'Men adore us, and almost all their efforts (...) are made to win our approval, if not our admiration.'

I notice myself I'm getting fed up with making those efforts. Partly that is good and relaxed, but it's also a sign of an imbalanced world gone bitter.

Anyhow, interesting article; worthwhile to really read it, not just the headline or this comment. It is also too complex and nuanced for a tl;dr.
