Could almost start a subthread about Atlantic Monthly articles that are supposed to be about gender but are actually about ruling class gender:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/10/the-weaker-sex/309094/
In 2012 America, as she points out, women are better educated than men (women earn the majority of bachelor’s and graduate degrees); an escalating number of single women younger than 30 earn more than their male peers; and nine of the 10 U.S. job industries with the most projected growth are women-dominated. This last figure has resulted from various societal shifts, ranging from a late-20th-century fall in manufacturing jobs to the rise of such lucrative, almost exclusively female professions as psychotherapy. (Indeed—do you know a male therapist? I don’t, and my last therapist charged a murderous $275 an hour.)

I really try to avoid being in the same corner as "oppressed men" types, but The Atlantic has really had a strong run of trolling my gender and it's getting under my skin a little.

I feel like that's one small step from making fun of those people, like this line could make hipster runoff:
“Come on, let’s go smoke cigars and play drunken Madden,” Mr. Brogan said, moving his thumbs to mime an Xbox controller. Mr. McLaughlin’s phone lit up and he jumped, but alas, it was only a Facebook status update.

I feel like talking openly about how sucky your marriage is has become a brooklyn ruling class thing, like they just dispense with that working class morals concept of not badmouthing their spouses.

there were so many stores like that opening up in the area around when we moved. There was this one TINY clothing shop called "Goose Barnacle" that was like "here is a rack with three plaid shirts. Each of them costs $250 dollars."
"Goose Barnacle" became a running joke with me and H -- a catchall term that we would use to describe any such seemingly useless vanity business.

So wait, was that line about cheese being moldy really nothing but an awkward metaphor? I was really hoping for a tell-all on the shitty quality control lurking underneath the surface of hip local stores.

Bloomberg gets in on the agonies game:

While there are things to celebrate for the senior professionals in these institutions, sadly I don’t think they do much celebrating,” Ralph Schlosstein, chief executive officer of New York-based boutique investment bank Evercore Partners Inc., said of the biggest financial firms. “The challenge they face is how to adjust to this new capital regime, and the new regulatory regime, and to earn an adequate return on equity. None of them have yet broken the code.”
