Some valid points there. The mid 80's and early 90's brought about the idea of independence and professionalism- and historically feminism made significant progress through-out that period.
Enter the late 90's during the boom and turn of the century... and some-how ethics managed to get completely thrown out the window so far as I can tell. It has become completely socially acceptable for woman to use men to live beyond their means- often seeing dating as the ticket to easy street.
It has become so socially pervasive- everyday being glorified in the main stream media from hit shows like The Girls Next Door and Sex In the City that by the time the average teenage hawties sees 18 they can't pass a math or English test to save their life (knowing only how to speak retard)- yet rest assured they have learned all the angles to get what they want. Often somehow having rationalized it in their little bird sized brains that all that 'work' and 'compromise' entitles them to a lavish designer lifestyle in some huge crib for which they could not otherwise attain under their own means.
The bottom line is that a lot of woman, I imagine particularly down there in LA aren't their looking for a hot car, they are looking for a whole dealership.
A sad way to lead a life if you ask me.
