So men are better off single and not working than married, with a family, and working?
They are still better off working vs not working, from a health POV. However, the penalties for divorcing are large enough that being forever single is far less risky.

Possibly. But the trend is showing that a growing number of men are thinking that way. The situation for a young man today is not what it was 35 years ago when I chose marriage and a career. We can’t compare our 20s to their 20s. Totally different world.
No, but they are better off single and supporting themselves than divorced and supporting a woman who hates them.
You are describing the “John Galt” syndrome. I find it extremely interesting that so many of our problems were first identified, described, and their logical end state happened in fictional works, including SiFi, in the late 1950s and early 1960’s.
