[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Feminism. It will be very interesting to see the younger generations of women age single, and alone, with no families of their own. Will they have enough saved for retirement? How will they make it? I have an older female relative -- single, childless, early 70s -- living in another relative's garage because they lost their job. Can't find another one that covers the bills, now health is failing. Without the help of nieces and nephews, she might be on the streets. [/quote] Well yes to the first part. Prior to around the 60/70s women were literally dependent on their fathers or husbands for survival. Additionally, there was no effective way to control how many children they birthed. Now women have the ability to support themselves without a husband and avoid birthing dependents to support. Perhaps unsurprisingly, many simply prefer spinsterhood over the companionship men. I happen to be a happily married conservative mother, but it’s not a mystery why this is happening. [/quote]
