It is two sides of the same coin...the women and men in this scenario are playing complementary roles, and both must bear responsibility. In case of lack of education, not high intelligence, background of poverty, it is understandable for either party. Selecting a bad man, even if he is the last man on earth, is a moral choice and hopefully one they are still preaching against. When I was growing up, one thing that made sense about a very restrictive religion was that you had an obligation to be a decent person. And furthermore, you had an obligation to marry a decent person. This was drilled into us. A number of loser men could shape up if they received no companionship, sex etc...now some ..the true sociopaths..can probably not. The best a woman can do is avoid them..flee from them. Never ever let them move in with you, especially if you have daughters (or sons) because often this is a recipe for pedophilia. One thing as a society we should do is have dormitories for men down on their luck, as well as women, so they do not have the financial pressure of looking for a roof over their heads by manipulating a woman (or man). Each person should have the knowledge that there is safe and warm shelter and a leftover school lunch waiting at all times...

Anyway, do not let women off the hook in this scenario. They have the responsibility, especially if present or future children are involved, to make sure the men they are with are safe and at the very least non exploitive and non abusive. It does not mean they have to be the breadwinner, or that a woman can not choose to support a decent, non-exploitive man..whatever works for them...but perhaps churches, AA meetings etc. should address this more.
