>So I think we can take the fact that most divorces are initiated by women as prima facie evidence that women recover better from divorces.

That's a pretty big assumption, especially considering how irrational many people are when it comes to divorce.

Personally, I've always assumed the discrepancy was caused by women's higher standards and belief that they can get a better man that "treats them right". I wouldn't be at all surprised if that was completely wrong, though.

My use of "prima facie" specifically flagged that I was not assuming the conclusion, only that it's good evidence that shifts the burden of proof.

I do understand that, but I disagree with you that it's good evidence.
