Are working-class couples more likely to marry if men make more money? New evidence says not necessarily
Article: But one widespread theory is that declining fortunes for the working class and increased income inequality have resulted in a dearth of marriageable men. Women have told polling firms like the Pew Research Center that they want to marry a man with a steady job: So if they become pregnant, the theory goes, they will decline to marry the father until he has improved economic prospects. In turn, this theory suggests that steady, better-paying jobs in a community should lead to higher marriage rates.
But a new paper published in the National Bureau of Economic Research cast cold water on that idea. In a clever move, researchers looked at parts of the country with a boom in fracking, bringing new jobs in the oil and gas industries and an uptick in wages for working-class men. People in such areas did have more children, but contrary to researchers’ expectations, the marriage rate did not rise.
In other words, women in larger numbers may have begun choosing single motherhood out of perceived economic necessity, believing that their male partners weren’t steady enough to marry. But although the idea of single motherhood has become more normalized, women haven’t necessarily been more eager to marry, even if men are starting to make better money.

None of this has anything to do with Juliette. She had already set the terms of her life. She wanted a career and a family. Not only was all of that taken away from her, she was mutilated in the process. People try to rationalize this Eve thing into some kind of great inspirational path. It's not. The difference between the women in your article and Eve is that they have a choice. Juliette did not. She was forced into becoming Eve.
