This part sounded familiar: "When Ephesians 5 is read in its short form, the congregation hears only about the husband laying down his life for his wife, giving the impression that husbands have duties toward their wives but wives have no corresponding duties toward their husbands. Young traditional-leaning Catholics see this for the scam that it is."
Women marrying down/lack of men at HBCUs are related subjects. Although broadly women are more likely to attend college than men, the gap is biggest with blacks, then Latinos, then whites, then Asians (the same order in a variety of racial metrics). The real question is if this difference means people are marrying outside of their class, and on this score my gut says not so much, especially with blacks and Latinos. It's quite easy to get a degree if you want to thanks to plentiful mediocre schools and federal financial aid, so I wouldn't be surprised if a large share of these couplings - as noted by Aaron - are women with education or social work degrees married to guys that work a trade or decent unskilled labor jobs. It's not white lawyer lady marrying the UPS man.
Does anyone know a lawyer married to a UPS man story in real life? I just don't think it happens. Or if it does, it looks like that woman having a mid-life crisis and going insane. Like that female FBI agent that turned Turk and married her jihadist (unclear if he had a degree).
A high school friend, a girl from a good home with a BA moved in with her pot dealer (not sure if he even had his GED). He ended up cheating on her, giving her an STD, stealing all her money, and disappearing into the ether. But with a mere trip to the courthouse, they could have been legally married, and it wouldn't have made the story much dumber.
But back in the real world, I have two cousins that went to college and married non-college guys. One is a daycare worker that married a plumber. The other is a schoolteacher that married a prison guard. This is the normal pattern. Both men outearn their wives.

Yes, all rings true.
