Is this explanation for divorce in Western society completely off base?

Question

It was my gut reaction when someone asked why significantly more women file for divorce than men.

Answer 1

yeah, i think its off base. i think people divorce more now because of increased acceptance. before divorce was really taboo, but now so many people are doing it it isnt seen as a big deal (moral relativism). i think that a lot of women are getting divorced compared to the past because they now are able to be financially independent and dont need a husband to feed themselves. a lot of men divorce too tho, so you cant point the figure one way. honestly, i think women divorce because the marriage isnt working/they are unhappy.
