Because your comment and others are grasping at demonizing one thing in a fairly sexually prejudiced ways, prejudiced because the assumptions don't factor in any counterbalancing force, such as boys being sexually harassed by either parent or outside the family unit. Or creating a laser focus so quickly to there being a perpetrator and victim of sex assault at all!
Plenty of other strife, such as with the boys, is also more than enough to counteract the discrepancy in divorce here.
The reaction is about how this topic reflects a lot more about you, and the additional negative affects on society that are centered around pre-judicial judgement on males, and a society that ignores where males are victims.
In this thread, and this current point in time, I completely understand how this might seem like a completely left field reaction to you and many people. But it shouldn't be and I can do my part by pointing that out.
Regardless, it is shocking to me that people would gravitate toward "aha this must be what happened" out of the universe of possibilities in what could just as easily be a rounding error.
I can simultaneously acknowledge that maybe during the time of this study, that population did do exactly what you imagine. Its just has to factor in so much more for that to even be the first thing one thinks about.
- username90 6y agoThe increase in divorces as girls reaches the age of 13 is extremely noticeable, that isn't a rounding error: https://www.economist.com/img/b/300/346/90/sites/default/files/images/print-edition/20210206_STC622.png https://www.economist.com/img/b/300/346/90/sites/default/fil... If it was just dads refusing to understand girls etc you'd see at least some difference before then. And since the reported incidence of sexual abuse by biological dads is larger than the total increase in divorces over the entire period I'd argue that is likely the main culprit, and that daughters aren't really a problem with non abusive dads.
