I actually hit upon this on page 1 bro. The problem is that this is the case but it doesn't necessarily have to be. If pursuing status is desirable then it should be desirable for women as well over being pretty or whatever else you think is their current paradigm. If it's undesirable for men then we should work to achieve parity on that as well. But you shouldn't just assume it's biotruths and roll with 'men work, women are pretty' and never waver from that.

I never once said its not desirable for women. Its just more desirable for men. I will never tell a person (man, woman, whatever we are these days) not to pursue what they define as "status". Hell I'm a coder, and I'm a major reason why my sister got into coding (she has since moved to product management but still), as she couldn't find a job better than $13/hr with her English degree (working for a woman who we later found out tax dodged numerous times).

However a failed man who doesn't achieve is much more likely to be casted out to the dustbin of society than a failed woman. Its why male unemployment is the number one sign of divorce (see below, and this echos the stuff I have done with marriage and divorce records at my job), and some studies have shown that a woman who loses her job can strengthen the marriage.
