hahahahahahaha You are a sexist boob as well. Stay at home moms produce females children with no idea of how to be upwardly mobile, indeed. You must really have to work at being so ignorant. JLA

Jeez Michelle, My wife wanted to go to college when she turned 40. I paid for it and helped her study. Bought her a new car to make the commute easier. Now she makes 60k a year to spend on her hobbies. I guess I'm just a repressive SOB.

>How about digging up a bio on this Ms Crittendon huh? She seems like an average character from the past - unsuccessful, perhaps?< Perhaps not by your standards, Michelle. Then again perhaps so. This woman has you puffing against her person instead of her ideas. She simply has submitted a point-of-view with no apparent malice toward you that I can see. You don't have to be a stupid California twit about this. >Thats what I think all these guys on this thread are, btw.< Well Michelle, we are all so very fortunate that the so-called "thoughts" of a Twitwench are worthless to all but the lowest of beasts. >Really? Power comes from wealth and hardly anybody has it in their 20s (although some do).< You really must learn to think. The issue here is not economic power. It is power in "dating and marriage markets". Attractiveness from a man's (at least this man's) perspective does not come from wealth (so if you desire a child, you better quick call down to the local fertility bank and have them warm up the sperm and synthetic penile devices). For some young men, attractiveness is almost 100% a matter of looks. I say ALMOST 100% because for some men things such as heritage, religious belief, parents, intelligence, etc., etc., do matter. But often the young man is so hooked on looks that he is merely PRAYING these petty incidentals work out. Once a woman's looks hook a man, she has to REALLY be dumb or her parents have to REALLY be like yours for the man to reject her. A happy marriage is the most exquisite and blissful thing two humans can ever experience. But from a man's perspective, it takes a pretty face, lovely hair, firm boobs, shapely legs and a nice butt to get it rolling. Once his radar locks on these things, he WILL hunt down his target. Mother Nature has preordained it. Once Nature gets him close enough, it then becomes the woman's job to bag him with her intellect and wit. When he is bagged, then cars, jobs, homes and businesses serve to field dress him. Children and other of life's joyful experiences pretty much get him on the grill. But even here another woman can come along and sneak him away for herself. It is up to the woman to master the feminine arts to keep him on that grill until such a time as she decides to remove him for herself. And a part of these feminine arts concerns looks. (Of course looks are just a part of it. The thing is really quite complex and marvelous.) >Untrue. Stay at home moms produce women with no work ethic I believe. At least, Ive seen this in my own family.< Well here we see your problem, Michelle. You should not make judgements of the world from observations of the Addam's Family. (You really are such a silly little girl.) >Female children of stay at home moms seem to have no idea how to be upwardly mobile. Just an observation.< And a very dumb one, seeing as you came from your family and yet are always trying to convince us how upwardly mobile you are. You can't logically use your family as an example of how stay-at-home moms incapacitate female mobility and then submit yourself as a female who is not thus incapacitated. Ah yes. Perhaps you are just a freak of nature. No doubt you are. >Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sounds like the "odds" turned against this author! BTW, if you look at Hollywood you will see that the leading ladies are about 15-20 years older than they were allowed to be 30 years ago. Women in Hollywood used to be washed up at 30 - now thats when they get started. Thats because these days, people look at the whole person when they look at women, how smart and successful they are as well as what they look like, about the same as for the men.< Again. You should not judge the world from observations of fruits and nuts. Even so, Hollywood is a different animal than it was 30 years ago. Today it has its teeny bopper stars, twenty something stars, boomer stars and even gray power stars. When I see droves of Margaret Thatchers becoming the most ubiquitous of megastars, then I will give this little opinion of yours the penny it is worth. >Everyone wants to be valued for their inner person I think and this is a big move forward. Of course, the former cheerleaders that peaked at age 20 (like the author) are probably not so happy. Too bad for them!< You don't know when this woman peaked, and I doubt you even know her age. She has touched a nerve within you and so to strike back at her you have resorted to mere twit lunacy instead of logic. (What is it with California? Too much sun out there? DANG you peoples is stOOpid).

Actually Michelle, you know what Crittenden wrote is true, because you are living it and that is your fate. Read Sexual Suicide by George Gilder.

Read "Backlash" first... Oh...your fate! LOL! Too bad you don't have some partially erect fur-ball waking up next to you every morning, with bad boy-breath and an agenda for your life and your uterus...to bad...Oh, how do you survive this absence?? You might want to read "Backlash" by Susan Faludi..."feminism" has become a mere marketing phrase in the pop-culture,(see "Lilith Fair")...there was never a full scale revolution...that will happen, and it won't be called "feminism"... Many an insecure male attempt to turn this Flacid male Fantasy about "what all Women want" into every Woman's reality...it must make them feel less of the Rejection....like I've said before, men want acceptance, or at minimum, deference...what a joke they can be! Thank goodness we can choose our "fate"...not all Women are so fortunate!!
