Like Colbert, I disagree with Venker's point of view. She's undermining women's progress in the working world by telling professional women that they are not as desirable because they are successful. First of all, I know plenty of men who are attracted to intelligence and competence in a women just as much as any other quality. Second of all, not all women live their lives with one goal in mind -- to find a husband -- but Venker seems to think that they do. I'm pro-marriage and all, but I just don't see how being a successful woman would deter men from wanting to marry you.
