Wasn't there another study awhile back that said "men cheat when they make more money", too?
How about we just, you know, say "people cheat because they're dirtbags"? It's not the female's job to sit there and police what she makes; it's the man's job to NOT FUCKING CHEAT. (This obviously goes both ways, I'm just wording it this way for the purpose of this article.)
This seems to me to be a very close cousin of the "she was asking for it" argument, in which the person who does wrong blames everything and everyone but him-or-herself for what THEY chose to do.
Same study...tiger0rangeSeptember 26 2010, 17:24:44 UTC
...different packaging.
The same problems with the study brought up last time apply to this one. Let's just say it doesn't even crawl up to the standards of "social science" let alone anything else.
Pretty much, yeah. All of these dumb studies add up to "Some men cheat, no matter how much money they earn." I have no idea why we're even studying this unless it has a larger context that's producing useful information, and NOT being used to justify the wage gap. :|
Oh, so the majority of women who are dependent on THEIR husband's income are totes about to go cheat! Oh, wait, except women naturally have no problem being dependent on their men for finances because according to ~evolutionary psychology~ we look for partners we have to depend on.
It has NOTHING to do with society's penchant for telling men they're only as good as the number of fucks they get, how they're built up to be perfect when in fact they are not, and that they have to be better than women otherwise they are shit males.

Men who were completely dependent on their female partner’s income... were five times more likely to cheat than men who contributed an equal amount of money to the relationship... men who earn significantly more than their female partners are also more likely to cheat.
Equality = more stable partnerships. Thank you, feminism.
