I feel like this article is based on a very narrow, stale definition of success. It's 2005 people! Please tell me that we're beyond the "fame & fortune" ideal of success, that continues to prove, time and again, to do everything BUT promise happiness. I think success is about contentment and satisfaction. If you are dating someone who challenges you personally, makes you laugh and with whom you are truly happy -- you've succeeded -- regardless of how much money he brings home or what his business cards (or lackthereof) say. I just think we chip away at feminism everytime we make a fuss over this issue, as if women by default should be less successful than their male counterparts.
