Don’t seems in a lot of cases women are earning more.[/quote]

<sigh> You, clearly, didn't read the articles because they contradict your assertions.

Headline of the first link: [i]Young women are out-earning young men in [b]several [/b]U.S. cities[/i] 
First 3 sentences: [i][b]Women in the United States continue to earn less than men, on average. [/b]Among full-time, year-round workers in 2019, women’s median annual earnings were 82% those of men. The gender wage gap is narrower among younger workers nationally, and the gap varies across geographical areas. In fact, in 22 of 250 U.S. metropolitan areas, women under the age of 30 earn the same amount as or more than their male counterparts, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of Census Bureau data.[/i]

In other words, in 8.8% of the 250 metro areas assessed, women under the age of 30 earned the same amount as or more than their male counterparts.

Headline of the second link: [i]In almost half of opposite-sex marriages in the U.S., women are now earning the same as their husbands — or out-earning them, by an average of $53,000.[/i]

[i]Although men are still the breadwinners in most households, the share of women making just as much or more than their husbands has nearly tripled in the last 50 years, a new Pew Research Center survey has found.[b] Spouses are earning the same income in nearly one-third, or 29%, of opposite-sex marriages, a significant jump from just 11% in 1972. In egalitarian marriages, men and women's earnings are almost identical:[/b] In 2022, the median earnings for wives in such marriages was $60,000, while husbands earned $62,000. [/i]

Headline of the third link: [i][b]More [/b]Wives Now Outearn Their Husbands. They Also Stay Together Longer. The share of marriages with women breadwinners tripled over the last 50 years[/i]

Note that 'more' does not mean 'most'. There's a paywall so I couldn't read the article but I was able to see the sentence:  [i]Marriages in which wives outearn their husbands are not only more common, but less likely to end in divorce than in the past.

Couples married in the late 1960s and 1970s were 70% more likely to divorce when wives earned the same or slightly more than their husbands compared with couples where the husband earned more, according to research from Christine Schwartz and Pilar Gonalons-Pons, sociologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Pennsylvania, respectively. For couples married in the 1990s, however, the divorce rate for those with female breadwinners had fallen to 4% higher than male breadwinners. [/i]

I think it's fairly safe to say the men in marriages where women make more likely feminists and their marriages better.
