Being a good father has nothing to do with divorce. I know plenty of couples who are divorced and the fathers aren't any less fatherly as married couples. In fact, I know a father or 2 who are married and they're far from father of the year.
I'm sorry, but 70 men is not a fair enough sampling given the number of fathers around the world.
And fwiw, I did read the paper and it states:
Charles Snowdon, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, points out that the paper’s own statistics show testes size explains only a fraction of the variation in paternal care. “There are lots of other variables that affect fatherhood,” he says, citing as examples social environment and prior experience looking after younger siblings when the men were children themselves"
70? I wouldn't write a freshman research on fashion opinions based on only 70 responses; let alone something as serious as fatherhood.
In the spirit of this ground breaking research, I decided to engage in some research as well. I was able to identify 70 fathers from my FB page who were willing to be totally candid and objective (PLS NOTE: Gonad size and number were immaterial in this study).
Results: 99.9% of respondents emphatically stated that they would rather take a swift kick in the stones over having to sit through an entire episode of Dancing With The Stars.
