In the US, this is the first generation where economical equals are marrying each other
Basically the idea of a man with stability marrying a woman who is seeking stability is now false, replaced by two upper middle class college educated people that are prospering in their careers
Therefore, the new progressive and self aware observation is how this increases inequality much greater than the previous iteration of inequality (where women weren’t in university or the professional workforce). Ironic, but worth paying attention to. I find it interesting to think about. Marrying into wealth/stability is now a less reliable option despite our cultural predilections and assumptions not really catching up.
