Great idea in theory..
However in practice when we men say that we want something or are tried of X Y Z we get told how either what we want or the things that we are tired of are due to either "Toxic Masculinity" or "The Patriarchy" sometimes even both!

So its never going to happen because for it to happen women / feminists would need to stop blaming men for everything and accept that yes, men have wants, men also have problems, issues etc which need addressing and blaming it all on "The Patriarchy" or "Toxic Masculinity" is not helpful at all..

This sort of analysis is always very basic, which I suspect is because it's always written by very basic people.

They go over earning potential, and then they will dispute how they aren't gold diggers because <reasons> and bla bla sociology and Patriarchy.

What's obviously missing is the larger picture on how we're all getting poorer collectively, how our money's worth less and just how elusive the dream is to have the sort of middle class living standard which was commonplace by the end of last century.

Most women, I wager are dead set on achieving all that, while still wanting to pretend things are pretty much as they used to be.

Men however are usually much more attuned to grand impending disaster. We see it coming a mile away, and we do all the mental preparations like "perhaps I can make do with less if I...". Unlike most women, we're always prepared of losing and having to let go.

So yes, women are mainly after the wallet but no, it isn't gold digging per se. It's mainly an entitlement of getting to live with your head in the clouds. Something which they aren't even aware of most of the time.

But men don't pair up with women for their money, so.......
