Nothing misogynistic about pointing out the fact that many women are more inclined to opt for a stable option and (in these younger generations) be enticed by celebrity status. Things like that are just highly valued in today's society. It's just the way it is.

If you're attractive and can easily have your pick of the lot, why wouldn't you opt for the very best option you can have, as far as social status? That actually seems more smart than shallow. The truth of that may hurt feelings, but in their place you would probably do the same.

Thats not to say that it precludes other qualities, but that status absolutely pre-qualifies you to have an opportunity to date her. If you consider the prospect of having a family etc, then someone with the type of career of a pro athlete will facilitate that stability and freedom.

I don't think that truth is something that needs to be danced around just to appease a certain crowd that has a hard time accepting that their are certain truths in today's society that don't necessary look great from afar.
Because the term gold-digger is an offensive stereotype and mysogynistic. So the reason for throwing it around is to call it for what it is.

"The term "gold-digger" gets thrown around like car keys flung on the kitchen table, but the traits of the target of such vitriol are clear: the gold-digger is scheming, vapid, and predatory. She's a one-note tune, a shell of a woman who breathes in dollar signs and destroys all men in her path. The so-called gold-digger has no feelings, no true convictions, and dreams in Technicolor for all things money can buy. Wow, I know a lot of women, but I don't know any women like that. Yet men and women alike seem to use this term in a diagnostic way, summing such a woman up as if the label were true or indicative of a thorough investigation into her character. Really, I know that we, as a society, are capable of better than rushing to such judgment."

And trophy wife is the same.

Don't want people calling this stuff out? Then stop using the terms.
