Gawker CliffsNotes: "Don't Marry Career Women"

Brian - You've got it all wrong. The freaks who make a lot of money working in offices all day have the best ganja for kicking back at night. Trust me on this.

For the record, some of us career women actually enjoy working. I know it's crazy, but I'd rather have a job I love than a crying baby and a whining husband. Blech.

Michael Noer's totally available, Transuranic. Just a guess, but he'll want you to make EXACTLY as much as him, or slightly less.

As a queerboy who takes advantage of drunk divorced guys on the DL, I couldn't be happier about this newest phenomenon. *high fives greasy hipster*

Brian- Backlash is not a trend, it's pretty standard social and cultural analysis terminology. Also an excellent book by Susan Falludi...sadly retro. Most importantly I missed the reference and besides-- that's exactly what a backlash-er would say.

Yeah, Brian, but those gals often got the herp.

A bra burnin' I will go:

I feel that Forbes phenomenon out there.

Has feminism been flushed down the toilet?

Why is this acceptable in our day?

I know you ask the same questions (in a highly superior, more beautifully advanced, way) but I wanted to chime in here and say - Ow! This sucks.

$5 says he wrote that article because some "career woman" he met at a bar last night left before he could roofie her drink.

Gigi: There's no smell except shit, because the trend backlash is just as hackneyed as the trend piece itself, as we learned earlier today.

Personally, I avoid career women because they never seem to believe me when I explain, in simple terms, why I've been unemployed for 2 years. The bohemian, drifting types tend to accept and support my delusional self-assessments, and they always have a good supply of weed.

And frankly, I don't fully trust anyone who works in an office, period.
(that's not a joke)

Don't let that bitch out of the house where she might be able to make the neccessary comparisons in order to discern that you are, in fact, an ass. And believe us, you are an ass. She better be stupid too because it's pretty fucking clear.

Does anyone smell backlash? Also, haven't there been studies that show that regarless of age, income and education men are always more mentally and emotionally stable whereas women become less so on the big day. How do they keep tricking us into this?
