text: It's obvious that men had a far easier time both initiating and living with a divorce in Jesus' time. No one would dispute the economic/social nightmare that resulted from divorce for women. However, Jesus' words in Mark 10:11-12 equalize the whole scenario between the sexes:
  
  "And he said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife and marries another, commits adultery against her; and if she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.”
  
  For Jesus, women can be just as guilty in divorcing, remarrying, and committing adultery.
  
  Obviously you are operating with a general viewpoint on the Scriptures that they are texts which are historically/culturally conditioned and therefore not always applicable in concrete ways to different times and cultures. That's an argument for another day. Suffice to say when the Bible quotes the Incarnate Son of God speaking plainly in moral absolutes regarding these topics your interpretive key runs into serious difficulties.
