Bella DePaulo is probably the leading scholar on the social prejudice and discrimination on single individuals. The fact that the author of the article introduces the term "incel" to deal with this extremely negative stereotype in the second paragraph highlights this prejudice. If you're interested in learning more about the ways single individuals are treated unfairly in society, Dr. DePaulo has many articles and books published on the topic.

Any chance you could summarize the prejudice single people experience? I believe you, but it coul save hundreds of people from googling it individually.

I am many years behind the literature/research and do not personally feel qualified to write a short summary on this specific academic's work.

married people are given unofficial/unspoken priority for promotions at a lot of workplaces. there's a lot of reasons for this, not all of them positive for the employee.
