how do you differentiate open-mindedness from a closed-minded preference in other direction (i.e. straight men who specifically want to out-earn their spouses)?

- codingmess 7y agoThat's just a feminist lie. Most divorces are initiated by women, and the dominant reason for divorce is money issues. Not what you would expect to see if the feminist narrative was true.

It would be particularly indicative if 1) Women who start out earning their husband start initiating divorces at higher rates, while men stay constant or decrease the rate of divorce. However, to differentiate that from the hypothesis that all people moving up in the income spectrum have an tendency to split up with their current partner to find a new one, it would also be useful to see 2) Men who start out earning their wives do not start initiating divorces at higher rates, while women stay constant or decrease the rate of divorce. You could also see how a switch in income ordering affects divorce rates in homosexual couples to factor out the gender aspects. Another, less direct metric would be seeing who uses income filters in online dating more, though few sites seem to offer it nowadays.
