Women are happy to see that other women are raising their standards.

People had a lot to say about Greg's article, and they didn't take pity on the lonely, single men. Most blamed the men for not treating women properly, which resulted in women raising their standards. We've seen a lot of opinions here, but what do you think about this?
Wait, the lonely woman adopted a puppy against her partner’s wishes, see how that played out.
