Women typically make less than men. They routinely marry men who are wealthier than them. These marriages have not magically resulted in gender equality.

Your premise flat out doesn't work, even before we get into how ridiculous this proposal is.

Women typically make less than men. They routinely marry men who are wealthier than them.

Maybe back in the 1950s when a doctor married a nurse and a businessman married his secretary. Nowadays it is far more likely that two doctors will marry, or two business executives.

Instead of the doctor marrying the nurse it's now the surgeon marrying the pediatrician.

People tend to marry others of similar status, not necessarily income level.
