Getting back on topic I thought that article was very interesting (I subscribe to the paper edition).
The gender disparity in Asia, especially China, is really going to fuck up an entire generation of lower class men. I really can't blame the women for being smart in this kind of situation. This is one example where an equal society is good at levelling the playing field, so before crying out about female empowerment and such you have to remember that it goes both ways. When men's importance are placed above women to such a degree as it has been in Asia it has now inevitably given women so much choice that they dominate the partnership game.
