I think the # of female doctors has grown much more quickly than the # of male nurses (IIRC most medical students are women now). It would be interesting to compare stats by gender- does a male software engineer marry differently than a female one?
- sgerenser 5y agoYep, I can say with almost 100% certainty there’s a big difference between male and female dating preferences even within the same occupation. For all the talk of feminism and empowerment, women in high status fields like law and medicine are Much less likely to “marry down” to a man in a lower status field than the other way around.
- tharkun__ 5y agoThat's one way to see it. You could also say that men are much less likely to want to marry up (and not be 'the breadwinner' / 'provider).
