I read somewhere that one of the biggest classes of people on welfare are recently divorced women. I'm inclined to agree that marriage can be a ripoff, but it doesn't always play out that way. Women are often in a dependent position, for the simple reason that the division of labor involves male income and female fertility, the latter of which is poorly remunerative.
