Just look at the common data set for EVERY SINGLE COLLEGE and the male enrollment rate vs the female is sharply lower. You think with the choices these educated men have these days, in todays world they are going to pick up a woman who wants to be financially supported? You will be lucky to settle down with an educated man period. This entire thread is a ghost from the past.

You can’t run around demanding an erasure of gender roles and then expect to be a kept woman. Times have changed.

best comment in this thread but will get pushback.

Yea and even if those high paid men were okay with their wives staying home with kids, they want those kids borne of the most successful genetic pool possible. So you see some highly educated temp SAHMs but they re-enter pretty easily if they want primarily because 1. they were relatively established prior to the hiatus, 2. they don’t take more than the most grueling years off (baby and toddler - all my friends went back before youngest turned 4) and 3. they worked part time as ICs at odd hours to keep their skills fresh and show commitment.
