"Kearney says she's not advocating that children live in a household filled with marital tension or where parents are unhappy or mistreating each other. As an economist, she sees marriage as a long-term contract between two individuals to pool their resources and share household responsibilities, including raising children. Two is greater than one. The genders of the parents are irrelevant."
- langsoul-com 3y agoThe gender is irrelevant part is technically true, if the argument was 2 > 1. But deeper down, it does matter. The care a father VS mother gives is entirely different.
