This won't sound very PC, but despite all the bullshit about equality, men need to be better than women. Women demand that men are better than women. If we are going to end up with a situation where women have higher income potentials than men, nobody will be happy. Women will feel like they cannot find anyone suitable and men will feel like they are inadequate.

You're right on this one, and I hope you don't see mass downvotes for this.

Men are physically stronger and more athletic on average, and it's so extreme that hilarious stories like this [1] come out when top-tier female athletes try to compete against men in some sports. Woman simply do not want to be working the same kind of manual labor jobs at the rate that that men have for this reason, and it would be extremely bad for society if we attempted to fix this "inequality".

But it's even more pronounced in dating/sexual patterns. Most women do not want to be "dominant" and this lack of "dominant" women is a huge problem for men who consider themselves to be "submissive". It's a very talked about issue for men in BDSM communities. And it's even more well known how a majority of women find it very hot to be "dominated" e.g. lightly choked [2]. Women simply will not prefer a society where men on average are not the "dominant" gender, at least in key aspects of society such as the bedroom or in labor intensive work.

It is also true of incomes which is mostly what I was talking about. Women strongly prefer men with higher earning potential than themselves, and this preference increases as financial incomes of women increase.[1]

A society where women cannot find husbands with higher earning potentials would create a marriage crisis.
