I just see more sexist hand-wringing from the NY Times. "Women are doing better than men, but this means their dating/marriage prospects are shit. Such injustice women continue to endure!" Even when women are winning, they're the victims.

There's probably a dichotomy created by the fact that men (and society) on average support women, but not the other way around. A woman who is unemployable and not good at anything can at least be a mother or a wife. And even if she's bad at those roles, nobody will judge her or compare her against a man who is homeless (which is what would happen to the woman if the genders were swapped).

When men fail it's obvious. When women fail there are safety nets and a modern "you go girl" culture that sees anything a woman does as positive, essentially by definition.

What is to come out of this new world? “I think women are going to have to abandon the traditional 50-50 everything-must-be-equal feminist mind-set,” Ms. Mundy said, “and learn to value husbands and partners who are becoming more domesticated and supportive.”

In other words, economic inequality is fine as long as it benefits women. Part of me wants to know how many people really think that. But the other part of me is afraid to find out.

“Women here are doing the same jobs as men,” she said. “They are getting paid almost as much or sometimes more and doing the jobs better, and on top of that, women are the ones who have children and who care for children. What’s there for men to do?”

How does she know that the women are doing the jobs better?

Also, men still out-earn women at all age groups. https://www.moneyunder30.com/the-gender-pay-gap-in-the-21st-century So we can't rule out the possibility that single women earning more than single men among people under 30 is just selection bias: i.e., the men with impressive income are all taken. But the women with impressive income are not all taken because men don't assign as much weight to their partner's earning potential as women do. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_preferences

Let me be open about this. Are we redundant as a gender? Are we detrimental to them? Because the article points out how women are doing better job than us AND are taking care of children.
