It's rather shocking to see how many financially secure liberal feminists simply don't consider things like Universal Healthcare to be a feminist issue, because they themselves can't really imagine, say, having to choose between leaving an abusive husband and having healthcare.
44% of married women in America, compared to 16% of married men, are insured as dependents. Unsurprisingly, they get divorced at a lower rate than those insured themselves (and lower than dependent men). Universal Healthcare would liberate millions to be free to decide.
Some people can only see feminism as "obstacles that prevent women from social climbing", because to them life itself is nothing but social climbing. Policies that liberate poor working women are meaningless to them because it won't affect them, but are far more important.
Every time someone brings an statistic about marriages, they evidences how creepy that institution is and how creepy as a species we are.
It happened in Brazil, with Bolsa Família (income transference program), which was paid to women, not to their husbands. http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0034-76122012000200004&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en …
What's the source on this? It is a compelling statistic I'd like to tell people about but I couldn't find a source for it
You took the words right outta my thumbs.
@existentialcoms. Please source this stat. TY.
Your point is taken, but pointing to a lower divorce rate as a major problem isn't the best angle you could come at this from...
Yes, because it's impossible to imagine that a large % of people covered by a spouse's policy might actually be happy with his or her life/spouse. And giving away healthcare at a $50 trillion taxpayer expense just so it MIGHT have the effect of making divorce easier is asinine
women shouldn’t be reliant on a husband to have healthcare why is this so hard for u
I wonder what percentage of those women are working where insurance is offered. Typically divorce is seen as a life event, and you can pick up health insurance in the middle of the year, like when getting married or having a baby. Not to say we don't need universal health care.
