OVER AT RICOCHET, they’re talking about Men On Strike, but — as is usual with Ricochet — the most interesting stuff is in the comments. Here’s my favorite, which quotes Adam Smith:

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer, or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. – Adam Smith

Similarly, why can it not be true that it is not from the benevolence of men that we expect marriage and family, but from their regard to their own interest?

Indeed.
