Pure anecdata here. My dad became kind of a jerk when he got fired, years ago: he became a bitter pessimist, jealous at my mother (she was working) and desperate because he couldn't do what he was supposed to do (feed the family!). This lead to a divorce, after some time. What I mean is that possibly men and women react very differently to a situation of unemployment. As the article says, > The findings reveal that despite more women entering the workplace, the pressure on husbands to be breadwinners largely remains. Could it be that unemployed men become really difficult people to deal with, in most circumstances?
