As a religious male, I have to say no for sure.
I had two very supportive parents, so did my wife.
So did pretty much everyone (religious) I'm close to, come to think of it.

From my view, there are no statistics to back up your thoughts. It's simply being thrown out there seemingly at random, actually?
