source for what specifically? more family support? compare the support for parents available in the US vs most other countries in the world, in particular the EU and read the comments here. equality between men and women? again, there is plenty of evidence worldwide that we have not achieved that. not by a long shot. the only thing that is not self-evident is the relationship between religious conservatism and divorce. that's one i am not sure about myself. but it is at least supported by a few others here. here is one study supporting that point: https://www.asanet.org/women-more-likely-men-initiate-divorces-not-non-marital-breakups/ https://www.asanet.org/women-more-likely-men-initiate-divorc... results support the feminist assertion that some women experience heterosexual marriage as oppressive or uncomfortable. “I think that marriage as an institution has been a little bit slow to catch up with expectations for gender equality,”

  I am not arguing with you; I am simply pointing out the flaws in your previous argument.

    I am not arguing with you reading emotions in text messages being difficult as it is, it would be helpful to point that out up front. it helps avoid a wrong reading. to me these points are more or less self evident, but it is fair to point out that not everyone may see it that way, so thanks for prompting me to elaborate.

      I appreciate your perspective, although I must express my continued disagreement. It is evident that I perceive a bias in the source material. (i love arguing)

        with which point though? i admit that the for last one about divorces caused by lack of equality more evidence would be good. but the other two are solid. if you have a different opinion on those, i'd love to hear it.

        you said it yourself; The statement about divorces caused by a lack of equality lacks evidence.
