I can only speak for myself, but as a woman in her early twenties with three degrees, a burgeoning career and a current international athlete, I don't need a man to 'rescue me from my sad, single life and look after me' (I've been told those exact words.)

Why, when we have worked so hard, should we accept anything less than respect? We look for partners, not third parents.
