\"\"Now, why would a guy as incredibly handsome, smart, and successful<\/em> as David Brooks feel the need to churn out another concern-trolling column urging women to choose marriage over career success?\u00a0 It\u2019s clear that\u00a0this rugged specimen\u00a0of American manhood\u00a0should have nothing whatsoever to worry about in terms of attracting and holding onto a beautiful, successful, ambitious\u00a0woman like (for example) the Academy Award-winning actress Sandra Bullock!\u00a0 The author of cutting-edge social analyses such as Bobos in Paradise<\/em> (2000) is a clearly towering intellect\u2013it\u2019s on all of my syllabi, as I\u2019m sure it is on all of yours, too.\u00a0 And, although of course I can\u2019t speak from personal experience, I\u2019m sure he\u00a0is the\u00a0dignified bearer\u00a0of\u00a0enormous and very long-lasting erections.<\/p>\n

I just can\u2019t figure out why a guy like that would write something that tries to hang enormous historical, philosophical, and sociological\u00a0issues around the neck of someone he doesn\u2019t know at all, and about whose marriage and personal life\u00a0he knows little if anything aside from what he reads on the cover of the tabloids at the supermarket!<\/p>\n
