When Wives Get Sick, Risk of Divorce Rises, Study Says

Article here. Some misandrist woman named Kathy J. Bell left a very bigoted comment underneath the article, if anyone cares to respond. It's a masterpiece of ignorance and anti-male hostility. Excerpt:

'The risk of divorce rises for older married couples when the wife — but not the husband — becomes seriously ill, according to a new study.

Researchers examined how marriages are affected by the onset of four serious illnesses: cancer, heart disease, lung disease and stroke. Overall, they found that 31 percent of marriages ended in divorce during the period of the study. In 15 percent of cases, the wife in the couple had become sick.

The finding means that "if women become ill, they are more likely to get divorced," said study researcher Amelia Karraker, of the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research. The incidence of new chronic illnesses increased over time as well, with more husbands than wives developing serious health problems.'

I rarely use the word 'stupid' to describe anyone unless they *do* something stupid. In this case, Ms. Bell did something really stupid. She used her company's Facebook account ID showing its name and general location to post a comment that is seriously offensive to *at least* half the human population -- a company easily located via Google search. If you are a male business owner in need of her company's kind of services, what is the chance you'll be interested in engaging her for that purpose -- esp. if you are a man who had been taken to divorce court once or twice (some guys need to learn the hard way) only to be fleeced mercilessly by your former "buttercup(s)"?

Talk about a stupid move. But when people do stupid things, really, they have no one to blame but themselves.
