You mean "date" as a euphemism, right?
Is it just me, or does the article suggest that intelligent men want dumb housewives, implying that a smart woman would never want to be a housewife? I have seen some very intelligent women doing work in industry or government that was far beneath their ability. OTOH, I think a household benefits from intelligent management. Kids are real winners with an intelligent mom in the home.
OK, so call me a Neanderthal. [grunts unintelligibly]

Hee hee. Well, I guess that remark is rather open to interpretation. But I actually did mean "date". I've met some women that weren't particularily bright, but super sweet. Those gals, though, end up getting married anyway, because they're impossible not to like. :)
I think you are correct in your assessment of the article. It's somewhat galling to realize that some people would assume that I am stupid because 1) I stay home with my children and/or 2) because I don't have a degree.
By the same token, I find it irritating in the extreme when a college educated woman decides to stay home and raise her children, and people tell her that she's wasting her education. As if her children couldn't benefit from her education in any way except in the form of a paycheck. Geesh.
