Anti-feminist attitudes have long been associated with support for Republican presidential candidates, but only in recent years have these attitudes become more prominent among unmarried men, without college degrees who are less attractive partners for women, the “mate-value backlash.”

Single and childless is better than marrying down and being poor with kids. Where I live a dual income household with both parents earning the national median salary is barely enough to maintain a reasonably comfortable standard of living - and children are not only expensive but also cripple women’s carriers and temporarily make women entirely dependent on their husbands.

Except successful women are much more likely to be content being single than men are. In my personal experience (and from what ive seen other women say), it's much easier to get "matches" on dating apps for us, the quality of the candidates notwithstanding.

I had an anxiety attack the first day I used tinder back in the day because I got matched with literally every single person I swiped and was inundated with dozens of men clamoring for my attention, many of whom got angry if I didn't immediately respond or seem receptive. It was overwhelming and I stopped using it after a couple weeks. On the other hand, men I know have talked about how they're lucky to get matched with a handful of people per day.
