What do you think of this film?
It claims that the pill has destroyed women's ability to price fix the supply of sex and that it has also increased competition among them.
It concludes that because of a liberal supply of sex, men are the gatekeepers of the relationship supply. However, the film does not mention that many men avoid marriage because of the dire penalties involved with it should the former perfect woman wake up one morning 'not feeling it'. It also doesn't mention that in their prime, women are beginning to exceed men's notch counts.
Maybe the top 20% of men. The other 80% are getting shafted... hard.
80/20 rule applies
Being average isn't enough these days - maybe it never was.

RE: The Economics of Sex
With the 80/20 rule you also have to consider the relative status of the average man compared to the relative status of of the average woman
With feminism, male disenfranchisement, male thirst, celebrity/athlete/apex alpha worship, and supreme wealth worship, the old set of "checks and balances" that kept men and women on level playing fields is completely gone.
A decent looking young man making a solid low 6 figure income now has an absolute lower status than a decent looking young women. While this can be negated with good social ties, game and the like, one still needs to do more than in the past to lock down women. You see many men, sometimes even very good looking men, doing without.
This does not work with hypergamy. Men are no longer the gatekeepers of the relationship, because while the price of sex has declined in absolute terms, the "price" of a relationship with a "good man" has declined even further.
Women are exceedingly status conscious. It is ingrained with them that the average guy is of low status. Most women walk around these days with blinders on and if the situation keeps up, America will be very similar to Japan in that they have a birthing crisis. Women would rather just do without than "settle"

I hope you're wrong about men not even having a relationship gatekeeper role when there are so many women in their 30s desperately demanding one having kept their stocks beyond the peak of their market value to stay on the cock carousel for so long.
If a young man of marriageable years needs at least $100k per year salary when society is geared to both equality and female privilege, then things really are bad.
I noticed that hypergamy was not mentioned in the above film. Having dated women in their 30s recently, none have turned into second dates despite the first dates going well. I have seen no evidence of decreased pickiness of women in the final years of their fertility.
