I mean, the point of the article is the women who are struggling to find suitable partners. The attitude that woman should just lower their standards (and yet again just accept higher workloads and lower efforts from their partners) is pretty antifeminist. The problem here isn’t that they have unattainable standards, it’s that a lot of men aren’t putting in effort to meet those basic standards, for whatever reason.
You have some good points I hadn’t considered before, so thank you for that. It’s definitely something I’ll have to think about more. It’s also worth mentioning that the difference between women who couldn’t find a suitable male partner vs men who couldn’t find a suitable female partner also really isn’t very much - “nearly half” vs “one third”, which was something I also wasn’t really considering when I made my comments. Ultimately it seems like a complicated issue that isn’t going to be fixed with one simple solution
