Yet one wonders why this article was written to say that more women are single than married? Why the focus on women, specifically? What are they trying to imply?

1) More women lie awake nights worrying about things like this.

2) More women buy the New York Times. ;)

I just assumed that it's because men are so undesirable. As a man, I've gotten so used to the anti-male bias that I expect an article to so slanted. Back to your question, it seems to be trying to encourage women to avoid marriage. It could be an attempt to recruit more single women or simply comfort their own insecurities.
