I wasted two minutes watching that blather before I turned it off. What's wrong with a woman marrying a guy who is a good provider? It's a system that has worked for several thousand years, at least.
I have a female friend who is an ex-Marine, tough as nails, works a blue collar job that is mostly done by males. She's married, has several kids, and is the prototypical supermom-type (albeit blue collar). It's a grueling life. Recently she showed up to work with a t-shirt that said "I want to be a housewife."
Well that "man as provider" thingy doesn't seem to be working for HER !
And doesn't work for many women because:
A. Most women, like most men, don't want to be leeches on someone else. They're quite capable of earning their own income and prefer it that way.
Sorry for the losers in here who haven't met one.
B. A man may provide but a man may also LEAVE...best not to depend on something so undependable as a man.

Less than 1% of the population is "rich". She is suggesting that 99% of men are not marriage material. Not sure if she is misogynistic for suggesting that women resort to gold digging or anti-men.
Are you sure? How about a quote from SE to confirm that she suggested that? I'm guessing that whatever she said, it was probably a sarcasm-tinged response to lib attacks on Ann Romney. Anyway who really cares. The whole thing is the kind of non-issue that constitutes the reason I rarely watch the talking head shows anymore. And BTW I thought the left was all on fire about letting people marry whomever they wish to marry, for whatever reason?

If women marry rich there won't be single-mom's on welfare............
Seeing women move up in that way is not part of the plan.............
The whole strange part Sarah Palin was accused of not staying home and working too much, while Todd or family member's took care of her children. Ann Romney was made fun of for staying at home and being available for her kid's. What's to complain about.........
Maybe, it's we can do it for "whatever reason" as long as the people on the left have a say in it. By the way it could change the next time we have to report in.

Commenting on a topic does not = censorship or control. You have a right to be a gold digger and I have a right to call you one. By the way, I think S.D. Cup is a knockout and she can probably snag a rich guy, the reality is most women are not, and there are not that many rich guys to begin with. I'm willing to bet that most defenders of her statements are not rich, so they are basically admitting they are not worthy of a woman's hand in marriage.

well ok fair enough. 'Rich' tends to be malleable. If you joe avg, a pro ballplayer is rich. If you're a ballplayer, the owner is rich. If you're a resident of Eritrea (per capita income=$700/yr) an American on welfare is rich.

Ballplayer A Rod signed a $275 million dollar contract, if he doesn't consider himself rich, he is an ungrateful delusional brat.

Ouch. That's pretty harsh. I'd say at least down to 10% might still be considered "rich". You don't have to be a billionaire or mega-millionaire to be "rich". I'd also suggest that most women would have no trouble going 10% lower than that and still think that they "married well".
