Ladies, Treat Your Men Like Pets by Captain Capitalism.
Pets vs. men -- pets win from Tyler @ Marginal Revolution.
Both are quite good reads. Good enough that I decided to post it instead of going to sleep.
EDIT: Some interesting tidbits in the comments on CC.
JMPP:
"Well, if men acted more like cats, maybe we'd treat them more like cats. Affectionate, eager to see you, appreciative of attention, etc...."
Diane:
"You want to be treated like a cat? Observe cats. There is a reason heterosexual women and gay men like them. They are what we want most out of men. We want a partner, not a slave. We want someone who will love us and snuggle us, and who’s affection we have to earn, and who will work to earn ours."
