I think single "parents" probably hides the ball a bit. It's usually single mothers. I suspect part of the reason why boys are more delicate is the childhood is a matriarchy. Mom does all the childcare, daycare providers, teachers, babysitters, etc are all women. Men really need to break into childcare, but so often when they do it's viewed with suspicion.

I also suspect that the type of parents who get married are substantially different than those who don't and shoving those parents into marriages won't be a panacea.
