-""I was in a "trophy girlfriend" relationship when I was young and my entire life revolved around "keeping" this guy""

It's absolutely a job. Why wouldn't it be? My point is that it's always an option for an even marginally attractive women that average dudes don't have, (which may be the reason the homeless population of women is such a minority.)

Not a lot of plump hairy average dudes wearing yoga pants with the word sexy and a midriff shirt trying to keep their rich man happy(gay or straight).

So my point remains....it's an extra option always available to women.

I don't understand how that could be considered "keeping women down". It's more like women always have an option available to them that the rest of us don't.
