Why anyone needs to write an article stating the obvious I don't know. As to my comments, gold-digging is just a really big pet peeve of mine. It's in the box of things that get my blood boiling, with organized religion and the government. What can I say? I'm a hopeless idealist.

Ah, so the author seems to think that gold-digging is the appropriate route for women since a career is out of the question if marriage is the ultimate goal. Interesting. My property professor in law school said that traditional marriage was just legalized prostitution, and I agree and also think traditional baby-raising is slavery, so I think I may like the cut of this guy's jib, in a roundabout sort of way (not that I have read the article or anything -- that would require some work).
