Forbes posts and then pulls controversial article about marriage

But there was no intention here to present it right. Maybe I just never see them, but these statstics and whatnot never seem to be presented with the intention to highlight potential pitfalls and perhaps help avoid them. They're presented as neener neener gotcha "proof" that working women are responsible for society's ills. Which always seems to go over gangbusters because it appears to confirm what so many already believe.

So I need to quit my job now or remain forever single. Bummer.

Which I acknowledged. But considering that it's pretty much a given that the public presentation of such studies are a load of crap, if it's something that interests me I find it no trick to look right through the b.s. and do what I can to find details on the actual study, not just read an article published about the study.

This guy's sensationalist headline was deservedly thrown out. But that doesn't mean the study itself doesn't have some valid points to glean. No sense throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

I was just about to post basically the same thing. I'm not a fan of reading opinions, so all I see is whatever information the article provides. I guess that prevents me from getting mad at stuff like this. Like Alex says - nothing new under the sun.
