"However to argue that it's easier to raise a child as a single mother as opposed to as one half of a partnership is silly."


Isn't that your statement? That holds a lot of criticism in the room against single mothers if you don't know. And you are still insisting men don't create more burden in marriage than women when you are seeing the stats online. You are defending an exciting sexist ideology that discredit women. Period.

The fact that you are a man doesn't mean you should defend arguments about men. Gosh! Do you think women like divorcing their husbands? Do even know divorce drains people financially and otherwise? If men were putting in as much effort as women do, we won't divorce rate as high as it is.

Yes! Having a partner is an extra burden. However, most men don't share that burden with women in marriage. And that is the reality. Try joining askmen and askwomen subreddit groups and see for yourself.
