are dudes really upset over this? grow up! jesus.
maybe instead of judging the individual we should look at how traditional societal expectations about gender interact with modern capitalist society and realize that what may have worked to some degree 100 years ago can no longer work today
Not because there's a shortage of consumer goods or real estate or daylight hours. Because there's a shrinking pool of gainful employment and steadily rising costs of living. These are entirely engineered problems, with low wage service sector and gig-work jobs eclipsing higher wage jobs that can sustain a household on a single income.
Yeah lmao people with mental health issues should just get over it
This study doesn't actually have the data to conclude that. It could simply be these relationships are highly correlated with people who are secure enough to know that seeking therapy is healthy.
More like their "provider status" is now poof & women will discard them for an even higher earning husbands
Isn't half the problem that "higher earning husbands" are in increasingly short supply?
Are we predicting a future of patriarchal mega-earners cultivating harems of middle-income working professionals? Or will the skyrocketing cost of living just going to turn the Surplus Males into fodder for our next generation of foreign wars, while an increasing population of lesbians fills in all the office jobs at depressed professional wages?
Why are high-earning men in short supply ?
There's a shortage of high paying jobs, for starters.
Why is there a shortage ?
Not enough employers offering high wages
