Personally, I know I've prioritized dating men who are willing to stay home themselves since I don't like the idea of being a stay-at-home mom.
Anyway, just seems rational.
Sure it does, but these days very few women stay home for that long (out of women with well-paying careers). Also, more importantly, there's nothing stopping women with high-paying careers from marrying lesser-earning men and letting them stay at home with the kids, but as these statistics clearly show, women are simply not doing that: they're demanding partners who make at least as much as they do. (And they seem to be failing at finding such partners, and are then just staying single, and frequently (in my observation) going to a sperm clinic and getting artificially inseminated and intentionally becoming single mothers and hiring nannies to raise their kids.)

That's great, but you seem to be a rare exception. Very few women seem to be thinking that rationally, as shown by these statistics.
There's no causation shown this data. It takes two parties to be in a relationship and you have no reason to assume that it's primarily the woman making that choice.
If you want another anecdote, I've been dumped after disclosing I made more than my partner.
As for women primarily making the choice, that's true. Go look at OKC's data: women get FAR more unsolicited messages than men, that's a simple fact. The person who has more options has more power.
