The Purchasing Power of Women: Statistics (Women make up more than half of the U.S. population, and control or influence 85% of consumer spending)

walterwallcarpet · 2023-09-27T07:59:40+00:00

As the bigger voting demographic and the driver of the consumer society, women will always be the priority for politicians and business.

They exhibit hive mind, and are easily influenced. What's not to like?

What's that..? Men find them sexy and will, in turn, be influenced by women? Even though they're much smarter than that..? Just to get their leg over?

Man is born free, but is everywhere in chains. Courtesy of his sex drive.

Almost all women think "What I earn is mine; what he earns is ours".

That's why they are outraged in a divorce if a woman has to hand money over to a man, because that's HER money. Whereas when a man is handing over to a woman in a divorce, that's "rightfully hers" and she is "entitled" to it.

Men make most of the money and women spend it!

El-Carretero · 2023-09-27T05:55:29+00:00

I'm not surprised. Because married men have to spend their money wisely on saving and retirement. Women just want to blow money.

63daddy · 2023-09-27T14:21:31+00:00

Women not only control more of the spending, but spend more money than men, period. This is why advertisers pander to women more than men and why they can portray men as idiots and get away with it.

Women on average earn less than men (wage gap feminists always complain about), yet despite earning less, spend more. In other words men subsidize women. It’s kind of odd feminists complain about this.

WeEatBabies · 2023-09-27T11:51:24+00:00

We've known this for a very long time!

Women always ruled the world.

They choose what car their husband drives, where they live and where they go on vacation, spoiler alert on that last one, it's to go see their mother or the stepmother from the husband's perspective.

Do not get married, she will control your finances and if somehow she doesn't, she will divorce you, falsely accuse you of violence, get 100% custody and then she will control your finances!

THIS is why society and corporations and media and government are kissing feminists ass.

There is NO other reason.

Simply because women are spending so much money, and have so much of it.

END alimony.

END forcing men to pay for kids they had no say in, cant access, and cant raise.

MAKE pre nuptial agreements unbreakable law

AND the amount of money women have to spend will drop OVERNIGHT-THEN media, politicians, society etc will STOP kissing feminists ass.

SympatheticListener · 2023-09-27T15:24:11+00:00

In marriage they control 100% of spending. 😛

AbysmalDescent · 2023-09-27T15:30:56+00:00

More voting power, consuming power, social power/privilege, romantic power/privilege and educational/professional preferential treatment but somehow we're supposed to believe that we live in a "patriarchy". 🤡

danielm316 · 2023-09-27T15:39:51+00:00

Evidence that there is no oppression of women.

HadrianHoppe · 2023-09-27T19:00:01+00:00

How can women make 77 cents for every dollar men make but still control 85% of consumer spending!?

genobeam · 2023-09-27T11:16:04+00:00

One big caveat to this is that the numbers add up to more than 100% because a lot of these purchases are joint between a man and woman. Vacations, homes, Bank accounts are mostly joint.

I've seen this dynamic in my parents' marriage. My father is that guy who lives in an apartment like this and sees nothing wrong (like the meme). And the things stopping him from living like that are the things he inherited from my mother, and the fact that I prevent him from living like that. Other than that, he has not adjusted to being a widower at all and argued with me when I told him point blank that he needs to adapt.

It's a stereotype that the husband is clueless about things like food, furniture, appliances, and (men's) clothes, and goes off what the wife says. But it's true for many men.

He never actually lived on his own. He went from his mom and grandma (divorced parents), to university housing, to living with his wife.

Since I am from a different generation, lived with male housemates, and have no interest in women (my SO will be a man), I am not like this.

As far as girls' getaways, homosocial friendships are generally more important to women than to men. That's why women have these trips. Men can be happy with their bros one moment, but they drop everything once a skirt strolls in. It's very disappointing, because I have zero interest in participating in skirt-chasing. Plus most bisexual men know how hostile women are to them, and don't dare admit it, even though they could be so much happier with men.

Widowhood is harder for men than women, because women rely on their female friends for emotional support a lot more than men on their male friends.

I always say follow the money and you will find the truth. This is a good example of why things are happening the way they are.

hwjk1997 · 2023-09-27T21:09:11+00:00

Interesting. Women spend more, but men have more debt.

THEpassionOFchrist · 2023-09-27T23:37:19+00:00

This is why the wage gap, even if it did exist the way feminists portray it to exist, doesn't matter. Who care who does the work to earn the money if you get to spend 85% of the money?

MembershipWooden6160 · 2023-09-27T07:40:44+00:00

Good job Religious Conservatives, keep on advising men to give away their homes and income to women, same women who will overwhelmingly turn to ultra-liberal and vehement feminists after divorce. Please also preach about Jesus and side with some gym retards on how Swedes are the soyboys.

Just a good comparison of Swedish guys - they are more likely to own a home at ANY demographic group except among 50+ group, primarily due to still living somewhat shorter than women (and reducing the gap), along with previous generations being more likely to marry and divorce. Also the older women are increasingly getting LESS pension or access to retirement savings as new law started affecting new retirees and widows after about 30+ of years of being enacted for new couples. May I also say that alimony is extremely rare in Sweden and mainly reserved among immigrants, while lifetime alimony is literally unheard of for at least a decade already.

In the US, the situation is completely opposite - women are more likely to own a property (by a very significant margin) and this persists at any age group and women, unlike those in Sweden women also have more disposable income through various means, alimony is decreasing but is still a reality for about 400k people, almost exclusively men, and just about ALL alimony payments for lifetime support involve men supporting women until their death, making a significant amount of all those alimony payments. Needless to say anything about disparity on spending of healthcare or welfare in general towards men, or to simply improve any of their issues that severely affect their lifespan and life quality.

Female gamers over 55 spend more time online gaming than males ages 15 to 24.

This is hard to believe.

Loose the Peen (other than for YOUR amusement), loose the irrational desire to clone yourself (place is (overcrowded) and you’re free from all angles of Control.

Adopt - have sex without obligation (contraception and off premises) then grab pop corn and watch Armageddon .

MaxWebxperience · 2023-09-28T01:59:39+00:00

TV has always made males look like idiots and showed women how to dominate. That's where the ad revenue is at, getting women to ignore their husbands and spend, spend, spend... so very much of the krap you see advertised is unnecessary, if men were in charge of the household the ad revenue would be way different

Current_Finding_4066 · 2023-09-28T08:17:18+00:00

I wonder abotu 85% of spending decisions, sounds like some feminsit bullshit to push companies to support women as their main revenue target.
