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.

I never said they weren't on their side, I was just trying to promote such action and try to bridge the gap with some of the more misogynistic elements on here. You have too much anger built up, but hey so does most every other person here.
In my highly subjective opinion it does seem like misandry has increased dramatically, and while true feminists undoubtedly would have sympathy for abused men I haven't seen them working together. If the they had more cooperation they could create a more unified front that would prevent people from reacting so badly simply because they feel their gender is under attack.
Your reaction is a good example, you accuse me of being ignorant and/or an asshole not because I did anything to you but because I apparently don't know all the details about how the two general groups already work together. That is pretty fucked up, especially since I was trying to bring people together instead of split them up and cause anger :P
