Not sure what you mean by this; the article appears to be entirely ABOUT 30-something women with successful careers, financial stability, education, better than decent looks, and no guy to snuggle (or other) with on a cold night.
I'm not steeped in feminism. I listen to it with disdain, hearing it daily as I do from my much younger coworkers. But they have dates come Friday. They may screw up those dates with their none too subtle Gandylike views, but they do have dates.
They have dates (or, more likely considering their age, mere f*** buddies). Do they have marriages? Happiness?
So the good guys end up choosing those with aspirations to Nannydom and Tupperware parties. Could it be that they ARE afraid of those with more than two brain cells to rub together? And yes, I am donning the Nanny flame suit as I write this? (I actually like Nannies. I've found them very convenient, hard working, dependable.....)
No, we're not. Mr. Day buried his lead; the most important line in the entire article is this one:
Smart, educated women aren't willing to date down on the social scale, so the higher they rise, the more they cut down on their available pool of men.He is absolutely spot-on correct here. Most such women are alone because they arrogantly REFUSE to even consider 99% of the single men that are right in front of them. We're a little overweight. We don't make as much as she does. We don't live in the right neighborhood. In short, we're not PERFECT, so they snub their noses at us and will still be wondering why they're alone at age 50. They are WOMEN! They deserve absolute beauty, a guy whose name will get their wedding listed in The New York Times!
Or, to boil it down to the bare essence: They're bigots.
But Mr. Day is nuts if he thinks we all want brainless Stepford women who do nothing but host Tupperware parties. We just want decency, acceptance, and - duh - love. Too many of today's women simply aren't willing to give the acceptance and love (much less decent treatment) to males that aren't physical (and financial) Adonises.
Yes, I agree. Kind of reminds one of... Michael Douglas, Hugh Hefner, Larry King, Donald Trump..... that expectation of entitlement. Unfortunately for the successful women, men have to jump through more difficult hoops than just stand there and look gorgeous. But financially successful women, like financially successful men, do demand more.

Yeah, kind of what a lot of women say about the demands from men. Except now men are adding that they want her to ditch the diploma. So hard to please....
