The 'price' of sex is plummeting

Pretty good summary at the link.  The key dimension that is ignored is the radical shift in the commanding heights of the economy from productive sectors to state subsidized, bureaucratic ones and the concomitant rise in a class of increasingly female Mandarins who are good at academic tasks.  Add that to a stunningly brutal criminal justice system that has tagged almost 50 million adults, mostly men with the crippling tag 'felon' for things that used to be misdemeanors and the result is a shortage of marriageable males.  And that leads desperate young women to do things that their 'liberated' mothers never would have consented to.

It's all so progressive.  And feminist.
