The traditional and moral pressures men once faced from the church, family and a society that used to malign and penalize the unmarried just aren't there anymore. Men have quietly experienced their own quiet liberation, a rarely discussed repercussion or backlash to the women's movement.
The upward tend in singularity has multiple reasons that are as complex as they are transparent.
