Thanks for responding.
I’m all for calling out bad guys.
The harpies you describe are Hollywood stereotypes!
In my four decades here in usa, I’ve moved in all kinds of circles, except billionaire’s club.
Might’ve run across gold diggers and users. In my naïveté perhaps didn’t recognize them as such.
Trophy wives, yes, out with the old, in with the new. Men!
I’m a bit old school - I think it’s pleasing to see a man pay the bill at a restaurant. Initially at least. Further into a relationship Dutch is fine!

I like your writing. Of course I’ll keep reading your work!!
Incidentally, I’m a poet. I rage against not just patriarchy but also ravages of humankind.
