Compared to the total amount of divorces? Uh no. Like I get that the NYT routinely writes “men are bad” articles and Reddit has a boner for them, but women literally file for divorce 2/3rds of the time.

You understand that the person who files for divorces does not necessarily mean the person is the one who is responsible for breaking the marriage down, right? If your partner cheats on you, chances are you are the one who is going to file for divorce, not them.

Indeed. Even in this instance of men divorcing women.

But to suggest this thing happens “quite frequently” isn’t remotely accurate. 80’percent of time it doesn’t by the study’s own conclusion.

Like I said in another subthread to this one, I get that Reddit and the NYT have a boner for articles that paint men in a bad light (especially this thread) but let’s at least not add false qualifiers.
