> Why is the onerous of lowering their standards being pushed on educated women?
A single person looking to find a partner is in essence selling something: themselves. When selling anything it's important to consider the target market.
If the market isn't interested in what someone is selling there's a few options:
1) Change the product
2) Find a different market
Changing the behavior of the market is not an option because, unless it's a really really desirable product, the market isn't likely to budge.
So educated women that the article is referring could decide to not lower their standards but the risk they face is being alone.
