Women murdered in India for an inadequate dowry: that is indeed horrible. I'm having trouble connecting that injustice with my comment, however.

Is it really common for men to marry women for their money? Given the billions of people in Western countries, I'm certain you'll be able to provide instances where this happens, but common? Can you give me a link to some statistical evidence? I ask because this is the opposite of my understanding: it is common for women to marry men for money:

While the pay gap has been closing between men and women, evidence suggests that women still expect their marriage partners to make more money. Yes, it is common for men to avoid dating women who earn more because it intimidates them. For many of us, we are having to learn to respect women as equals. However, this also is partly because we're still expected to make more money even as we approach parity in wages (again, based on the study in the link above). The study has suggested that the persistence of this expectation has lead to a decrease in the number of men that are considered 'marry-able'. So bottom line, women that make more money than we do aren't interested in us as partners. That's intimidating.

It's really difficult to have an earnest conversation about gender equality when you use loaded statements like "ego's can't handle it." that take such a one-sided, reductionist view. It's a general vilifying of men (and their "so-called" fragile egos) that is why some may call you a 'man-hater' (even though your a guy). It's a little contradictory to claim to care about men's feelings, and the shame them for having "frail egos" whenever they admit feeling intimidated.
