USAssa erityisesti rikkaat menevät naimisiin. Jos se on siis keino alistaa naisia niin tekevät sen itselleen. Varmaan ottavat miehen nimenkin

Itse asiassa kaikilla muilla asiat ovat paljonkin muuttuneet 50-luvusta paitsi yliopistokoulutetuilla naisilla. Edelleen sama 70% menee naimisiin kuin 50-luvullakin ja yksinhuoltajuuskaan ei ole heidän kohdallaan yleistynyt. Nämä naiset ilmeisesti pääsevät hyviin naimiisin.

Why Is Marriage Thriving Among (and Only Among) the Affluent?

When it comes to marriage, divorce, and single motherhood, the 1950s never ended for college-educated Americans, and for college-educated women in particular.

According to the researchers Shelly Lundberg, of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Robert Pollak, of Washington University in St. Louis, the share of young college-graduate white women who were married in 2010 was a little over 70 percent—almost exactly the same as it was in 1950. College-educated white women are, moreover, half as likely as other women to be divorced, according to Steven Martin of the University of Maryland, and they are also refusing single motherhood. Fewer than 9 percent of women with a bachelor’s degree or more had an unwed birth in 2011—a level barely higher than what it was for all women in 1950.
