My Cage "Classic" 07/10/2007

Maureen is partially based on my wondering why male characters only fall for attractive female characters and that's ok, but female characters falling for successful men are often shamed as gold diggers. (I actually know the answer: Male Writers.)

Originally run July 10th 2007.

My Cage "Classic" 07/10/2007

Reminds me of a line from the old "Barney Miller" police sitcom: when a guy arrested for forcing himself on a woman asks the detectives "in the movies why does a woman resist at first, then gives in and lets the man kiss her?" one of them responds "because men make those movies."

There is truth to it. While there have been stories about men courting ugly old widows of rich men, it's hard to find a man seeking a woman who made her own fortune.

well, i think one part is more 'successful men will marry unsuccessful women, looking for a rich husband' while 'successful women won't marry unsuccessful men, looking for a rich wife'.
