Comments on: Reddit Users Debate the Idea of ‘Leftover Women’ http://www.theworld.org/2013/01/reddit-response-leftover-women/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=reddit-response-leftover-women Global Perspectives for an American Audience Tue, 12 Feb 2013 14:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Justin http://www.theworld.org/2013/01/reddit-response-leftover-women/comment-page-1/#comment-27657 Justin Tue, 29 Jan 2013 04:04:00 +0000 http://www.theworld.org/?p=157952#comment-27657 Wealth and Power are relative. There has to be a poor for the rich, as well as the weak for the powerful. If a high paying or high ranking job goes to a woman then it doesn't go to a man. That means as women are getting more educated and affluent men are becoming the opposite. You can see the trend in professions like Law or Medicine, less male doctors and lawyers and more women as doctors or lawyer; more male nurses and paralegals and less female paralegals and nurses. I could careless whether a girl is more powerful or makes more money than me. However what pisses me off is women expecting to "have their cake and eat it." They blame men for lack of opportunities in work and status but then turn around expect their man to be just as well placed or better on the social ladder. The fact that their selection is so weak is they still idealize a man who is increasingly become rarer b/c there simply less wealthy or powerful men, compared to the rising number of equally positioned women. Also why a lot of men are becoming less and less masculine ( case in point look at the descendants of Vikings and the Samurai). Yet when a type man they want does not want them, they simply blame them....how about using that new found power and wealth to ask the man out and pay for dinner? Or aim lower and marry a plumber or electrician even though you are a CEO or Doctor? I know I am generalizing but sexism runs both ways. Wealth and Power are relative.
