I'm actually greatly impressed with TS's set standards for what she wants in her partner. It addressed an issue which will only detriment the female population, that is sometimes men just don't respect women!

Some men (I'm not saying all) treat women only as sex objects and children-making machines, paying no regards to her feelings and values as a person. And the funny thing is, sometimes why men continue to behave this way is because there are women who allow men to walk all over them as sex objects.

If only women have greater self-respect for themselves, setting higher standards for their partners (means wanting a man who will appreciate her as a person, not just a sex and baby-making machine for the husband), probably this situation may improve.

Call me a feminist, if that irritates you, being a feminist is not a bad thing. I do expect criticisms to my comments coming from a world full of sexists. Maybe you are that 4 out of 10 men which TS quoted as "intimidated by women with career success", or a woman who needs to have more self-respect.
