Probably not. due to reference to silly and ignorant Written by Tracy W (5/3/2007 8:13 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Minds more vacant...and...their marriage money, penned by Gloria

I don't think Mr Bennet is referring to money as he then goes on to complete the sentence with ...they are all silly and ignorant, like other girls (chpt 1).

So he's talking about their mental abilities.
