> If I understood you correctly, you suggest that parents of daughters divorce more often because the daughter was born to a couple of stressed parents

I don't. I was specifically responding to yellowbeard's comment, which read:

> Childless parents as a result of self aborting male fetuses would not show up in the study.

Yellowbeard provided one explanation for the fact that, despite male fetuses being more likely to self-abort, there is no difference between divorce stats of young male and female children. My response said why that explanation was wrong. I wasn't saying that the self-abortion delta affects divorce ratios, only that it might.

(Indeed, I do expect that it does have an effect, but that that effect is miniscule and unlikely to be measurable.)
