Single women and the social class

Before modern times the relationship dynamics between men and women were largely based on money. Women were usually not allowed to work or gain their own wealth, so they had to marry as rich as possible. Often marriages were planned way before the couple who married even knew anything about it, but in some western countries women could more or less choose their husband. Without marriage a woman was destined to become poor, a prostitute or something alike.

After World War 2 there was a dramatic change breaking the traditional relationship practice. For the first time in human history women were given equal rights to work, vote etc. At first the change was slow, because men still held their positions in leadership of political career, schools, companies and so on. But this changed eventually and today there are women in all areas of the society from java programmers to politicians.

However, there was another change that came along with equal rights. The influx of women to jobs practically doubled the competition to get one. In this competition men have been on the losing side and this has lead to a baffling outcome where a large group of men have become lower class people while women have increased their social class status which they already had based on their sexual appearance.

The social class is poorly understood compared to how important it is. We learn in school that it is a way to speak about poor, middle class and rich people, which are the usual three levels of class. Yet class is more than that, it’s also an internal feature that encompasses the sophistication of a person. You can have a lot of money, but still be less “classy” compared to someone who is poor but intelligent, or if a woman, beautiful.

The natural result of all this is that birth rates of western countries have been in dramatic decline, notably in the most equal nordic countries. Since women outclassed men by a large margin they can’t find men who match their class. There simply aren’t enough men of higher social class for these women, so they stay single. This behaviour comes from the internal “sense” of choosing your partner and I think only few predicted this when the equal rights were proposed.

The consequences of this “happening” are slowly becoming clear, because statistics don’t lie. The reason there is not much discussion about this is that it’s quite embarrassing to admit how relationships actually work and that they were never based on more than economic survival. If you are a researcher it’s unlikely you can even talk anything about this without losing your career, because the mainstream narrative tells that women and men are equal and there is nothing special going on.

Then again, it’s difficult to deny the truth. Women rather stay single and hope that some day they will find the tall, handsome rich man of their own social class. No one seemed to realize that by making men poor and low class they would lose an important advantage they had in the cruel market of sexual relationships. It’s hard to tell when we understand this and maybe try to do something about it, but this weird concept of “equality” has condemned a considerable amount of people to a lonely life without love and sexual fulfillment.
