Sacrifice

[edit]

The lead states women contribute by sacrificing men. (Sacrifice: an act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure). That's not what their "sacrifice" is. It is the loss of companionship, services (i.e. work and parenting), and, potentially, status. It's obvious that this is NOT be limited to women. Children, parents, friends and others with close relationships may all suffer (emotionally and often financially).
