplier of income for the home...."
Practically the entire text of Dr. Weitzman's book could be cited as proving the same thing--that women aren't nearly as much interested in men and marriage as in men's paychecks, and that the paycheck of an ex-husband is every bit as good as the paycheck of a husband.

The expression "single-parent home" lumps fatherless homes together with motherless homes and suggests they are equally likely to generate delinquency. This is untrue. If you ask the boys' vice principal of your local high school, the man concerned with discipline problems, who the troublemakers are, he will tell you they are boys from fatherless homes. (The girls' vice principal will tell you about the problems--especially the sexual ones--of the girls from fatherless homes.) Those from motherless homes are not a problem. Readers desirous of seeing documentation for this will find it in the third and fourth chapters of my Back to Patriarchy.

The amotivation of males in such societies is thus described by Rousseau: "Being confined to the purely physical aspect of love, and fortunate in being ignorant of those preferences which irritate the passions and increase the difficulties in the way of their satisfaction, savage men must needs feel less frequently and less powerfully than we do the ardours of temperament; and consequently disputes amongst them are less frequent and less cruel. Imagination, which plays havoc amongst ourselves, has no power over the mind of the savage; each awaits peacefully the impulse of nature, yields to it without exercising choice, with more pleasure than fury, and, the need being satisfied, all desire is extinguished." (J. J. Rousseau, "Discours sur l'origine de l'inegalite parmi les hommes," Oeuvres completes, vol. i, p. 548; quoted in Robert Briffault, The Mothers (New York: Macmillan, 1927), II, p. 141.)

Also the most ecologically devastated. Ecofeminists like to portray ecological spoliation as resulting from the ruthlessness of capitalist patriarchy. Aerial photographs show Haiti, once heavily forested, to be surrounded by oceans made brown by the erosion of the soil from that happy matriarchy.

"Port-au-Prince," writes Joan Chittister, "is a cesspool. The poor are everywhere; the streets are gullies and the buildings are in various stages of collapse....The people are free only to starve....Cardboard shacks lined mud paths barely more than a car- width wide. Children, literally thousands of them, played in the mud and dirt....Starving dogs move slowly among the children....Crowds gathered quickly, all young men and boys, pushing and asking for money, candy, pens, eyeglasses.

Demon Screwtape writes to Demon Wormwood that "humans who have not the gift of continence can be deterred from seeking marriage as a solution because they do not find themselves 'in love,' and, thanks to us [demons], the idea of marrying with any other motive seems to them low and cynical. Yes, they think that. They regard the intention of loyalty to a partnership for mutual help, for the preservation of chastity, and for the transmission of life, as something lower than a storm of emotion." (C.S.
