In 1950’s, it was about 30,000, but in 2000’s it was about 155,000.

Some people even suggested that marriages during later time i.e. 30/31 may be the reason why it is not higher than now.

Yes, that's because it wasn't socially acceptable back then, it was frowned upon. Divorce is being more acceptable. Back then, there were many men who were abusers, cheaters but the women were afraid to leave. So bascially, women are leaving their trash partners.

This is BS.

Its not bull$#!t, she's using associative memory.
Q. Why do woman want gender equality in the workplace -
A. Women became a strong presence in the workforce(basically this is self empowerment of being dependent on a man with sexuality, even if she does lie to say that she is a lesbian rather then saying she is married to
someone she is looking to be unfaithful too).
Q. but not in dating
A. because They no longer depended on their husbands for support.

Leading to divource because "Divorce also became more acceptable".

There is gender equality though. Women do not earn less than men for doing exactly the same job in the UK. It is illegal and does not exist.

What people are confusing the equal pay is with pay gap or pay averages, which is the average income of men and women across all levels of an organisation.

This is not only unfair but untrue in some cases, this is because women, on average, then to do supporting or back-office roles, while men do front-office or sales roles.

Women were being encouraged to wreck their marriages and not to engage in rational conversations to progress when issues arose. This led to a cycle of broken homes and bitter women.

The so-called women empowerment led to boys not having strong role models and learning from the hood. Girls seeing their mothers and aunts bitter and alone and then concluding that the reason was because men were rubbish.

Now, 20/30/40 years down the line, we see young women grown up to be bitter and emotionally crippled and boys directionless and psychologically damaged without strong guidance. They meet and the relationship breaks down, the women believes her “mama was right” that “men aint sh.it”. The men believes that the women were just “bit.ches”.

I have seen men with children from 3 or 4 different women and women with children from 5 different fathers. I grew up in the “hood” and saw it happen. Fortunately, my family worked through their issues.

This has taken a vicious cycle that divorces and broken homes are causing more destruction than actually having real compromises and building a strong family unit that translates to a strong society.

So if a man hits his wife, it's now the wife's responsibility to talk it out, and if not- It's all her fault if she wants to leave.
Tbh, it's not surprising you have this narrow view on women. You are vehemently against women's rights.

None of those sources say that the most common reason for divorce is because women are gold diggers

Not everything you learn is true. Be careful.

We learned about how the British Empire was a great thing. When i got to uni, i realised how much i was lied to.

I see what you mean by BS from what shes just wrote but what you
wrote just then was even more BS then what she wrote. At least what she wrote could have made sense by saying that she was graded on a report, that she didnt. While what you wrote, is just $#!+
What I learned in school was that the sun would burn out & turn into a black hole (over the course of millions of years) & suck up everything in our solar system, into it, including the Earth. Turns out thats not true.

You would have been a better argument with once upon a time, they believed the world was flat.
Later they would claim that everything revolved around the Earth.
Then theyd claim that a person has never traveled into space.
What will they believe next, well I just told you, that they believed that the Earth would be sucked up by the sun.
What is the world going to believe next?

Come on, why would you say that? Why do you go towards the extreme? Not many divorces stem from abuse. The number one reason for many divorces is financial stress not physical abuse.

Okay...but women (esp black) marry down their league financially all the time, so how does that make us gold diggers? Finance is important in both parts.

In the UK, probably yes, but in African countries then probably no. Financial issue suggest the argument and fights that low finance creates in a household.

We are not talking about black women, but women in general. Many women marry their equal (similar middle class guys) or they marry up.

Why is financial reasons so shocking to you when children are expensive? Okay, my point was that there are so many women out there, that marry down financially all the time. Some races more than others. Plus, what about guys that choose an attractive women with an okay degree vs a plain women with a good degree? Isn't that not their fault?

The point on financial reasons was that some marriages collapse because couples fail to work out their differences some of which stem from finance, e.g. where would they live, how will the bills be covered, what happens to family, do we have a joint account etc.? When there is low finance then the arguments increase to a breaking point.

Having a good degree is not a determinant that you will be successful. I agree that some men have shallow desires in a partner, but many or even most men marry real women. They choose women with strong personality that is capable of being a good wife, mother and general human being.

Yes, many men marry attractive women, but this is expected. Would you marry an ugly 1/10 guy with loads of money or an 8/10 guy with an average socio-economic situation? I guess it will be the latter.

Look at some of the wealthiest and most powerful families, the wealthy men have average wives, who turn out to be great women (Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg etc.). Very truly wealthy men don't go for dumb bimbos. They can be moderately attractive, but few go for the 9/10 model types.

Well what statistics say is that, for women financially is more important, and for men, looks are more important. So why label women gold diggers. If I said men are shallow i'd get hate smh

All woman can be a digger to men but those woman want some men, regardless of money. Men can be gold diggers too. Its just a matter of if youre man enough for what category you want to be in.
Personally professionals are cheaper then pissing away money over the
bar & on cab fair but what I learned is that puts me in the category of
socialist.

You just wrote that for women money is more important. Are you contradicting yourself? What does gold digging mean to you?

Yes, men can be gold diggers but the term is often overwhelmingly focused on women who do it more than men.

I dont understand your second point.

Gold digging is when money is only important. Why would you think I would date a bum? Like...are you mad? LOL. Money is important for marriage, and any guy offended by that is 9/10 times broke. Is a guy shallow because he wants to marry an attractive women?
