Drunken rages have been the cause of many accidental (or otherwise) deaths. Alcohol would have a body acting on things they wouldn’t normally do. Perhaps all the Fetal Alcohol Syndrome advertising campaigns in the late 70′s/early 80′s and the knowledge that drinking harms the development of a baby convinced married women to lay off the heavy drinking at a steeper rate?

Almost everyone (men and women) drank to excess back in the day – now it’s only socially acceptable for frat boys & military to be openly intoxicated. (Although, the new blogging mommies have been rebelling against this no drinking policy somewhat as of late.)

That’s my theory.

Or perhaps internet/ home entertainment technology?

Or because more women work full time jobs and don’t have time to beat up people?

Or because there is much more focus on women’s sexual fulfillment?

Or because feminism is working and spouses get along better?

“But srrrsly, this blog has gotten really out of hand with the feminist bend”

@Rrrriot Grrl, this is a sociology website. Show me a sociologist who is not a feminist. I mean, there are some dead ones like Parsons, but his theories are not held in very high regard anymore.

And WTF is wrong with feminism anyway. Do you really think women should not have equality?
