I would have to agree that for the most part, men want someone to take care of them, but let's be honest. Who doesn't? Women do too! On the other hand, everyone wants someone to take care of as well... or are children a wonderful accident? (sarcasm)

But that comment about intelligence is total bullshit. I can't stand stupid people. That's a pet peeve of mine. I realize some people actually lack intelligence and try, but I mean the people who don't try. The ones who fall into a pattern of laziness. That kind of stupid. So, really, I would never marry someone I can't talk to. Conversation was a vital prerequisite when I was dating!

But yeah, we do kinda get tired of women tooting their own horn. I'll have to bring up Omarosa as an example here. Although she doesn't use her success as a crutch (which makes no sense), she IS intimidating. Some men do find power sexy. But again, Dowd takes a generalization and applies it to everyone. Me? I have what I wanted. An equal. Yes, I earn all the money, but I am not opposed to her getting a job. It's just unnecessary.
