Portrayals of Men in Media

Pretty good radio interview.

Interesting little bit in the middle talking about blue collar men opting out of marriage because girls don't want them. The essential point - women want higher status guys to marry and if they can't get that, can get better assistance via welfare, etc, than a blue collar man could provide. Sad. But true. There is an irony to the feminist movement in that women want equal opportunity in the work force, but also want a higher status mate. Mathematically, this is simply impossible, because if you achieve equality, there simply will not be enough higher status mates to go around. I would argue this is the statistical reason why there have been so many articles about attractive women "opting" for single-hood.
