[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We tend to think that women using marriage for social mobility is an archaic trope reserved for Jane Austen novels but a quick observation of the social landscape today would prove advantageous marriages are still the norm.

Every single woman I know married “ up.” I don’t think it’s a coincidence.

I’m curious how likely it is for most women to move up socially through education and career alone. [/quote]

Well the type of women who were raised to think a man is a plan/meal ticket…are going to walk that path.

I have  PhD. Some of my friends make more than their husbands, or have stay at home husbands. Some are internationally renowned and have no husband. They definitely did not grow up with the notion that success translates only into income or that you need to hook your wagon into some else’s to succeed.

If we want to evolve as a gender, we need to raise our children in homes where both parents are independent. And both parents contribute to caretaking, home making and financial support. That is what equality looks like. [/quote]
