The opposite would be men who strive to be the prettiest, best manicured, in the office. A lot of women looking for that?

Sadly, yes. I just saw nightly wrinkle reducing cream for men at my grocery store. Have you checked out the array of men's body washes at the store? How about men getting pedicures and waxes? It's all happening so fast it makes me want to puke. Where are all the men who'll hold the door open for my daughters????????????

This article is supremely stupid.

Feminism was about respecting women's choice... to be a mom (and to be fully respected in that role) or to be a CEO or to work as a clerk and make the same salary as the male clerk working at the next desk.

I'm a hardworking high earner with no kids and my husband and I are supremely happy. Not everybody is cut out to be a parent (and there are plenty of people who can't for medical reasons). The author of the book has a huge chip on her shoulder.

That would be my son. But then, I've raised an old-fashioned kind of guy in a traditional, old-fashioned way. He's 22 and already ticked-off a number of feminist friends. lol!

My three daughters (18, 17, 15) all look for guys with an incredible work ethic - not afraid to get dirty, sweaty, or mussed up to do what needs done. Who stays late to sweep the gym? Who volunteers to take the trash out? Who not only holds the doors open, but is there first to unlock them and stays last to re-lock them? They would all be so irritated at a guy who refused to do some hard work! Luckily, we live in a place (rural Texas) where that is the norm! We used to go to a church where the preacher wouldn't take out the trash or pull weeds....we left that church, and partly because we all had a difficult time dealing with a man who refused to do physical labor, even when necessary!
