Women have been framing marriage as a work contract from the 60s, world wide, since they don't get paid anywhere close to what men get paid, just like the barista and the ceo. As more of them have paths to exit this contract, they will do so. Alimony laws are temporary reactions to the problem.

There is no great benefit to sitting and spending your whole life dependent financially on someone else especially if you don't have anything in common. This is the same reason men change jobs. Once globalization provides multiple paths for workers to exist corporate environments they do so. Thanks to the internet Women get to see on their feeds what options they have, in ways their mothers and grandmothers never did.

The only problem with people who hang out on HN is they don't know any sociology or why the womens movements emerged in history. All just completely delusional about success coming on the backs of exploiting free or unpaid work of others.
