A woman making 10K and a woman making 100K will both face social pressure against dating a guy making 80% of what they do, since the pressure is about the relevant income and not the total income. So this means that the more women make, the bigger this problem becomes because it drives up what is considered a rich enough guy, even if there wasn't the other problem of the wealth gap growing.
