    Barf

    This is crap. No one batts an eye when men "date down" - in fact they don't even give it a name when men to it.

    This was an extremely snotty article as well. Talking about people who work at Blockbusters or as office assistants as if they are less people than the 90 million magazine editor women they interviewed for the story.

    (By the way, I am soooo sick of women in the media writing about "working women" and the only "working women" they manage to drag-up are 20 something magazine editors...)

    While these New York women spend more time worrying about what other people think in their little bubble - women doing amazing work in high-tech, bioegineering, politics, research, medicine, that are the REAL ground breakers probably could give a crap about all of this.
