this empirical observation
I doubt you're using "empirical" properly here.

CMIIW but I don't think "empirical observation" is the correct term for an observation that "there seem to be many more now."

Yes but by choice not forced.
Who's being forced?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Why are you casting English interpretation on regular english posts?

Communities that won't take kids into school if the mother has hair?

And you think that a majority of women in those communities feel forced?

Let me ask a crazy question. Is this so bad? What's more important, staying married or being happy? As Louis CK once said "no good marriage has ever ended in divorce."

Do you feel forced to grow a beard? Would you feel forced if you lived in a community that wouldn't accept your children if you "touched" your beard?

This is such a loaded question. When you grow up with certain social norms and values driven into you by everyone around you, you come to think of your actions as voluntary, but are they? It's so complex. It's like the scientologists who willingly go in the "hole." If you ask them, they will tell you they are there voluntarily, but it's all brainwashed BS.

No, its not bad at all.

But I'm not sure why there isnt a broader discussion of this in general. I feel like theres discussion ad neausum about a shiddiuch crisis but not about a divorce endemic; and the focus on the former may be causing the latter. The question is if people are being pressured into marriages they should never be in, in the first place.
iThink. Ergo. iAm

So rephrase the ops question: "why are more people unhappy in their marriage?"

To the community it would be staying married.

SO all societal values are the result of "brainwashing"?

Divorces are actually a good thing when it has to be done. It's sad that there's so many marriages that fall through.

I am sure teens are more than capable to make this lifelong decision. Just remember you are not allowed to drink before, during or after the decision.

If you internalize it to the point where you don't feel like you have a "choice" but to live a certain way then yes, to some extent...
