Hypergamy and the collapse of the 'marriageable' man.

It is no secret that women want to 'marry up'.  But with a quarter of men defined as 'criminals' by our feminized society the number of men who are graduating college and getting the types of wealth and status that women want is collapsing - it's at 40% of all college grads and falling right now.  The result is functional polygamy - in the African American community, where the collapse is complete, a relatively small number of high status men sire a large proportion of the children - lawless polygamy.  Among the chock full of education elites, frustrated or lesbian women simply go to the sperm bank where they can buy genetics the way that cattle breeders do.  And they all want tall, blonde, blue eyed with high SATs.  You know, the master race.

In a word, polygamy.  Ain't our modern social democracy grand?  Hattip Instapundit

SEX ON CAMPUS, and the implications of female hypergamy. “As just about everyone (from Dennis Prager to pickup artists) has figured out by now, women tend to want men of high status, men they look up to — literally, in terms of height, and figuratively, in terms of social standing, income, and education. If women systematically outpace men on these status markers — as they are beginning to — they will have to compete for men they deem suitable at a less-than-even ratio. There’s nothing we can do about this that I can think of, but it will not be good for marriage.”
