If you have a Gen Z daughter or niece ask her what her and her friends think of Sex and the City. They will say the women look super old and it’s so sad and gross they’re all single, partying, and hooking up with randoms. Most Gen Z girlies want to be married with a house by 25. That is a real pivot from what Gen X and Y trends.


Honestly, your Gen Z daughters and nieces won’t have a choice. They’ll be assigned to some Russian dude (or dudes) after we merge with Russia. Not much for this generation to look forward to.

Its a trend. You'll get to see reliable studies in few years if it went on.

After 58 pages, are there actual statistics on this uptick?

Honest q

Or is this strictly an anecdotal phenomenon of rich Mormons and rich Catholics and some south Asians?

It has been us vs them since the first page.

The Project 2025 crowd is trying to push their crazy on everyone else.


I don't see anyone saying women shouldn't have higher education, career, reproductive autonomy, financial independence etc. Only point is that they should be able to marry anytime after college if they prefer and have their ducks in a row, without being looked down upon as child bride by people pushing late marriages and geriatric pregnancies.


Thanks for proving my point.

Was this ever aspirational, though? I was in college during SATC’s heyday and while my friends and I loved the show and were entertaining by it, none of us actually wanted that kind of life for ourselves. We all married between 24-28, most of us have grad degrees and careers in addition to happy marriages with kids.


+1

It was a TV FFS. Fiction. Just like TikTok.

OP is disconnected from reality.

This has not been my experience at all. Weird that you think you can speak for all people 13-28.

My DD can have a house by 25 of she wants because we plan to help her (don't recommend it, a lot of maintenance for a young person)

I'll leave her to figure our when she wants a partner to share her life with.

Where would that be, dear?

Let me see if I actually care about that country.

They’re not wrong. The SATC women seem unhappy and kind of pathetic.

Don’t forget glorifying abortions. I think it boils down to wanting everyone as broken as they are. Imagine being triggered on a visceral level when you see two beautiful young adults getting married. These people are sick, miserable, and dark hearted.


I actually glorify abortion. It’s pretty cool that a woman who is carrying a non-viable fetus, experiencing an ectopic pregnancy or who was raped at age 12 could terminate her pregnancy. I also don’t live in la la land and rely on strange moral platitudes. But have fun believing the earth is less than 10,000 years old and women dying child birth is the right thing or whatever you’re into.


I'm also a mom who glorifies abortion. Without abortion my best friend would likely be dead and my honorary nephew wouldn't exist. When his older brother was slowly dying inside my friend, she wasn't forced to wait until she was in sepsis to get care. I glorify that.

What is going on with Millie Bobby Brown? Last few red carpet photos of her, she easily looks 40 years old and people can’t stop commenting - theories are that she has had a ton of Botox and filler but why at 20?!?!?

Worried about her.
