Gawker
calls Michael Noer's "Don't Marry Career Women"
piece one of the most sexist, chauvinistic articles in the history of respectable periodicals," but
Jack Shafer says "some of the sensational findings presented in the Forbes piece appear to be gender-neutral and hence don't bait feminists at all." He notes: "Noer holds that the literature indicates that 'highly educated people are more likely to have had extra-marital sex,' and 'individuals who earn more than $30,000 a year are more likely to cheat.' So, if career women are bad marriage bets, so are career men. It's a wash."

Rebecca Traister:
"The furor over 'Don't Marry Career Women' is a testament to the speed of an
angry blogosphere, but also to the anachronistic and wholly outrageous tone of the article."
