Notthedarkweb @notthedarkweb.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think you'd have to consider counterfactuals here. Women who earn high income also forego larger amounts of income and if people have non homothetic preferences, richer women will also tend to prefer greater leisure time that would have to be foregone 130
