Because there is too much promiscuity. That's the reason.

There's less promiscuity now than there was a generation ago.

This isn’t true at at all.

But it is true. Young people are having less sex overall. In 2021, over 20 percent of males under 35 reported not having had sex in the past year, and 19 percent of females of the same age group; in 2008, those groups' numbers were 8 and 7 percent, respectively.

Things like teen pregnancies are down when compared to the 80s and 90s. Among female teens, birth rates have gone down 77% in the past 30 years. In 1991, an estimated one-quarter of all 15-year-olds were to have a birth before they reached age 20. And this declined to 6% in 2021.

With all the crap degrees out there maybe it evens out. If females get more easy studies majors and unskilled, low paying jobs, does their degree really matter?

They don't. No idea what you are saying here.

Weird post. And you're definitely not a woman. More like Russian bot incel, but I digress.

There will likely just be more single moms by choice and society will shift to be more accommodating of this.

Who cares. It all works out. And- gasp- they’re a whole 7.8B people outside your USA bubble.

Go with the trad school man who works hard, likes kids, coaches sports, runs a business.
Plumbers, GCs, electricians, etc all run apprenticeship models and make a lot of money and can craft their hours on or off. And have great tax advisors writing off the $500k pick ups, home office, etc.

Open your eyes Op.

I don’t want to marry a “trad” man.

Cool. Maybe a man absentminded professor would would better suit you and your ocd spelling for DCUM.

Similar to some doctor tracks, it appeals to people who find tangible results rewarding.

The plumbers we call are Korean owned family company, make $200-500/ a call and fix and bring a 20 something apprentice, work 8am to 4pm, are wells pike, polite and fair. And fix things right.

But with the woman educated and thus making money she also wants an emotionally-supportive partner. Not just a financial provider like your post suggests.

The post says nothing negative or about lack of “emotional support.” If anything having time at 4pm to coach a kids sport is awesome. Plus make own hours.
And if you think overeducated heterosexual bankers, litigators, politicians, hedge funders are hitting it out if the park with emotional support for their wife, you’d better put your brain back in your skull and think again.

I think that's all fine however there aren't that many men willing to own their own business and then you run the risk of no one monitoring them. Where they go. What they do. How much marketing they do to keep the business running. This idea that every trade man is some clean cut guy who isn't going to do you wrong is nonsense.
