Dating advice columnist destroys the hamster wheel

I occasionally read Dowd's column in the NY Times. I've read some of her dating opinions occasionally. As Katz touches on, she doesn't get it. That's the most honest, without being antagonistic, advice a bitch will ever read anywhere. But they'll still resist it. They're rather curl up with their cat and pint of ice cream than re-evaluate and change.

I was reading some of the women's comments on that entry and some others. They. Just. Don't. Get. It.

I can't even handle the amount of "why can't men just accept a woman who acts like a coworker instead of demanding that women work to create an emotional attachment with them. I mean that's why the women's rights movement exists so I can do whatever I please and men have to submit"
It's sad that our society is so fucked up that it is taboo to suggest there be intimacy and compassion in a relationship. It shouldn't be a chore to do something nice for your partner. It shouldn't feel like your rights are being violated if you are asked to do something.
I give up.
