[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 111257, member: 35"] Tejwant ji I am not minimizing your point or indirectly that of Otilla - but how do women find husbands and bear children before their biological clock runs down under these circumstances? It must be disconcerting for the women of Argentina. Most women want to marry and have families. Then there is the social cost -- because, when men know they are a premium, they begin to look at women as a cattle in a market place of prospects. Women in turn may make compromises that they don't really want to make just to marry. With their mothers pushing them all the way to the altar alongside some very questionable men. The social cost? Unhealthy competition among women over men? Domestic abuse at levels that are exceptionally high? What does Otilla ji say? Out of curiosity, what do the domestic abuse statistics look like in Argentina? Here is something to read and think about [URL]http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/country,,IRBC,,ARG,4562d94e2,47ce6d7ca,0.html[/URL] [COLOR=Blue][I]Citing a survey published by the National Women's Council (Consejo Nacional de la Mujer, CNM), an article in the online newspaper Minuto Uno indicates that one in three Argentinean women suffers from physical, psychological, sexual or economic abuse in her home, although the President of the CNM, Pimpi Colombo, stated that in reality the proportion could be higher (20 Feb. 2007). Agence France-Presse (AFP) cites a report by the Argentinean-based non-governmental organization (NGO) Red Solidaria, which links volunteers and persons in need (Red Solidaria n.d.), indicating that every year more than 100 Argentinean women are killed by their partners (AFP 4 Mar. 2007).[/I][/COLOR] and [COLOR=DarkGreen][I]According to the Buenos Aires daily Clarín, the Gender Policy Office (Dirección General de Políticas de Género) of the Province of Buenos Aires reported that 70 percent of female domestic violence victims who lodge a complaint at special police stations for women and families (Comisarías de la Mujer y la Familia) are from a middle- or upper-class background, leading experts to presume that these women have more resources at their disposal to leave their abusive partners after they have reported them to the police ([/I][I]Clarín 11 Oct. 2005).[/I][/COLOR] And final observation from me and then I will be quiet. ;) When men outnumber women to such an extent, marriage itself becomes a pressure cooker -- and the health of relationships suffers. A woman may believe she has to "tow the line" no matter outrageous her husband's behavior may be and no matter his character and behavior. If not, he can snap his fingers and get someone else.
