female hypergamy.
it is often portrayed that women have the difficult choice between career and family.
That is a false dicotomy, theoretically there's a 3rd factor to play with. Just like male primary breadwinners who can manage both career and family, all they need is a woman by his side who's willing to be the primary caregiver.
The problem arises that the male primary caregiver role is heavily stigmatized in society, even more so than career oriented females.
They are low social status males.
there is a trifecta of:
>having a great career vs. having a tightknit loving family vs. having a high status male husband
a woman can only choose 2 out of 3.
If a woman
>1) really wanted to be a surgeon or senior executive in a company, working 50+ hours a week and making well into >100K salary, but
>2) also really wanted a tightknit loving family with children that aren't just being raised by nannys, daycare, or worse - an Ipad, with barely present parents,
she'd be much more likely to find a partner who can help her achieve both goals at once amongst emotionally sensitive and caring part-time teaching aides making <35K a year that are really good with kids and wouldn't mind being stay-at-home-dads, rather than her high status male peers or superiors she meets in her senior management or surgeon job.
Only those men aren't chads, and females are HEAVILY social perception focused.
In the end they are still trapped by female hypergamy mindset.
They cannot help but want to be seen with high status males, even if it is to her personal detriment, and they cannot help desiring being dominated (and impregnated) by a strong alpha male.
And sadly thats probably just programmed biology rather than learned behavior.
