Guess it depends on how these women want to define success. If they define success as being childless, loveless, bitter, and angry, then I think they need to re-think their priorities a bit. If not, they can live like Maureen Dowd, with a bottle of scotch in one hand and a duracell-powered lover in the other- blaming everyone else but themselves for the predicament they're in.
You miss her point: Men don't want relationships with smart, successful women. Too much of a threat to what's below their belts.
