1) Women tend to marry an equal or someone higher to them in terms of education (and 'social status'). Because more women than ever are going to university, including the professional degrees, there is a lack of supply of men available at an equal or higher status.

Where's the evidence for this? Everything I've read suggests that women are more likely than ever to marry or co-habitate with men who are less educated or earn less money than they do.
