I don't know which gender should be more insulted by this vacuous article. To reduce the choice of a partner to either marrying up or down is to miss the entire point of why we form relationships. When my husband cleans up our childrens vomit when they are sick or holds me in his arms after I've had a particularly bad day, the last thing on my mind is his or my earning power.
Equanimity in a relationship is achieved in dozens of different ways. The currency of a loving relationship is trust, integrity and responsibility. It doesn't hurt to have a good sex life as well. If you and your partner share these qualities, the rest, as they say is negotiable.
