[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While everyone is bitching and complaining about Donald Trump being our next President do you all realize what will happen to the SC?

One seat is vacant.
RBG is 83.
Kennedy is 80.
Breyer is 78.

In 8 short years the Spureme Court of our nation will be 7 Conservative Judges against 2 single white middle aged females. Your world, as you know it, will be changed for the next 35 years.[/quote]

Curious why you felt the need to remark on the 2 women's marital status.[/quote]

You don't see anything unusual about intellectuals not finding a mate or willing to reproduce? How many single Presidents have you seen?[/quote]

Quite common for women.  Men tend not to carry the weight in marriages as far as household and familiial chores are concernned - that burden tends to fall to women.  Unmarried women who are free of those same duties can likewise get ahead in their careers just like men.

I work in academia and it's remarkable to compare the difference in numbers of tenured or advanced women who are not married or don't have kids or have only one to those women who are married and have more than one child. And then look at the men, where those differences are nowhere near as pronounced.  In other words, if you have a wife, then having kids doesn't seem to penalize your career much.  But if you have a husband and kids, it surely seems to.[/quote]

In fake resume studies white men receive a bonus for having kids while all women are penalized for having kids, woc penalized the most.  It's called t he motherhood penalty ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherhood_penalty

In a situation like the SC where appointees are picked from a culmination of a number of career steps, it would be more common to find a woman with no kids than a man.
