It's only "practically worthless" because it doesn't align with what you believe about the world.

People only demand data and statistics and deny lived experience when the shared lived experience goes counter to what they want to believe.

No I’m just asking for something more than your actually worthless empirical experience. You can claim it’s worth something but that’s just your… opinion. Get some data and put some money where your mouth is otherwise you’re just crying because you have nothing to back up your truly soporific and sophomoric claims. Also I don’t nor do I have to give any credence to your empirical experiences. I do take an interest in what you claim generally from your expierences since, given the claim is solely from your empirical experiences, it would have very little to do with the actual state of the world despite you falsely claiming otherwise — especially since you have no data to back any of your senseless claims up. Sorry your feelings don’t matter when you make unqualified statements like this.

Access to a search engine will confirm that, indeed, women are more likely to be dependent on men than vice versa.

What are you on about? People demand data and statistics in order to verify claims.

>a lot of x often involves y

is a broad claim which warrants more than a few anecdotes. GP may have an unpleasant tone but they're not wrong for asking that a sweeping generalisation come with something more solid than 1 person's perspective.

I don't like the "educate yourself" dismissal for answers like these, but the divides in income and gender isn't exactly a niche topic. If you can believe that women often won't date men who make less and that women more often become stay at home parents than men, you can derive why woman may be more likely to pursue passions that pay a pittance compared to men in a relationship.

If any of those 2 points feel contentious, all I'll say is Google it. I'm not interested in digging up such common facts for someone else.
