I will however note that it links to an actually good piece, from some years ago, that doesn't interpret every financial difficulty in the world as evidence of active discrimination against single people, and focuses on the things which actually do disproportionately benefit married people: https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/01/the-high-price-of-being-single-in-america/267043/ whereas the Vox piece muddies the water so thoroughly it's just a mess. (The Atlantic article makes it clear that a lot of these negative factors apply to single women but not so much to single men, who seem to actually financially benefit in some areas from being single; they write that off as "We can't say why the disparities exist between unmarried men and women.")
