That's equality for you!

Love to see this broken down by cause of bankruptcy, and ammount of consumer/cc debt the bankrupts were carrying.

"Debt experts said it is not driven by women buying Ferrari sports cars and luxury holidays to the Maldives"

Classic straw-man. No-one suggested that it was because they are buying ferraris. It's because they are buying shoes. And, of course, there's the snide unsupported suggestion that the men who go bankrupt do so because they are buying ferraris. Its more likely they are paying CS and maintenance and their stupid ex has put them on the sex offender's register out of spite, so they can't get a job.

But will this growing monetary realization enable women to see men aren't the real enemy, but the greedy banks, politicians and assorted opportunists? I've always contended, women will never truly grasp anything that affects men until it impacts equal numbers of women or they suffer to the same punishing degree. You can't expect women to empathize with men when subjugating them is reliant upon maintaining female privilege. I believe women equally suffering alongside men in industrial numbers might prove to be a cathartic and uniting experience, if only maybe temporary.

Ah, Celtic Druid, you forget that it is always the fault of men that any woman, anywhere in the world has problems and suffers because of men..

It is a straw-man!
I don't know anyone who can suddenly pull $636,000 out of their ass to buy a Ferrari.

Inevitably the posts have already been written somewhere following up this article, explaining how this is further evidence of the male-dominated banking industry and its repressive exploitation, etc, etc...
