Hypergamy is mostly a myth, the hold-overs from a bygone era. Today, women often earn as much or more than men. There are more women in college than men. For the most part, except for a small subset of gold-diggers, the only people who care about men earning more than women is men - who still largely find that emasculating.

"Women have been able to close the pay gap with men in several U.S. metropolitan areas, and have surpassed their male counterparts in many cities, according to a new report."

"Most children who grow up in the United States in the 21st century will be raised in households in which all of the adults work.1 They are most likely to be raised by a single working parent or two married parents who are both employed, and only a minority of children will grow up in families with a full-time, stay-at-home parent throughout their childhood."
