Class Privilege

The longest, most-stable marriages with the largest number of children are found among women with postgraduate degrees. The woman who was department Chair before me has four. The one that will be Chair after me has three. The woman who supervises our operations in IT has four. The secretary, on the other hand, is unmarried and childless. The secretary before her was divorced with one child. The one before was unmarried and childless. This is anecdotal but it’s supported by large-scale data.

Stable marriages and many children are becoming a class privilege. All of this dumb blethering over extremely marriageable waitresses sounds like a joke. I don’t care that the tweet is AI-generated because there’s not nearly enough conversation about how the low fertility rates in the West that justify mass migration actually came to be and who it is that’s pushed out of procreation.

  1. I know a lot of beautiful working class women, last time I checked guys with college degrees aren’t falling over themselves to marry them or even date them seriously. The most they’ll get is a casual thing before he moves onto someone of his own social class. There’s a difference between who a man will fuck and who he will marry.

    1. Totes true. People marry within their social class. Working class divorce rates, out of wedlock births and family dysfunction have been tragic since the 1980s. But let’s pretend this is not happenin. That’s definitely smart.
