From a feminist who is not a fan of Maureen Dowd
I think that Dowd's book was shoddily written and poorly researched. Ms. Dowd is undeniably attractive and intelligent, so if she can't get married it's probably her decision and her choice. I'm sure she has had plenty of opportunities. But her book was based upon a tissue of anecdotes, pop culture and dubious pseudo-science, and cannot be generalized to the experiences of Jane Average in Topeka.
As for John F. Ross - something tells me he's not exactly beating the young hotties off with a stick. That "Women have an expiration date" attitude is not exactly catnip to the ladies, young or old.
