A shocking nine out of 10 women will be solely responsible for their finances during their lifetime.

It always comes out. They cannot fathom the idea of women being responsible for her own life for any point of time, and she should have supplementary income (aka a man's) to fluff it up as an expectation.

How is that shocking? Nine out of ten women living on their own before they get married seems pretty normal to me. Nine out of ten men do too you weirdos.

It's the 1 in 5 homeless people are women stat all over again.

Its shocking to them because they still expect men to be financially supporting women, even if the women are "independent" no matter how contradicting that is.

Most of those women living on their own are usually entirely reliant on their dad for a lot of their success, and if they don't have a dad they are always the type of rush into relationships with a dad-replacement.

I'd guess that it's closer to 99/100 men.

With the average age of widowhood being 59, as reported by the U.S. Census Bureau

I see this "fact" thrown around a lot, with the age reported as anywhere between 55 and 60, but unless I'm missing something, it's mathematically impossible.

The average age gap in a marriage is about 3 years. The average man lives to the age of 73. That'd put his wife at 70, which is a far cry from 55. And if you correct for homicide, which contrary to feminist narrative almost exclusively affects men in their teens and early 20s, men probably live to more like 75.

I know women live 5 - 7 years longer than men on average.

I always suspect they're making this up, but men dying much sooner is probably a factor they're carefully avoiding saying.

Its like the "life expectancy in the past was only 30!" meme. Its only true if you use pure raw numbers with no context.

In the historical case, it was because infant mortality was so high and if you made it to like age 7 you'd live a pretty normally long life. And currently its because men are both getting killed and killing themselves at a high rate, which again lowers the average a lot.

That would imply that there are as many women becoming widows at 40 as there are at 70, or half as many at 25. I guess it's theoretically possible, but I'd have a very hard time believing it. Most of the men dying at 25 are, shall we say, not exactly marriage material.

Most of the men dying at 25 are, shall we say, not exactly marriage material.

A man who isn't "marriage material" is drowning in pussy, and if for some reason he wanted marriage he could have it. Women only go looking for "marriage material" men when they can't get the violent drug dealer who gives them the tingles to commit. Still, for the guy who isn't "marriage material", marriage is there for the taking if he wants it. Most don't do it, but the few who do can skew things. Averages are very sensitive to outliers, so it doesn't take many outliers to change the average quite drastically.

I'm sure Tyrone and Cleetus are getting all the HIV-riddled skanks their local crack den has to offer, but this is specifically about marriage. Can't be a widower if you're not married.

Marriage is down in numbers. It takes very few these days, especially with younger women marrying older men for...their looks?
