BONUS - The Sin Of Women

Tune in every Monday at 12PM CT for our live Q&A with Pastor Joel.

“Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady are done ... TMZ Sports has learned the supermodel just filed for divorce from the NFL superstar.” Yup, that's the way it usually goes, the woman in the vast majority of cases, initiates the divorce.

“A study led by the American Sociological Association determined that nearly 70% of divorces are initiated by women. And the percentage of college-educated American women who initiated divorce is even higher, as high as 90%.”

In attempting to explain the disproportionate amount of divorces initiated by women many, in error, respond . . . “Well, that’s because men are physically stronger and the women have to use their legal option for divorce because they are almost always the abused party.” Although that does happen in particular instances, it is not at all the statistical norm.

“A 2006 study of physical and psychological aggression revealed instances of minor aggression initiated by men in 23.3% of the cases, while there were instances of minor aggression ignited by women in 33.8 % of the cases.”

“Women also lead the men in cases of severe aggression, with male-initiated aggression in 8.4% of the cases and female-initiated aggression in 11.5% of the cases.”

“In relationships where violence was non-mutual almost 70% of the violence was perpetrated by the woman. In other words, in almost 7 out of 10 cases of mutual violence, the batterer was a female.”

“Women who participated in mutually violent behavior with their male partners were more likely to display a pattern of repeated violence than men. Men’s violence was more likely to be isolated and unlikely to be repeated.”
