Well, here's the author. It's easy to see her perspective in this.

wonder what sort of husband might consider that a trophy?

i am not my husband's trophy because i am only 2 years younger than he, but i can honestly say i would be flattered to be thought so. it is only the extremely insecure, who actually give a dang about what others think of their personal life, that would be put off by the moniker. Jeri Thompson is both beautiful and professionally accomplished. she has absolutely nothing to be insecure about and i doubt she is.

This actually pretty much captures the syndrome:

Claims of sexism may abound, but at the end of the day, many women would be flattered to be considered a trophy wife, and those who are not may actually aspire to become one, according to Dr. Debbie Then, a social psychologist who specializes in women and appearance

Bottom line, those that throw it out as a perjorative are actually jealous that it can't be said of them.

Exactly. She is not likely to attract a successful, charming mate her own age.

When you look at Jeri Thompson, she is not THAT good looking for a 40 year old woman. Yes, she is above average in looks, and much better looking than the average wife of a man Fred's age, but not in the top 1% of attractive 40 year old women, or even the top 5%

It's Newman (Wayne Knight) in drag.
