Anything varying from that may be viewed as negative. Disabled males generally find a female who can fulfill the nurturing role and care for the male. Disabled females may not be able to fulfill the caretaker role and may place too great an amount of responsibility on a male in the marriage situation. These women then are more likely to be divorced if they do marry. Although fewer females seek employment than do disabled males, the females that do are at a double disadvantage.
Employers seem to be reluctant to hire females due to their disability as well as their gender.
Females receive fever and less generous benefits from programs such as insurance and worker's compensation. Because the amount of disability insurance benefits is based on previous earnings females who have been homemakers for long periods prior to disability are further penalized when it comes to benefits. Presently disabled women are part of an invisible society.
