Good, thought-provoking bits about:

Thatcher's rhetoric around child support actually being about demonizing fathers (and reducing "parenthood" to cash payments) to justify gutting welfare
competitiveness not being a masculine treat
men's advocacy inadvertently driving some conservative pundits' rhetoric leftward;

As a criticism, I'd always be careful about ascribing something like "hypergamy" to a whole gender (it could be said that most people are hypergamous to a degree, in that everyone longs for people who are more desirable than them, but that the desirable qualities that different people look for are... well different); however, he does specify that it's primarily traditionalist women who (inadvertently or consciously) encourage competitiveness in men because they want a trophy husband.
