“the impact of gender equality on family inequality could be quite large. As I’ve suggested before, when a man with high earnings potential starts to look for a wife with high earnings potential instead of a wife who can cook and clean, you are going to see fewer inter-class marriages. That raises inequality. Then the kids of the two-yuppie parents are going to start out with a lot of advantages relative to the kids of average Joe and Jane, with genetic advantages being the hardest to compensate for. That means even more inequality with each generation. Regardless of which political party is in power.” — Arnold Kling, discussing the significant rise in gender equality worldwide
