More educated women have higher marriage rates.
I'm sympathetic on a societal level to the broader goal- we do not need more BA's in psychology. But it's very obviously not the solution to this specific problem.

'Good dads only marry their daughters off to men they actually want to marry' is a trope from the literal Viking sagas, it's very old. The indulgent father who can't bring himself to marry off his daughter against her will pops up in Greek mythology multiple times, as well, usually with the daughter setting some impossible task for her suitors that, of course, the hero meets through some combination of superhuman abilities, loophole abuse, and divine assistance.

Ah, but does that track female LFPR? I believe the fifties actually represent a long term minimum of female LFPR, due to rising male incomes meaning fewer women had to work. Statistically rosie the riveter(to the extent that she existed to begin with; she's greatly exaggerated) went back to being a housewife and it was her daughters, not her, that began entering the workforce on a more permanent basis.

The 1960's were not the sexual revolution. They were when people stopped pretending the sexual revolution hadn't happened. This is sociologically very normal; now-common behavior is often theoretically taboo for a generation or two after it becomes normalized.
The real sexual revolution was with the flappers. It was all hugely controversial at the time and society made a collective decision to pretend it wasn't happening but let it go through- as it so often does.

He also said ‘people of colour’, so I suspect he was genuinely delusional in a common form of Trump derangement syndrome.

Suicides probably less than murders, but improved trauma care and a switch to smaller bullets was a big part of the declining murder rate.

Most red Americans have pistols but that’s not exactly new, and teens are much more likely to have access to the household shotgun than to a handgun or AR-15.

Firearms and youth alcohol use were more common in the fifties, not less.

The clear American consensus as long as I can remember has been that 16 is a pretty hard line for staying home alone for more than a day.

Right, but for obvious biological reasons, caring for a nine and eleven year old for extended periods of time was not the usual task for premodern teen mothers, and is very different from caring for children under five.

‘Massage therapist’ is a regulated term- at least by themselves- and they claim to be actual medical professionals- albeit that medicine is referrals from chiropractors to handle whatever crap is too woo-woo for him.
You’re thinking of masseuses.

No, I don’t know what you mean- Brazilians pass for natives pretty well.

All the books the author read feature a difficult mother-daughter relationship, with the author giving a hilarious quote of "Chinese mothers spent a thousand years binding their daughters’ feet, so maybe there is some deep need to torture their female offspring, which can nowadays only find an outlet in forcing them into piano lessons and telling them they are getting fat. "
The oriental culture is being mean to your children to push harder for better results. This tends to strain the parental relationship and it tends to be harder on mom when she has difficulty with her daughters than her sons.

The mainstream Republican Party is no antisemitic, this isn’t controversial- they’re pretty hardline anti-anti-Semitic.

Ethnic supremacist parties, like most of the Israeli mainstream, are pretty uncontroversially racist.
Ultraconservative religion tends to push average age at marriage down for men as well as women, because 'no premarital sex' is a heck of a motivator for twenty-one year old young men.
