From my perspective, women still earn less on the dollar.

Women and men who do the same work, for the same hours, with the same education and seniority, get paid almost exactly the same (the difference is >2%). This is well documented, you can go check it out for yourself if you wish. The old feminist chant of "59 cents on the dollar" (now revised to "76 cents on the dollar") is, and always has been, a lie-of-ommission because it ignores the fact that men, on the average, work longer hours and do more difficult and dangerous jobs.

Meanwhile, as she points out, men have a big pool of available fascinating women to choose from. Particularly true in big cities

Fascinating women in the big cities? Ha! WHERE? Not in Lost Angeles. Oh, perhaps some of these women are interesting from a fornicator's perspective... But a single, old-fashioned, abstaining-til-marriage guy will find the pickings very, very slim. I found my wife elsewhere.
