    You have to laugh: the gap between young men and women who said they hadn't had sex in the last year - which launched a thousand thinkpieces on incels and power laws in online dating and hookup culture - has been erased and women have overtaken men. https://ifstudies.org/blog/more-faith-less-sex-why-are-so-many-unmarried-young-adults-not-having-sex …pic.twitter.com/NtHSjywyiL

        Good piece from @lymanstoneky too noting that the lion's share of the change seems to be driven by religiously devout people, not any of the stuff that's usually focused on.

        Social policy people, welcome to the first law of financial journalism: if your piece is based on a single data series it will reverse as soon as you've written about it.

        People were positing weird theories to explain the gap based on asymmetry, but it doesn't really work given that most people are just normally paired off.
