\u201cFemale hypergamy\u201d (from now on, just \u201chypergamy\u201d) is a supposed tendency for women to seek husbands who are higher-status than themselves. Arguing about educational hypergamy (women seeking husbands who are more educated than themselves) is especially popular, because women are now (on average) more educated than men - if every woman wants a more-educated husband, most won\u2019t get them, and there will be some kind of crisis.
