re: Career women

I'm with you. As I have said to many wide-eyed women in my life, women now have more freedom and choice when it comes to career, home, and other related choices. They usually are smiling ear-to-ear at that!

BUT, of course, at the same time men have more freedom and choice when it comes to career, home, and other related choices. That part usually takes the smile off their faces.

It's a self-centered mentality, really: many women think they can change the variables on their side of the equation, and not change the variables comperablyon the other side of the equation. Frankly, they must be smoking crack to genuinely believe that: it makes no sense and it is fundamentally unfair.

They get the careers they want. Men get the mates they want. Everyone is happy, right?

Preach it brother.

If conservative men genuinely over-performed on average, this would be a wildly different country. No doubt about it. Feh.

Hmmm, good analogy. It is like in any math equation, if you take a different number and plug it into one side of the equation, it will change what you get on the other side. I'm a firm believer in the "zero-sum game" where most things are concerned. Things will zero out at some point, although what you get might be better or worse than what you started out with as the circumstances dictate.
