women entering the workplace created destroyed our society, economic independence encouraged women to seek out high status/higher earning men in an effort to find men who were "above" them socially/economically, this is a common theme, women wanna be with someone who makes more money than them
this preference isn't new, women naturally want someone who provides, but as women entered the workplace and became economically independent man they were comfortable "settling" for became much wealthier and more attractive. financial dependence on men forced women to settle for for someone "lower status" out of necessity
in addition during the 1960s less wealthy men were completely priced out of the marriage market (read this btw (https://avalonlibrary.net/ebooks/Ch...t - The State of White America, 1960-2010.pdf) the standards of women among the lower, middle and upper class grew greatly, while only the upper class men standards grew close to as much as the women, basically as the economic status of women rise there standards rise exponentially more than men to meet there new status.
this is all a big cycle, women enter the workforce, gain economic independence, express there naturally hypergamous tendencies (fuck around), less "acceptable" men are available, marriage rates fall, women stay single and in the workplace, repeat
"We argue that this pattern is best explained by gender identity norms, which induce an aversion to a situation where the wife earns more than her husband. We present evidence that this aversion also impacts marriage formation, the wife’s labor force participation, the wife’s income conditional on working, marriage satisfaction, likelihood of divorce, and the division of home production. Within marriage markets, when a randomly chosen woman becomes more likely to earn more than a randomly chosen man, marriage rates decline."
