Single people are routinely characterized more negatively than married people. Married people are much more likely to be considered kind or giving than are singles. Singles therefore put up with discrimination. The unusual thing about this is that single people appear unaware of the negativity directed against them, or even feel the negativity is warranted! It is thought that negativity toward singles might be in the service of glorifying the institution of marriage.
