Hell I’m a man and I stayed dating a woman I should have left (because she was abusive) because I couldn’t have done without her part of the rent at the time. Shit happens ig. Got a new job and now I’m able to afford it alone, she’s gone, shit rules.
I think the rise in marriage age and reduction in wars also helped. Used to be a 21 year old mother of two lost her husband in some battle or workplace accident.
Killin your husband is a proud tradition we lrt go of as a people. It was like the one cool thing the heteros gave us. Maybe also half of freddie mercury.
Idk I’m a lot happier in a world where people can just leave. Like killing your abusive spouse when its your only option is one thing, but it’s a tragedy that it has to happen.
Generally, yes, but my dating life has suffered from a severe deficit of young widows, and im only juuuuust getting to the age where an older one might consider me.
Women have almost always through history needed a male supporter for housing or they needed to live in family cooperative situations.

We know pre-farming societies were far more balanced between the sexes, if not outright matriarchical
When ‘women’s rights’ became a thing,and women could live as independent humans, young widows became an oddity.
I guess you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.
