Younger women in urban/metro areas are doing significantly better than their male peers economically (higher employment rates and income). This gap is increasing.

Young women are doing worse than their male peers in rural areas economically. This gap is closing.

What implications this has for society at large I can only speculate.

> Overall, about 16% of all young women who are working full time, year-round live in the 22 metros where women are at or above wage parity with men.

Thats only sixteen percent of women. Or put another way, 84% of men still make more than women.

In 22 metro areas.

You’re framing your argument in a way that seems especially combative and antagonistic towards women gaining a level playing field. It’s not a zero sum game, but men will absolutely lose privilege as women even the playing field. There will be cases where women make more, and that’s life. And if women as a whole for a while make more than men, big deal, it’ll eventually even out.
