The other morning on the subway I sat next to an attractive young blonde woman who was reading something on her iPad.She was very welldressed,carrying a Prada bag with tastefully applied makeup indeed,she had an unmistakable air of wealth,material success and even authority.I suspected she worked as a highlypaid Wall Street lawyer or stockbroker or something of that sort.So,I was curious to see what she was so focused on.The Wall Street Journal perhaps? The Economist?

Is this a rejection of modern feminism? Do women long for days of old when men were masculine gentlemen and women were feminine and protected as precious treasures and regarded as possessions?
