The only flaw with this article is that I don't think career-women are necessarily looking for an equal as much as a "better" (higher earner). "The census labels childless college-educated women over age 35 the “delayer boom” — as if we gathered together in a collective conspiracy in defiance of motherhood. The trouble with all this finger pointing is that it leaves out half of the baby-making equation: men. Women want an equal partner, but there are increasingly fewer candidates to choose from. The census reports that “the average adult woman in the US is more likely to be a college graduate than the average adult man.” Moreover, today’s young, childless female city-dwellers with college degrees are out-earning their male counterparts by 8 cents on the dollar. Their higher incomes may be why they are less likely (29 percent) to be living with their parents than single men (35 percent)." |

You have the education.
You have the career. You have the money for a home and childcare. You have IVF at your disposal. You don't need men. |
Please leave |
No the PP, but what's wrong with this response? |
This is what I'm seeing more and more. Women want the family without a man. If they truly want kids it's going to be with some random guy, a bf, or the sperm bank. No custody battles, no exes bothering them, no ex in laws and all the other horrible dilemmas people get themselves into. I don't see anything wrong with it. It's all about personal choices. |
| I Don't think single incomes and no partner help would work with raising a child. Career suicide and mental suicide. |
| Women have more opportunities, take those opportunities, raise their expectations, and the world doesn't cough up men who meet those strict requirements. Obviously men are to blame. |
| Or we just don't want kids? |
Because you're robbing your child of having a father? B/c every single study done shows children do better in 2-parent households? Especially boys. |
Who needs boys. They grow into men and they are clearly surplus to requirements. |
Mental defect if this is the case and nature is correcting course by preventing this genetic mutation |
lol Were those studies done by men?? Kids are doing the worst with divorced parents. They do the best in a stable household regardless...single, or married and together. |
You are too funny. |
Amen, sistah (or brotha)! |
So let me get this straight. If I can provide a loving stable home for a child, I should not have one because the one thing I don't have is a partner? It would be better in your eyes to settle for a man, any man, then embark on this journey by myself? And when the marriage goes south, because I settled, it's better that the children live through divorce? Or maybe you think that I should have to have to suck it up and endure the marriage I settled for because I wanted children? Then again, what if he leaves against my wishes--you know because you can't control if someone wants to be in a relationship. |
