    ???

    Girls know they have to work harder, walk the line, and do everything better in order to not get into a position where they have to rely on some loser to take care of them.

    While the boys just want to be a bunch of losers who can't keep a decent woman around? C'mon. I'm not ready to jump on the alarmist bandwagon yet, but the (sadly common) "street feminism" that I see in all kinds of neighborhoods that says "we don't need any men around anyway" is certainly not helping to get the boys motivated.
