But a woman who risks divorce has a greater need to return to the workforce than a similarly situated woman who stays married. The normalization of divorce exacerbated the risks from exiting the workforce.

You’re still doing it. Anyone of any gender who ends their professional career to start a family is put at greater risk by more prevalent divorce, right?

Shitty sexist traditional societal practices exacerbated the risk of exiting the workforce for women. The fact that women are more vulnerable to all kinds of life conditions such as divorce is a simply a consequence of that.
