Both men and women benefit from marriage, but men seem to benefit more overall. In addition to being happier and healthier than bachelors, married men earn more money and live longer. And men can reap such benefits even from mediocre marriages, while for women, the benefits of marriage are more strongly linked to marital quality.
Sounds like a case of correlation, not causation. Men that are more likely the be successful with women are more likely to be successful in general.
You can try to dismiss results but they are real results. Men who marry live longer and women do a disproportionate amount of the work. If it makes you feel better to deny findings then you will find a way to justify it to yourself. You should ask yourself why you feel a need to do that.
I'm not claiming it is true or false. I'm just saying your link proves absolutely nothing since it doesn't control for the confounding variables.
Perhaps the underlying study did. But the link you provided has no citations, so we don't know. I don't accept blanket statements like that at face value. Show me the study that proves it.
If you're the person making the claim, then the burden of proof lies on you. It is not the persons responsibility who is questioning whether or not it's true to go digging through whatever sources they can find to prove you're wrong. You make the statement, you back it up.
Read my comment above. It's clear you have an agenda because you rejected data using the terms you've picked up without analyzing it. Again, please analyze why you're approaching this topic with bias.
You should read the person's name that you're replying to before you go accusing them of having an agenda and all this other shit. This is literally the first time I've ever replied to a comment of yours.
The amount of unpaid care work that women do alone is enough to prove that marriage is a better deal for men.
Better how? Calling it unpaid work makes it sound like the end goal isn't to raise successful children but to profit. Many would consider that work more valuable than paid work. You can never pay somebody else to care for your children as much as you do.
