It really is classic stuff: The girls said they hid the fact that they go to Harvard from guys they meet, because it's the kiss of death. "The H-bomb," they call it. "As soon as you say Harvard Business School . . . that's the end of the conversation," Ani Vartanian said. "As soon as the guys say, 'Oh, I go to Harvard Business School,' all the girls start falling into them." So the moral of the story is, the more women accomplish, the more they have to sacrifice? No, Maureen, the moral of the story is that there are fewer mercenary sluts among men than there are among women. Really, what else are you going to call anyone, male or female, who "falls into" someone just because the mantra "Harvard Business School" is recited? The real complaint that these women are making is that the guys get attention from mercenary sluts and they don't. So they are crying about it. The cry goes something like this: We WANT our mercenary sluts! We NEED our mercenary sluts! We HAVE A RIGHT to our mercenary sluts! We ARE ENTITLED TO our mercenary sluts! GIVE US OUR MERCENARY SLUTS!!! WAAAAA!! Obviously the government has to do something about this intolerable situation. I'm sure they can think of something, as long as you are willing to cough up just a little more. And why should you not? Think of those poor deprived women....

This reminds me of the bitch common among under-35s that they want a house and can't afford to buy and someone should DO SOMETHING! That's priceless, Laz. I guess you haven't been talking to all those assh*le men under thirty-five who share the same sense of entitlement. It's not just women. It's not just the Ivy educated. It's a generation (or two) of Americans who had practically anything they wanted handed to them by guilty parents who happened to be riding a very inflated stock market bubble.
