Dad, how could you make my son miss an entire semester of school? I mean it's not like he's a hot girl, he can't just just bail on his life and set up shop in someone else's

Look at the graphs for the employment rates for men and women atg age 30 by parental income.

Isn't it revealing that men are dignificantly more affected by the parents being married or not?

I mean, wouldn't that imply that a significant (or significantly bigger) portion of parents who is not married treats men much worse?

More variability in men. Men at the top do better than women at the top, but men at the bottom do worse than women at the bottom.
