I'm reminded of a woman I used to work with. She was very gung-ho about making lots more money, thinking that this would make men more likely to want her, and overlook her being a 50ish overweight neurotic drama queen. Didn't work.

I never cease to be amazed at the ubiquity of women who expend so much energy convincing themselves how illegitimate, nay criminal, it is to require more than they are willing to give for any particular benefit.

It's not limited to women. It's part of the socialist creed, but I've found many women who have the attitude "If I want it, SOMEBODY better supply it, and don't bother me with any drivel about how I need to do anything to earn it!"
