It's funny, I agree with the satirical piece somewhat - from my community, I know plenty of girls that go to college and even graduate school, and they get married at like 23 or 24. And it's like, come on, you're just going to end up a housewife, and I won't think any less of you because of that... but all this education of yours is just a colossal waste of money.

There was a whole piece in the NY Times a year or so back about girls at the nation's top schools enrolling there with the sole intention of snaring a quality man. They were, presumably, smart (or at least accomplished) enough to get there, but they had other priorities.

Back in college, I knew some girls at these same schools who, when asked what their major was, would respond, "Husbandry." Pretty funny. They were pretty feminine and attractive. If they held up their end of their bargain, this might not be so bad--at least in theory. They were still in their prime, they would instruct any children with a top-rate education, and they knew their role. Old-school.

I'm not sure Lynzee Strauss meets these requirements, judging by her skanky tattoos and woefully inadequate grammar.

Tuth, I recall a piece in the NYT a few years ago about IVY educated women who didn't want to enter the workforce at all...they just wanted to start families. The article dealt with the question of whether or not they should have been occupying a highly-coveted seat in some of the world's finest institutions of higher learning, and essentially wasting mommy and daddy's money for an expensive, framed piece of paper that they weren't going to put to any use.

There are still plenty of girls that go to good colleges that are there to latch on to a smart guy that looks like he has a bright future. Sure, they may work for a few years themselves, but that's just until they can find a high-riser in the corporate world so they can quit.
