Reminds me of the study from a a few years back that found women are looking for husbands with an income 58% higher than available men who generally are "economically unattractive". With women now being more educated than men, this issue is only going to get worse. Modern women expecting a traditional relationship simply isn't possible on a societal level. Acknowledging the downsides, or at the very least challenges, of women's empowerment still seems to be a taboo subject.

Caveat, education itself isn't necessarily a problem. Men still go to the more lucrative fields far more often than women, and there are many ways to earn a higher income than what most women end up studying earn.

The real problem is continuously pushing women into a fast lane to get these high-paying jobs and handing other freebies in the name of some warped sense of justice, at the cost of younger men. The STEM paradox exists for a reason, and its not because 2nd/3rd world women love IT a whole lot more than 1st world innately.
