I know someone whose wife refused to accept a get. As the rabbis in his case (as in most cases) were very reluctant to grant the heter meah rabbonim, it really soured him on Judaism. I saw some statistics from Israel from a few years ago and there were about the same number of women as men on the chief rabbi’s office list of persons who were in violation of beit din orders to grant or accept a get. It is possible that the Jewish Press may be concentrating on the women because in most cases there is no halachic option for them when the husband is recalcitrant. Have you written to the Jewish Press? I’ve corresponded with their editor and found him very willing to communicate.
