Take Back the Blog!

One need only read the comments under a post below on pay equity to understand why there needs to be a Take Back the Blog blogswarm. Does anyone REALLY believe that women choose to be downwardly mobile because of their desire to find a mate? Someone named "Stanton" does.

Stanton says:

One social force which I believe shapes the pay gap (and have not seen explored) is the mating instinct. Simply stated, higher pay increases the field of possible mates for males and decreases the field for females. This exerts downward pressure on the motivations of females to increase their compensation levels and upward pressure on that of males.

Do you believe this?
