Thanks for the post, but we are a long way from 50-50 parenting. Men still get routinely trashed in divorce court. Augustine Kposawa found that the male suicide risk increases 8 times after divorce, but remains unchanged for women.
Please check with James L. Nuzzo here on Substack. He may have more research on that.
As for Augustine Kposawa’s findings: he originally found that divorce doubles a man’s risk of suicide, and after taking a second look, he upped the male risk to eight times.
Frank, Kposawa’s is from more than 20 years ago - in that time our culture has changed DRAMATICALLY, including that marriage rates are lower, in part because divorce were so hard on men (my theory). However, that is no longer true.

Thanks for commenting.
That is what social media tells us but we have no data to support your thesis, so cannot claim that definitively.

Thank you, Emma, I will check with James to see if he has research in this area.
