Women are freezing their eggs because they cannot find similarly successful men

[Anonymous]

We just need to start rasing our kids like the Asians and Africans do.

No more finding yourself college years?

You have a career picked out before you apply to undergrad.
During undergrad you find husband/wife

You graduate undergrad.

You get married.

Graduate school/ Fun travels.

Finish Grad school and have babies.

All done by 30.

Granted it would take parents focusing more on attending college for a career and not just an experience.

It would take prioritizing marriage and children and not just dating, and sex , and partying.

Second top tier is still majority male.... try again.... sorry you aren't hot enough to land an alpha male lol

The bad news for you is that the alpha males who do go to law school or business school don't want some annoying 30-something striver in a pantsuit like you. They'll go get an early 20s trophy wife who isn't obsessed with her stupid, meaningless "career".

Biglaw associate with a trophy wife? Yeah right. Not at my firm at least.

This is interesting. Should women simply have children on their own and raise them themselves?

Um, why not just have kids with a man who is "less successful" professionally?

But the short answer is no. Kids raised by single moms do not do well at all.

Why would you want your children to have a father who is less successful?

Because success defined as professional achievement and money is only one facet of what makes a good partner.

I wanted both, professionally successful and a good partner. Many women who are professionally successful want more than a guy who's a good partner.

Full disclosure: childless/free woman here.

I think some women don't really want to have kids, but they want to continue to have the options. It's like Schrodinger's cat.

Are you married?

This is interesting. Should women simply have children on their own and raise them themselves? Why are men unable to compete similarly on a professional level to women?

Because there are only so many high paying jobs. Not that it's a bad thing, but men have to compete with twice the number of people they used to for high status jobs. Seems obvious to me why these women may have a hard time finding equally successful men.

This premise is wrong because more people in the workforce means more productivity, more development, and more jobs.

Keep believing that, but all you need to do is look at the workforce participation rate to know that it's a real issue. Only so many general counsel, CIO or CFO jobs to go around. How about this, if you want to date a true financial and career 'equal' then you cannot date any male counterpart that you ever beat out in an interview. Limits the dating pool a bit doesn't it?

Lucky if you are just moderately successful. I'm a female staff attorney who will never make GC, married to an educated, hard working male staff attorney.

Because "less successful professionally" does not mean he is not kind, intelligent, or a good father.

But he may be not very ambitious, and I wouldn't want an unambitious man to father my children.

Successful women no longer need a man. We can take care of ourselves.

As someone who went through IVF (unexplained fertility) to have all my kids I'm going to recommend that my daughters freeze their eggs in their early 20s.

Um, the smart move, if you want grandkids, is to recommend that you daughters get married in their early 20s and have babies in their late 20s.

That kinda plays havoc with a traditional top tier career though.

so a career is stupid and meaningless if a woman pursues it - she's a pantsuited striver - but a prerequisite for a man? Why does the gender of the person change the value of a career?

No thanks. The finding myself, partying, traveling 20s were the best decade ever.

Lowercase pp, are you a 10? Let's see it, and your alpha rainmaker husband.

What makes them think they are going to have any more luck when they're 40?

This is just more from the refusal to grow up generation.

You will have that to console you after you hit your 40s, also known as "the cat lady decades".
