I just finished Rob Henderson's book; I'll cut him a little slack given his particularly egregious experience with his bio (absent) and adoptive (cut off contact out of spite) fathers. But you're right about the general point.
Regarding Ryan Burge's piece: I think he's drawing conclusions that aren't supported by the data he cites. On marriage, he doesn't adjust for wives preferring slightly older husbands on average; on parenthood, the dataset he cites is very unclear whether a response indicates that a man 1) doesn't have kids or 2) has kids but doesn't have custody of them. Which makes it dubious to use as the basis for the conclusion that men aren't hitting milestones in adulthood.
