And those career women who did have one child? A lot of them likely had a child with mental and emotional deficits (e.g. autism) -- due to having delayed childbearing until they were past the optimal age.

Some did have some problems. Also, they tend to pamper their "perfect" children.

At some point, women are going to realize that their feminist fantasy indoctrination is not the way life really works -- at least not the Sex and the City scenario of women having "fun" + career, and waiting until their mid-30s to try to find a decent man to settle down with and have children.

I'm not so sure. I live in a liberal city. One thing I've noticed is no matter how many rational arguments you make they refuse to see the truth threw their emotional self-righteous fog.

I live in a liberal city. One thing I've noticed is no matter how many rational arguments you make they refuse to see the truth threw their emotional self-righteous fog.

True, but I've seen signs of light glimmering through the fog recently.

One sign that there might be a sea-change coming in the thinking of so-called educated women came a couple weeks ago ... when I heard an NPR commentator talking about taking her impaired child to a special therapy class.

She said she "couldn't help but notice" that most of the other moms bringing their tots to this class were "older career women," like herself.

This got her thinking that maybe, just maybe, there could be a correlation between being an "older mom," and having an impaired child. She allowed that her experience was anecdotal, and also reasoned that her location (urban NYC) was likely to produce a lopsided proportion of such cases.

However when this NPR person did a little more research, she found that the phenomenon did not appear to be confined to hip, urban areas, but was a nationwide trend.

One NPR commentator doesn't make a trend; however I think this insight is going to spread like wildfire amongst older career women. Their desire to have children will be very dampened once these women begin to realize that their chances of having that "perfect" child (as you put it) are significantly diminished after about age 34.
