i’ll agree with the oh so articulate 26-year-old simon. the article gives men a bad rap by focusing only on the insecure, self-important types. let’s hope the successful women can use those smarts to stay away from them and try to find the simons out there.

as a journalist myself: just because the media calls it a trend, doesn’t mean it is one. sometimes, it’s just the result of writer’s block on deadline day :)
