Couldn’t resist.

No one has attacked, diminished or outright demonized masculinity. Whatever are you prattling on about.

Mine is in India. I can’t even sexually harass her.

This is intellectual Carrie Bradshaw for a new generation. The author was raised in Park Slope and educated at Oberlin and Bard, so her audience knows who they are.

Having actually read the article, it's just clickbait for the NYT set. The author left an open marriage because she fell for one of the men she was dating and when that relationship didn't work out, she found herself in the middle aged dating pool in NYC where she goes out on dates with openly non-monogamous men. Hardly a representative sample of mainstream dating.

As a woman, the article just made me roll my eyes because the author and her friends seem to be self-selecting for these high drama relationships.

It’s true in many instances. Not universally, of course. I think it’s cultural, and limited to the USA. Other countries/cultures hold men accountable, and have better role models.

Spot on. I do actually believe we have a sociological problem in this country - women on the rise and wanting equal partners, men on decline and wanting the 50s back. But this article was not that at all. She was ridiculous.

I feel like this is another instance of media not reflecting real life, which is happening more and more these days.

Real life looks different for different people. Anyone and everyone can find someone in the media to tell them exactly what they’re supposed to think.

It isn’t that complicated. It’s just an example of Main Character Syndrome.

Secretaries are replaced by AI bots, and yes, those are replacing women for sex.

Navigating relationships is a critical life skill.

I'm a lawyer (woman) and I still have a secretary although she works for multiple people. Her title is administrative assistant, not secretary, but she handles those types of tasks. I've never not had an admin at any firm I've been at (I'm 46).

So, in a nutshell, is WSJ an elite men's newspaper, and NYT an elite women's newspaper? And has been for decades? That makes so much sense now that I think about years of reporting.
