As the number of highly educated women has increased in recent decades, the chances of "marrying up" have increased significantly for men and decreased for women, according to a new study led by a University of Kansas sociologist.
"The pattern of marriage and its economic consequences have changed over time," said lead author ChangHwan Kim, associate professor of sociology. "Now women are more likely to get married to a less-educated man. What is the consequence of this?"
Kim's co-authored the study with Arthur Sakamoto of Texas A&M University, and the journal Demography recently published their findings. They examined gender-specific changes in the total financial return to education among people of prime working ages, 35 to 44 years old, using U.S. Census data from 1990 and 2000 and the 2009-2011 American Community Survey.
Your dreams of finding a Sugar Momma may finally come true.

That would depend on the feminist, since that group is not a hivemind. Some of them say that domestic violence against men shouldn't happen but that it isn't a very important issue because domestic violence against women is typically more severe and we live in a patriarchy. Others encourage violence against males or just laugh at it. Most consider domestic violence against men to be a serious issue.

There's at least 3 completely different and incompatible groups that claim the titel 'feminism'
there's the old school 'we want equal rights' (job mostly done in the west, and the areas that are still unequal are mostly, reproductive rights, divorce proceedings, and army duty are in the womens favor)
there's the idiotic 'we want equal outcomes' that actively supports things like affirmative action which are the very antithesis of equal rights
and then theres' the very vocal, but comparatively small group of 'radical feminists' that want's to get rid of men altogether, or at least heavily suppress them
a lot of the confusion disagreement is in arguments where person A has the first definition of feminist, and person B the 2nd or 3th definition
