Childish men are to blame for women having kids late in life
New York Post ^ | 05/13/2017 | Melanie Notkin

I hear the same story, told in different ways, all over New York City. There’s 34-year-old Kate, who works in finance downtown. “She’s beautiful, smart, talented . . . everything going for her,” her colleague tells me. “But her boyfriend doesn’t feel settled in his career, so she spent thousands of dollars to freeze her eggs as she waits for him to be ready.

Only the most childish of all men and women on the planet assume that childishness is a trait driving the destructiveness caused by feminism.

Traditionally, the woman got to decide if and when a man got sex and the man got to decide if and when a woman got commitment. Entire civilizations were built on that interplay and over time came up with solutions that resulted in happy, fruitful families (because the ones that didn't were unable to raise enough successful children to survive in this tough world.) We decided about 2 generations ago to throw all those successful strategies out the window and devalue the man's negotiating position by bringing the govt into the deal.

New strategies are being negotiated now between men and women. Remains to be seen if anything successful comes out of them.

Moreover, today’s young, childless female city-dwellers with college degrees are out-earning their male counterparts by 8 cents on the dollar. Their higher incomes may be why they are less likely (29 percent) to be living with their parents than single men (35 percent).

That's funny, I could have sworn Liberals said women were only being paid 70 cents to every male dollar.

As technology advances in about another 10 years she might be able to buy a “babybot” and “husbandbot” and then as the years go by she can trade the “babybot” in for older appearing models. She can help pretend she’s still young by keeping the same looking robotic hubby in whose “eyes” she will always be her young attractive self.

This is the result of the war on boys and men by the left.

To them, masculinity is evil, and they have done all they can to suppress it.

Well my father was a retired NYC cop and they at first didn’t want to arrest the guy, to “resolve it” but like me my dad was really ticked off and got them to arrest him on disorderly conduct. I wanted to kill that SOB like you cannot imagine. My parents were in their late 70s at the time and my mother would go into panic attacks if the garbage wasn’t taken out, so you can imagine what this did to her. We almost had to call an ambulance to calm her down. I actually went back to that restaurant almost every night looking for that guy for almost a year. If I found him without question I would have beaten him within an inch of his life, possibly even killed him, jail be damned. Try to imagine that - The utter disrespect some SOB you don’t even know shows towards your parent by knocking over their drink and dinner and then grabbing them, oh my God! Let me stop writing because just thinking about it is getting me all ticked off again.

I agree...the complete dysfunction of the political system is one of those societal problems.

The radical leftists of the sixties wanted to pursue a scorched earth policy when they got into power, and that is exactly what they have done.

As I’ve said, I don’t think the women in the article really know what they want.

But even when I was young and dating in the ‘70s, it was hard to find a young man who wanted to marry young and didn’t expect a girl to fall into bed with him very soon, with no commitment. They had avidly bought-into the ‘free love’, no-responsibility idea, and there were plenty of women who bought-into it with them to whom they could turn, instead of taking on responsibility.

Also, a lot of young adults now were brought up by extremely indulgent parents who spoiled them; they haven’t got a realistic awareness of life and responsibility, or the beauty and reward that settling down and dealing with real life entail. (And there’s a lot of truth in what utahagen stated in post 117.)

If you teach your kids to have real character and to recognize and value it in others, they will be immune to a lot of the negative aspects of culture, media, etc. - or at least learn their lessons sooner and less painfully.

I think that people are generally more selfish today than past generations, and neither sex has a monopoly on that. But I also know too many bright, idealistic young people to be depressed about the future. As a culture, we will learn from all of this and get over it.

Shaming tactics only reinforce the rational decision to avoid marriage like a rabid dog...just say’n.

>>>Maybe these “women” need to ditch the entitlement attitude.

It doesn’t matter which side of the political spectrum, there seems to be this notion that women only need to bring their boobs and vagina, and that alone should cause men to turn into brainless simps too legally bind themselves to them with no expectations on her part but an endless list of demands for him.<<<

Seriously, what do 30 something sluts, like the author of this article, have to offer a man besides her body? I’m gonna sit right by my computer and wait for your reply.

Paying for semen is probably in her future since he’ll probably leave her soon. This article will eventually get back to him, if it hasn’t already. It’ll be a, “Nice to know how you really feel about me, I really dodged a bullet there” moment.

Cinderella, said to be about love, is in fact about a poor woman being sought after by the richest man in the land.

As opposed to the women who want to collect notches on their bedpost for 25 years and then settle on raising “fur babies”?

NOW and the Weather Underground explicitly sought to “smash monogamy” to fight the patriarchy.

Margaret Sanger sought to kill off a generation of Westerners in Europe (she advocated NO MORE BABIES for a period of 10 years for ALL women in Western Europe, no choice in the matter).

Reap what you sow.

>>When I hit 60 last year I was told 60 was the new 40.

That mantra is going around to get people to stop looking forward to retiring. Diminished expectations.

The support for moral behavior evaporated decades below.

Great post. It is very difficult for men and women who seek to avoid this moral rip current.

I know I’ve seen this a lot, so here it is.. They think they can change them. And when they do, they divorce them because they’re not the man they married! Bwahaha, the leftist lack of logic for you there.

...But I’m going to make an assumption that Kate was busy being a strong independent woman.

Assume...

Need we say more?

It would be just as legitimate to say that en are all stocked up on "crazy", no need to invest in more crazy.

From the article:

"Women want an equal partner, but there are increasingly fewer candidates to choose from.

Who said anybody is "equal" (whatever the hell THAT means)?

Looks as if "Kate" has a choice to make: Does she value a loving relationship and offspring or does she value having the perfect man. Her call.

meat in the freezer always tastes funny. Freezing eggs can’t be all dandy.

I can't imagine it doesn't cause DNA damage.
