[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know this forum is a bubble, but let's not pretend that SMBC is a viable option for the vast majority of women for logistical and financial reasons.  That doesn't mean you should settle for a loser, but for most people the choice is settle vs. no kids, not settle vs, SMBC.[/quote]

With all due respect, yes it is. IVF may be prohibitively expensive but that’s not the only route to SMBC. Most households with children are headed by women, so while how much of that is “choice” is anyone’s guess, there’s no overwhelming financial or logistical hurdle here. [/quote]

I mean, kids are expensive.  Most families need two incomes to make it work.  Or one income with the other parent home providing childcare.  How many women make enough money and/or have enough family support to afford it on their own?[/quote]

15.6 million American children are raised by single mothers. So clearly a reasonable number of women believe they can make it work OR find themselves in a position where they have to. Better to make it a choice than have it chosen for you IMO. [/quote]

They don't "find" themselves in that situation so much as make choices that led to a predictable outcome.  [/quote]
