>The idea is that women have less access to various support networks that men do

Source? Is there a rigorous definition of a support network, and some statistics showing that women have less access to them?

Convenient.

Where do they suggest a rigorous definition of a support group in that article?

So wait, let me get this straight

'I want an example of a study with data'

'here you go'

'well, well, well isn't that just convenient'

From here it feels like you're not approaching this argument in good faith.

They cover their methodology pretty clearly.

I don't think you could have gotten that less straight. What is convenient is that many definitions exist, so a convenient one can be chosen based on its suitability for making a particular argument at a particular time.

>They cover their methodology pretty clearly.

OK, but where do they suggest a rigorous definition of a support network, which is what I asked about?
