Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate.
Obviously, I’m not saying women won’t date or marry a lower-earning men, only that they probably prefer not to. If a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all. [...]
The best way to improve economic prospects for women is to improve job prospects for the men in their lives, even if that means increasing the so-called pay gap.
The above statements were made by Phyllis Schlafly, the founder of the Eagle Forum, and long time conservative Republican leader. She maintained that increasing the pay gap will help women find suitable husbands because women want their husbands to be the top earner in the family and husbands want to be the provider in the family.
The Republican Party can talk about rebranding all they want, but as long as they continue to open their mouths they will continue to shoot themselves in the foot.
