I'll just explain my thoughts below.
Hypergamy is the result of women attempting to live up to unrealistic social expectations placed upon them by society. Society prefers people to date assortively, this means to date within your own league, however, when a woman fails to achieve her goals she is more likely to date hypergamously as a sort of compensatory mechanism. Our economy is dogshit and there is an overproduction of elites (as explained by Peter Turchin), this is the cause of hypergamy -- women being told their whole lives to study for a job they will never achieve. The gyneocentric feminism girlboss narrative is a lie designed to hide how abysmal modern life is. In the developed world, rent is unaffordable, wages are low (if you managed to get a job), grocerries are unaffordable, bills are expensive, the streets are dangerous, hobbies are expensive, these problems don't stop just because you are a woman. It appears women are winning, because the examples of women being successful are overwhelming of elite women using inherited privelge to gain high status, it does not apply to normal winning.
As we already know, hypergamy only favours a few men, everyone else loses -- including women. Due to this fact, the majority of women are not going to get the top 20% of men, and this will make them bitter. This will lead to social collapse caused by the elite overproduction, it's not just a male thing. However, the difference with women is that female status orientation is more unstable than male status orientation and will spiral out of control quicker than male status competitions, and women will use their social power coalitions to attack men as a reaction to elite overproduction resentment. Men and women will not unite over this issue, instead they will polarise over it.
EDIT: Hypergamy is not some natural state, but a social trend indicating a period of social instability.
