Remember DCUM isn’t representative of real life. Most of the people I know don’t even know who Hilaria Baldwin or Priyanka Chopra are, let alone care what they do.
Priyanka Chopra married down. She’s not a good example here.

I don't dislike them for "marrying well" -- I hope everyone who wants a partner finds a good one. I dislike them for being obnoxious about how their marriage offers them more economic power than other women they know. It's a fundamentally misogynist attitude and is just gross.
There was a woman in another thread recently who explained that her she didn't have to work and was able to travel extensively with her husband when he traveled on business, and how that made another woman jealous. And then she said a bunch of snide stuff about how that woman was miserable in her job and was probably making her husband miserable too. It was just incredibly judgmental and smug. I can't stand women like that. If you are fortunate in who you married, be thankful for your good fortune. Acting smug makes you look so small and petty.

To me I don't care if they married for money or not, or because they are kind or supportive or funny or handsome. That's your business.
What bugs me is when women speak and behave as though marrying a man with good qualities is evidence that they are more deserving. This is as bad when you're talking about wealth as kindness. Does any woman deserve an unkind partner? Does anyone deserve to struggle financially? To have an unsupportive partner? No. No one deserves that.
So when women act like their husbands are rewards or prizes for "winning", it irks me. I know amazing women who have had to leave abusive relationships, who have married men with gambling problems or mental health issues that didn't emerge until years later, who turned out to have controlling or abusive family members that they are now stuck with. Those women didn't deserve any of that -- it's just life sometimes.
If you married "well", whatever that means to you, count your blessings and shut your mouth. You got lucky and if you don't see that, better watch out for when bad luck sneaks up on you too.

2. I certainly don't hate women who married well, but I do think it's foolish for a woman not to have her own money, whether from her family, her work, etc.
