I don't entirely /get/ your rant (against the article). It looks like a series of statistics... and? I mean, they all seem accurate enough. I presume you want more research done on nature vs nurture (or sex vs gender); but it seems that the raw data still stands, if not its origins.
They control 86 % of all personal wealth that is probably just as true, (still) thanks to two things: the joys of marriage and joint bank accounts.
For a woman, unemployment means loss of a job; for a man, it means loss of status. And this difference combines with other sex differences to take women and men down very different pathways once the workplace door closes on them. (Yes, this is why my sister, an accomplished housewife, is depressed about not having a job and a nice house and the *status* that goes with it!) Sounds reasonable. I mean, I know more women who want to not work and have their partner take care of them than the other way around. Granted, it is HIGHLY likely that that strongly affected by societial pressures. Man without a job = bum. Woman without a job = woman. Personally, I like to believe its because being a mum/housewife/etc is a job unto itself and not because of lower expectations - but THAT is sexist-ism - the statistic is not.
