 This is only going to be a controversial stance on this particular platform, for the record, since we don't have a representative userbase.

The divorce rate speaks for itself. A lot of women think it's a bad deal and most women aren't religious enough to just suffer it. 
 You have to have evidence that women are divorcing their husbands and not the opposite though 
 Most divorces are initiated by wives.
