The MP3 file is here. (from 1/22/2010)

Topics:

• women are “marrying down” educationally and financially
• what do women typically want out of husbands and marriage?
• are women happier bring the primary breadwinners?
• has the feminist agenda driven men out of the university?
• should there be complementarity or equality in the home?
• men mature more slowly so they are less ready to marry
• is it sensible for men to stay at home and for women work?
