This comment gave me the information I’m looking for, so I don’t want to keep dragging people through it. Please don’t feel obligated to reply further!
That said, I did quickly look up some data on this bit:
But remember that you already conditioned on ‘married couples without kids’. My guess would be that in the subset of man-woman married couples without kids, the man being the exclusive breadwinner is a lot less common than in the set of all man-woman married couples.
… so I figured I’d drop it in the thread.
When interpreting these numbers, bear in mind that many couples with no kids probably intend to have kids in the not-too-distant future, so the discrepancy shown between “no children” and 1+ children is probably somewhat smaller than the underlying discrepancy of interest (which pushes marginally more in favor of Lucius’ guess).
