You don't say!
Quote:While the paper doesn't provide direct evidence for why singlehood is a better experience for women relative to romantic relationships, the researchers say there are plenty of avenues for further investigation.
"For example, we know from existing research that in heteronormative relationship structures, women typically take on more than their fair share of domestic and emotional labor," says Hoan. "As well, their sexual pleasure tends to be deprioritized and potentially reduced as a result of the unfair divisions of labor."
Gosh, what a mystery.

Susan Faludi goes into this in Backlash. More than 30 years old now and still topical.
