The article is purposely misleading. At best its entire premise is concluded on one small report that only looks at one source of data. Even the article admits: "To be sure, the parallel movements of economic inequality and marriage inequality do not prove that the former causes the latter." The truth is that there was some correlation always - that makes sense with what I said, which is smarter people are going to do smarter things like marry and make more money - but the extreme difference is today, not 130 years ago. This extreme and growing difference is due to the toxic culture being promoted.
