[quote=Anonymous]I think the stigma around gold digging developed centuries ago as a way to keep wealth in the hands of men and within certain families. Men from wealthy families married women from wealthy families; if they married women who were poor, that wealth would be diluted. So poor women who went after wealthy men were seen as “gold diggers” (or whatever the equivalent was back then). But of course it was fine for men to be “shallow” and want beautiful women, so they could have affairs and sleep around. And while men may have provided some financial help to those women, the women had no right to any of that wealth, even if that had children from the man. Present day, women are still criticized for being gold diggers to prevent them from acquiring resources, and men get a pass for only dating/marrying attractive women. [/quote]
