>>> I feel like the so-called "modern woman" was sold a bill of goods when they were told "What's good for goose is good for gander". This is simply not true.

I think the modern woman has realized that a good marriage is better than being single, but being single is better than a bad marriage. Plenty of health studies have been performed that show this: health outcomes are better for women in a good marriage, and worse for women in a bad marriage [1]. Why trap yourself in a bad marriage if it's going to kill you?
