As much as I do enjoy the idea of marriage it's obviously a trap for women, men risk loosing their money and some yes their children doesn't change the fact that women are more likely to fear for their lives and lives of their children when they get married. Men are much more likely to leave or cheat on their spouse if they're terminally ill. Women do all the housework plus go to work and I almost never hear women telling their husband "if you gain __ibs we're getting a divorce". In certain communities we EXPECT men to cheat and it's ok because men make mistakes.

Yes, all that is statistically true. It is also true that men will do those things, and worse, to women even without marriage. Not being married won't save you. Something like 80% of unmarried men completely abandon the children they fathered, taking all the potential resources that child would have access to with him. Married men not by a long shot. Having children without access to plentiful resources (ie $) is more the trap for women.
