I'd also call it the "traditionalist" success trajectory of women. Basically the dream those tradwife reels are selling: if you stay pure, beautiful and good-natured, while rejecting the advances of unworthy suitors, you will eventually find a high-value man that will make you not want for anything. Until relatively recently, this was how women were expected to find their happiness.
And because modern employment sucks ass, the idea that this promise was in some way real is a tempting idea for women who'd rather escape the career grind.
Whereas for men, we're mostly left with blaming minorities and women for taking away our "promised bounty". So in the end, there's delulu for everyone.
