Well a woman would also be completely doomed if she divorced typically, not only that but you usually grew up together, got hitched early, and shared all of the same milestones. You were also the breadwinner, you kept the roof on the house and bellies full; you didn't have to worry about all this shit. The man was THEE man. If you got divorced you were also talk of the town - gossiping hens, flock consensus, etc. It was really, really, really, really bad to get divorced so you made that shit work until it worked given a few snags.

Women really don't need you anymore and everyone is so much worse off for it.
