Well, here's an interesting post that I came across today. It's written under pseudonym and I'm a little struck by how many people are turned off by the assertion. The knee-jerk reaction to the article is likely zomg this girl is so shallow or "holy crap, I better get a prenup in searching for a partner". I'm not going to debate that but I'm glad that the touchy subject was raised and it should certainly be a bit alarming for both men and women looking for a family partner.

I can say for sure that I respect this woman's life decision and would even go so far as to say that it is indeed a very feminist viewpoint as she claims. It's extremely respectable for anyone to see a clear role in life. This woman will likely lead a responsible and solid family (if she finds what she is looking for). Is it really so bad to crystallize the tit-for-tat? I often imagine that a feminist role can almost work in any direction. A woman could just as easily take responsibility for carrying the riches but the dude better be damn well committed to taking care of the family.

This woman is precocious for writing this article and anticipating the fair amount of criticism. Is it possible to find an equally staunch male who will write that he wants to take care of family and marry up? If so, then I hope he is not met with as much criticism because there are plenty of women looking for just that. If not, then we should all reconsider who the shallow ones really are.
