“…There is some suggestion that these traditional attitudes are more prevalent among southern men than women (South, 1993). Those in the far West have been in the forefront of many family-related changes, particularly the increase in divorce, based, perhaps, on the higher levels of support for individualistic behavior in that region (Campbell, 1978). However, Trent and South (1992) find that those living in the North are less disapproving of nonmarital fertility than those living in the West.…”

In the 1950s, when unmarried men and women became parents, the double standard stigmatized women more than men. With the rise in egalitarianism and approval of sex outside of marriage, however, attitudes may have changed so that people view unmarried parenthood by men and women similarly or even stigmatize men. This paper contributes to studies of single parenthood by examining acceptance of unmarried parenthood for men versus women. Using data from the National Survey of Families and Households (1992)(1993)(1994), we show that there is somewhat greater acceptance of single mothers than single fathers, and women are more accepting than men of single mothers. There is some indication that there may be greater approval over time, given that younger individuals and those who experienced family disruption as children are more accepting of single parenthood. However, there is great variation in attitudes by race, religious participation, and region.

“…Finally, despite overall convergence, regional differences in the United States remain in a wide range of family‐related attitudes. The South often appears the most familistic, although there is some suggestion that this is more true for men than for women (South 1993); and those in the far West have been in the forefront of many family‐related changes, particularly the increase in divorce, based, perhaps, on the higher levels of support for individualistic behavior in that region (Campbell 1978). Given this heterogeneity, our analysis of the importance of family roles will control for these factors.…”

Do Men “Need” A Spouse More Than Women?: Perceptions of The Importance of Marriage for Men and Women

This study examines how important men and women feel marriage is for men and for women. Using data from the National Survey of Families and Households, we find that both men and women feel that men need to be married more than women do. Women are more likely than men to think that both men and women can have satisfying lives without marriage, but they are also more likely to think that only women can have satisfying lives without marriage. Younger, more educated people are less likely to emphasize marriage. On the other hand, religious people and those who are married with children are particularly likely to think that neither men nor women can have satisfying lives without marriage.
