I guess I'm confused about the conclusions reached in this article. If men are marrying these women that are there "subordinates" (as an aside just because you are someones superior in a corporation doesn't make you actually superior) wouldn't the inverse be true as well? Namely that these women are attracted to strong men?
If both the men and the women are happy why is the author complaining? Oh wait...how is her marriage?
There is some evidence that that may be the case.< / sarcasm>
If you look at the complaints of MoDo and her frustrated high-status sisters (that no one will date them and they can't get married), what they mean is that no one whom they want to date and marry will date or marry them.
They are looking for the highest of high-status men, very rare beasts, even in Manhattan.
And, since having a wife who believes in and lives sexual complementarity is the greatest assist a fast-track man can ever get, many of the small sample of men MoDo et al would date are already married.
Why does MoDo seek sucha high status man?
She's looking for Daddy.
Reality check, Maureen: Men are looking (among other things) for mommy.
Women are looking, (among other things), for daddy.
Humans are built that way. And as long as day-care with mommy working with daddy divorced and paying child support (or a turkey baster) doesn't become mandatory, they always will.
Get a life.
