27. I didn't get out of the article that anyone was quibbling about 10 points

one way or the other or that spouses had to be exact equals.

It sounded to me like it was about men who wanted to not have their authority and or superiority threatened. And that they want a "caregiver" (which is the mommy part).

"I'd been noticing a trend along these lines, as famous and powerful men took up with the young women whose job it was to tend to them and care for them in some way: their secretaries, assistants, nannies, caterers, flight attendants, researchers and fact-checkers." M.Dowd
