>Previously, you used to see much more "mixing" in the cases of, for example, a businessman marrying his secretary or a doctor marrying a nurse. Of course, there is a whole separate discussion about the power dynamics in those situations.
Anti-sexual harassment training, and more broadly the discouraging of socialization between men and women, has reduced the opportunity for men and women to marry. The flip side of the leering male executive no longer being able to chase his secretary around a desk to try to pinch her on the butt is another executive not being able to politely court the secretary he is in love with (and vice versa).
