I think it’s true that “It takes a mighty good husband to be better than none.”

So you're saying that the option of no husband would be better than the option of "only moderately good husband?!" That if, faced with only those two alternatives, women should choose spinsterhood and childlessness - i.e., self-extinction?

Is that what you are saying?

Regards,

I didn’t make it up — just something I saw on a greeting card once. But I agree.

“Mighty good” doesn’t mean great, excellent, or perfect. Mighty good is the best you can hope for; anything less is worse than spinsterhood and childlessness. Anything better is gravy.

Yeah... I’ll just take any ol’ husband, no matter how mean and nasty he is, as long as he can impregnate me, and so I don’t have to live alone. That’s some great plan. No husband definitely would be better, IMO. Others, I’m sure, feel differently, and that’s an option for them. Free will.

And I decided in the ‘70s that I didn’t want kids, so a “childlessness” argument doesn’t touch me.

Divorced professional daughter seems to have made that lonely choice. Has a good dog thst she hikes/camps with, but the cat died. (The ex was a masshole liberal that could have grown up but didn’t have a work ethic. “Obamacare should be free”.)
