Hmm. Interesting. People tend to date in their class. Maybe it has something 2 do w having similar goals & upbringing.

Today, economic "class" and values are more closely aligned. It didn't use to necessarily be that way.

Absolutely illogical opinion, the rule is you can’t marry the nurse/secretary reporting into you. There is an entire world of nurses and secretaries.

Actually hypothesis, sexism caused the imbalance of bosses and doctors being men and women being the nurses and secretaries. How about working on fixing that imbalance first and see how inequality is effected before you claim it’s sexism’s fault that things are unequal?

Interesting thought. But I think the effect is marginal. For example, bosses can date other people's secretaries. Elites gonna marry elites because freedom of association, not prohibition of, and I don't think most elites are not so restricted.

Edit: note that I said marry as opposed to "bang casually"....

The reality is that men didn’t have many options other than secretaries or nurses if they were bosses or doctors. Today, women are doctors and bosses, too, creating opportunities for mating that didn’t exist in past. The trend will exacerbate in the future.

Yeah because I suppose an elite couldn’t be normal and meet a nice guy/girl at bookstore or market. They should only pick from their work pool and create uncomfortable situations or conflicts of interest.

No. Charles Murray talks about this. Doctor/nurse and lawyer/secretary marriages were and are across class lines.
-
Yeah, but those relationships are more controversial today than before. You could make the argument that this is another case of women of one group defending their turf against women of another group

It's a byproduct of women not being restricted to jobs as secretaries and nurses. Those women are now also doctors and lawyers.

Also women in some cases use colleges as finishing schools. They find a smart guy, graduate, work a few years, get married, knocked up and stay home for the next 10+ years raising the kids.

It could people just hang around people they have in common. Besides social inequality and class gap is not cause by marriage among elites. It is cause by lack of opportunities to move upward.

I think it's more due to colleges vacuuming up every smart kid they can find. Used to be a smart guy might stay home to man the farm, take over his dad's small business, etc. and marry the cute (but maybe not college-level bright) local girl.

....as well as the diminished expectation that a man will marry the woman he impregnates.

And another observation: those University of Chicago numbers are grim compared to other schools.
