  • In the US, women were not generally allowed to open bank accounts on their own until the 1960s. Before this, they often required a husband's signature or a male co-signer to open or maintain a bank account. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974 solidified this right, prohibiting discrimination based on sex or marital status in granting credit, including bank accounts.

  • Late 1960s and 1970s: Many states moved towards no-fault divorce, where couples could divorce based on "irreconcilable differences" without proving wrongdoing.
  • 1969: California became the first state to adopt a no-fault divorce law.

  • In the United States, 40 years ago (1985), women faced significant limitations in various aspects of their lives. They could be fired for getting pregnant, denied equal pay for equal work, and had limited legal protections against sexual harassment.

  • Additionally, women were excluded from jury duty in some states, and it was still illegal for them to be on the front lines in the military

If you ask me,

Divorce court is why less and less men are getting married. You risk 50% of all your assets. Your house, 401k, any stocks, etc. All the while you back renting and extending your retirement age another 10 years.

Polygamy is illegal and gay marriage was illegal for most of that time. So how are the percentages so different?

I am pro marriage but we cant ignore the factors that contributed to folks getting and staying married in the past. Also plenty of people today have families...mama just got a different last name.

Would you say men are apart of the problem?









I disagree, if anything, increased inflation should have MORE marriages. Two incomes always beat one. Something else is going on.
You dony need to be married to cohabitate.

Plus, two incomes don't necessarily cut costs. All bills will double. Theoretically, you would save on housing and utilities but that assumes both parties are contributing.

That's the entire point. Bills only double if either party isn't on the same wave. Find you an equally yoked woman who's on the same wave.

I read a lot of r/fire, and there's a lot of married couples that build together and retire early.

So the answer to being in the verge of poverty is to combine with someone else on the verge of poverty and live marginal lives together while secretly despising each other for being not what the other actually wants?

Yes.

People Think they know what they want but don't

People win the lottery all the time and go broke within 5 years.

At the end of the only You can make yourself happy.

Leading purely on your emotions is feminine.

I wonder if as humans continue to have an increased lifespan, will the max age in which women can have children will evolve/increase as well.

Imagine 500 year life spans but only able to give birth up to age 45.
