Market scarcity holds true.

40 years ago educated women were rare, even in the western world. Now not being obese is becoming increasingly rare.

I for one am glad for all the people now finding better employment opportunities, better health, and (anecdotally) better outlooks on life thanks to their weight loss. Awesome throughout.

Diminishing returns though. Once everyone is on glp-1, noone gets an employment advantage from it anymore. I still recommend riding the wave as long as it works.

For men, I assume?

Uh, what? Of my nine aunts (both sides), all of them have university degrees. None of them are particularly special (very high intelligence, nor from wealth families). Women have been going enmass to university since the mid-1960s. If you want to argue about it, first define what you mean by "rare".
