Is there any credible evidence to support the Feminist Fundamentalist notion that men are more "likely" to abandon their spouse in case of an illness?

I keep seeing a retracted 2009 study that men leave their partners when they get sick quoted, golded, heavily upvoted on reddit.

Someone tried to reproduce the study a few years later and couldn't. it turns out the original study was propaganda "flawed". The study recorded anyone that stopped participating in the study as the husband leaving the wife. Wife died? Husband abandoned her. Focused on her care and stopped answering surveys? Husband abandoned her. Moved away and stopped getting the letters? Husband abandoned her. The second team of researchers caught them.

I don't know about an illness, but women routinely abandon men who run into problems (job loss, legal trouble - including absurd false accusations).

Women end 70-80 of marriages for all sorts of reasons. Do you really think it is the men who are more likely to abandon their wife?

phoenician_anarchist · 2023-09-13T09:27:04+00:00

Not that they've been able to provide.

The claim comes from cherry picked data that doesn't even support their claim, business as usual. 🤣

Theo446_Z · 2023-09-13T20:37:08+00:00

It doesn't matter. You can't reason with brainwashed monkeys.

They are celebrating that men are lonely because of this current way of thinking of the modern women.

Is fanny because for each lonely man it will be a lonely woman.

At the end of the life, what keeps together a couple is the lived experiences. Somehow they think their beauty will last forever, that pussy power they have will fade and no men will take an old whore.

It's a lose - lose situation.

The original study wasn't even a study. It was straight up deceptive use of data. They counted getting divorced so she can get on medicaid as him abandoning her. She died. Well he abandoned her. But oddly the didn't apply those same standards to the women's numbers.

Huffers1010 · 2023-09-13T17:01:59+00:00

I've mentioned this before, but someone I work with spent two years trying to make time for work around looking after his wife as she died of cancer. When she finally did go, which happened as he watched, he spent months sitting in their house in a storm of grief, trying to get his head together, and trying to figure out when it was OK to start getting rid of her stuff.

At some point, like a lot of research, you have to ask what behaviour this data would or should provoke in anyone even if it's true. What's the conclusion they're inviting - don't marry a guy because he won't look after you if you fall ill?

Regardless of its veracity, which seems plenty suspect, right now this data is being used to attack recently-bereaved widowers, which is just about the lowest, cruellest, meanest possible response I can imagine to the situation. If modern extremist feminism is trying to make it clear that women are as capable as anyone of utterly foul and repugnant behaviour, well, it's working.

This study on brain injury found no difference.

Gender, ethnicity, educational level, time elapsed since injury, and postinjury employment status were unrelated to risk for marital breakdown.

solar-garlic1776 · 2023-09-13T13:20:59+00:00

Absolutely not. This is major projection on their part.

The overwhelming majority of women WILL abandon their partner not just in the case of illness but if they FEEL unhappy or some other bull shit responsibility dodging cope they come up with.

Men will stick it out until the very end.

It's posted all over reddit so it's all the evidence you'll ever need /s

IceCorrect · 2023-09-13T10:00:48+00:00

There was one study done in one or two hospitals that was never done again. It was also done in US so there is a possibility that divorcees was done so that earning spouse won't be affected by bill and divorce was only done on paper.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19645027/ Can only find this 2009 study on the subject

CawlinAlcarz · 2023-09-13T16:49:38+00:00

I would suspect that the only reason it might look in some studies, like husbands leave sick wives more often than wives leave sick husbands, is that women give other reasons for leaving like "he was abusive and controlling", "our relationship had run its course, and he'd been distant with me for years already", and so forth...

Further, women are potentially more likely to stick around officially, and not file for divorce (even if they've checked out emotionally/physically) if there is something to inherit or assets that they might not get upon their husband's death, which he could will to someone else.

With that said, most studies are showing negligible, if any difference in these rates.

I dont know, but if you abandon your women when she is ill, you are simply NOT a man.

A man is loyal, trustworthy and a leader. If you are the man of the house and your wife, the person you are supposed to take care of, is ill. Then you stay home and take care of her.

Feminist van say all they want but none of us are perfect. We need to stop complaining about little things like this and strive to live in unity.

Feminists hating us and us hating them, is not going to bring anyone forward.

So unfortunately this is a very real and sad statistic but only has been proven for women who are receiving a terminally diagnosis (I will link a study) there are thousands of studies out there proving this just Google it. It has been found that men compared to women are more likely to leave/divorce their partners 6 fold if their partners receive a terminal diagnosis particularly for cancer study

savannahsmyles · 2023-09-13T16:08:35+00:00

It’s happened enough that us healthcare workers are trained on how to tell women their husbands have left them when diagnosed with a terminal or chronic condition

I remember when working with people with disabilities that it was true that we leave more often. But the numbers are high on both sides of the fence. Still I think we do more often.
