58. Lord, how bitter she is!
And don't men get tired of being thought of as a bottomless pocketbook? Or just somebody to be bossed around by a bitter, desperate wench who "settled" for him?

I find this woman's column to be full of self-pity, and correct me if I'm wrong here, more than a little self-centeredness to consider men in this light. No "feminist" would disrespect another human being in this manner. It's all about equality, not having everything we want regardless of another person's feelings.

I'm 52, female, and a serial single person. I never wanted to be married or have children, and I've never regretted it. heh! And I'm not the Virgin Mary, either! :evilgrin:

Better that than to inflict myself upon an unsuspecting, innocent male for whom I "settled." I'd not be able to look at myself in the mirror, all right--I'd have no self-respect.

So there!

Zephyr
