The younger women I know suffered through their parents divorce. As a result they are terrified of marriage.

One of the goals of feminism was to liberate women from patriarchy by the elimination of marriage. Feminism has largely succeeded. No longer is marriage viewed as the only appropriate context for sex, but the entertainment culture has deluded us in to thinking love or lust is the proper context for sex. Hence sex is withheld in marriage and the fornication epidemic is spreading. The result is the destabilization of society.
You go girl! Soon not only will there be no men to marry, but none will defend you, innovate technology, fix your car or allow you to rob him through the family courts. Feminism is societal suicide!

More women choose not to marry because they’ve been propagandized to believe that men are rotten, no good evil oppressors.

In my sister’s case, she allowed the perfect to be the enemy of the acceptable. She had a list longer than my arm of all the things the only guy she would deign to marry HAD to have. He had to be taller than her, make more money, be more educated, never been married, have no children, have the right kind of hobbies, be very good looking, dress the right way, buy her the right kind of gifts (without prompting), be a great cook, have the right career, be the perfect communicator, be great in bed, love cats, the list went on and on. As she got older, the pool of men that fit all her rules dwindled to nothing, and she wasn’t “settling.” Now she’s 50, in ill health, alone, and bitter about the few guys that came close to meeting her standards who ended their relationships with her (probably because they got tired of trying to be perfect enough).
