International Women’s Day, doncha just love it? Well, although I am not a massive fan – why do we only get one day a year, when men seem to have the other 364? – it seems us girls are getting our own back in different ways.
You see, while we let the blokes think they are the loves of our lives, new research suggests that if you’re a woman aged between 35 and 47, earn around £50,000 a year, and have got a university degree under your belt, you’re more likely to cheat than anyone else.
That’s right, our old friends over at the cheaters’ paradise that is IllicitEncounters.com have studied the profiles of over 2,000 women on their site to find any pattern behind what the modern day unscrupulous sister might look like.
Middle-aged, well-educated and solvent women typify the modern day career woman, and it’s the rise of this career woman that is seeing more women cheat than ever before.
This is compared to ten years ago, where not only was there was no pattern or theme to connect the cheaters, but the number of women cheating in general was far, far less.
These days the site has loads of lascivious ladies looking for lovers.
But why? A large part of it is down to female empowerment, with 60% of the 2,000 women surveyed stating they realised they no longer needed to be second-best in their relationship; if their marriage hit the rocks, they felt motivated to do something about it.
More importantly, women are, on average, earning more money than ever before, meaning that the threat of divorce isn’t what it once was; they know that, should the worst case scenario come to fruition, they won’t be left economically ravaged – they’re not as reliant on the breadwinner, because there’s a good chance that they are the breadwinner – 75% said that this was the case.
An IllicitEncounters.com spokeswoman said: “Women have evolved far beyond the lonely, stereotypical housewife of 50 years ago
“While gender pay gap issues still exist, women are earning more money and are more empowered than ever before, meaning that they can comfortably bulldoze past what is the biggest barrier to cheating for so many people.
“They’ve come to realise that, if their marriage hits the rocks, why should they have to put up with it? They shouldn’t, and they don’t.”
Mad Men my arse… it’s the sisterhood calling all the shots these days.
