Schlafly: Increase Pay Gap So Women Can Find ‘Suitable’ Husbands
You see, according to Ms. Schlafly, women want to earn less than men. And if women and men make the same money, women won’t be able to find a ‘suitable” mate.
While women prefer to HAVE a higher-earning partner, men generally prefer to BE the higher-earning partner in a relationship. This simple but profound difference between the sexes has powerful consequences for the so-called pay gap.
Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate.
Obviously, I’m not saying women won’t date or marry a lower-earning men, only that they probably prefer not to. If a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all.
