[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was the title of an Op-Ed in today's NYT. I won't post it both due to copyright and as part got (unnecessarily) political, but some of it resonated with me as Mom to a girl. It said girls are becoming more and more successful academically and careerwise. But there is a constant longstanding Prince Charming sense that a female should only be with a man who is higher-earning. Since females are eclipsing many males, this leaves a shrinking pool of desirable men everyone is chasing after, who get to set the terms any may be less likely to settle down. The op-ed cites research that a man is most happy with his wife earning 40% of the household income. And may feel anxiety if she outearns him. Therefore, many females and males are left single and alone. [b]Solutions[/b]?[/quote] Lesbianism. Duh. [/quote]
