The situation in nazi Germany of a Jewish male married to an "aryan" female vs Jewish female married to an "aryan" male?
score:2
The protest on Rosenstrasse was afaik uniformly Jewish males being held and non-Jewish wives protesting their imprisonment — why was there not a single case even in this protest of a Jewish wife being imprisoned? (Unless of course there was.)
Maybe five to ten percent ("a bit more than hundred women among a lot more than thousand men") of those imprisoned in Rosenstraße were women, according to a footnote in this paper by Wolf Gruner (Wolf Gruner: Die Fabrik-Aktion und die Ereignisse in der Berliner Rosenstraße: Fakten und Fiktionen um den 27. Februar 1943. In: Jahrbuch für Antisemitismusforschung 11 (2002), p. 137–177):
Selbst wenn weniger Frauen als Männer aus „Mischehen“ in der Industrie tätig waren, da sie öfter als „privilegiert“ eingestuft wurden, ist der geringe Anteil von wenig mehr als hundert Frauen bei weit mehr als tausend Männern nicht schlüssig.
(footnote 130 on p.162)
Gruner rejects the notion that what happened at Rosenstraße was a mass protest in the way that is sometimes depicted in the media, but he also points out that men participated and gives a hint why there were few male participants (emphasis mine):
Es warteten dort auch Männer, einige sogar in Uniform.
There were also men waiting there, some even in uniform.
(p.169)
Those held in Rosenstraße in March 1943 had been rounded up in Berlin during the Fabrikaktion on February 27th (which was a Germany-wide roundup of Jewish forced labour workers). Note that not all Jewish spouses from mixed marriages in Berlin were rounded up during the Fabrikaktion, and of those who had been rounded up, not all were imprisoned in Rosenstraße. One tragic example here. Gruner implies that the share of women among Jewish spouses in mixed marriages in Berlin was actually considerably higher than five to ten percent.
it makes me wonder if the predominant case in most mixed marriages was that the male was Jewish
Yes, according to wikipedia, in about three in four mixed marriages, the husband was Jewish. Some well-known counterexamples were Heinz Rühmann (divorced in 1938), Veit Harlan(!) (in the 1920s), Joachim Gottschalk (suicide in 1941). Hans Albers was not married, but in a long-running relationship.
one would have thought that in a racist dictatorship, beyond merely encouraging divorce, it would have been mandated in almost all cases
This was actually under discussion again and again, but (due to expected opposition from the church?) it was never implemented. Jewish spouses from mixed marriages were actually in some instances deported and killed anyway. And starting in early 1945 all Jews from mixed marriages were supposed to be deported to Theresienstadt.
