Are you actually deluded enough to think that buying a house makes you mature? That's like saying the ability to make a woman pregnant makes a man a "father". You confuse what women actually did with what women could do. All those things you list were accessible to a woman that wanted them, but most women made a conscious decision to take a different route, for better or worse.

In other words, nothing you posted indicates any level of new-found maturity in women. Ignoring the apparent fact that someone pissed in your Wheaties, you obviously have no idea what maturity actually means. HINT: It doesn't mean being able to buy and drive (horrors!) a car with a big engine. Any incompetent drooling imbecile can do that, so I personally wouldn't claim that as a mark of maturity and achievement unless your standards are really low.

Tortoise, you're wasting you time with this one. She's arguing like crazy, but has made so many leaps of faith that I can't keep track of her religion any more. She still hasn't read the original article, or has read it and decided that she likes the option of keeping that atomic bomb next to the bed so that she can rake her next victim over the coals financially. And all the while, she'll be trying to claim the high moral ground, whining "he wouldn't change", and "I thought he'd sell the Harley".

Funny how certain women make a bad choice, then somehow blame the man. What's not funny is that the court system lets them get away with it.
