Most women only marry up. It's time for women to consider the alternative of marrying down.
Otherwise, an anti-feminist leader like this one may be elected.

Yeah, women should pick useless men to be the fathers of their children and breed a whole generation of losers. Great idea.

S. Korean women are notoriously materialistic and calculating. E.g. using sugar daddies to pay for university tuition.

Hypergamy is a problem in all first-world countries, but Asian men suffer the most.

Marrying down doesn't imply that women are marrying rock-bottom, useless men so as to create a whole generation of losers... For example, my Mom married down, and I'm a winner.

The vast majority of women won’t marry down. A lot of them say they would, but deep down they don’t want to. And a lot of the ones who do don’t respect their husbands.

Sure, there are working mums married to stay at home dads, and they are satisfied with the arrangement. But in those situations, the mother runs a small business, or is inheriting a small business from her family. She is passionate about the business, so her husband staying at home is a compromise. Or the father cannot work due to workplace injury, declining health, or getting let go from work. In this scenario, him staying at home was not intended. His wife works and she doesn’t blame him because she understands it’s not his fault, but he was working when they got married. The stay-at-home dad arrangement is, in nearly all cases, a backup plan if other plans fail.

very true that stay at home dads are almost always back up plans

And a lot of stay at home dads who can physically work take courses at night or during the day while their children are in school. They don’t want to be stay at home dads forever.

Korean women will only marry down if their potential husband is white.

It's time for women to consider the alternative of marrying down.

Never gonna happen. It goes against the very essence of female nature. Hypergamy is hardwired into their brains. At worst, women will only marry men who are equal to them. They never marry men who are inferior to them, even in strict patriarchal societys. Women feel an instinctive disgust for low value men; its their genes warning them not to procreate with that man. (Similiarly, men feel instinctive disgust for promiscuous women; its their genes warning them not to invest in that woman)

In pre-modern societys, most people were subsistence farmers who lived in a state of scarcity, and monogamy was religiously enforced. Women obviously didn't have anywhere near the level of choices that they do now. They had a small pool of suitors to choose from, and married a man from their own class. Peasant women married peasant men, and noble women married noble men.

In those times, a man did not have to win over the woman he wanted to marry; he only needed to win over her parents. They were the ones who could make a marriage happen. People lived shorter lives back then, and had many children. Girls were viewed as a burden, because they could not work the fields as hard as boys. Parents were eager to marry off their daughters and be relieved of the burden.
