Perhaps it's just that, you know, nowadays they don't have to feel like prostitutes?

Because I sure would if my spouse kept buying me things just so I'd put out.

You're right, women DON'T have to feel like prostitutes because the options for women have greatly expanded. We no longer have to be confined to the "traditional" roles that encourage us to be passive doormats content to be totally dependent on our spouses.

My point, anyway, is that the men in the WSJ article cheering this drivel on are often the same guys who don't want to assume the traditional provider role for men. They don't want a wife, they want a maid that "puts out".

...sounds like a nice daydream, but in real life, that would be pretty boring.

I could roll with "fuck it, let's neither of us clean". I want a wife, not a barracks inspector.
