[quote=Anonymous]Women of that era may have had a "short shelf life" as you put it to men, or at least to men who wanted to have children right then. Childbirth was even more dangerous then than now, and it made sense to start young and survive it as long as you could. Fortunately, women now have a lot of options other than a man as their sole provider. They don't have a "short shelf life" to themselves, you see. They can get full formal educations, or trade jobs, or just about anything they desire, if they have the ability and drive. "Shelf life" only can be interpreted in terms of whose input matters and what their end goal was. When you include the women themselves -- as makes sense currently -- you can see why things changed. And for the better! It's a good time to be a woman.[/quote]
