Misha Saul is a guy I know from Substack. He writes Kvetch which I came across while wondering about the subject of my last post, Female Hypergamy—that is, wondering why FH has become defined as a social lynchpin in the imaginations of so many during a time when the gender-based wage gap is closing and women are better-educated and more autonomous than ever before.
