That was my POINT! Now you have to post 2 more cuties!!
Ms Independent would have been born somewhere around 1968. That was a hot time in our history. On this July 4, 2006 we recall that 55,000+ young men died in Vuetnam. I'm sure many of them too wanted to live and have a family. God bless them, and I remember them in my prayers.
Ms Independent would have gone through middle school and high school from about 1980 to 1986. During those years she would have been praised, encouraged, and given a lot of talk about what she can accomplish. You know, a lot of this woo hoo girl power crap. Graduating in approximately 1986 she would have gone on to college.
She probably actually met one or two men who were interested in her. Rush Limbaugh touched on this once, on how many women who are still single had the chance, but they, like Ms Independent chose to pursue a career and demonstrate - yea verily - PROVE their equality with men. And so, she did.
She would have graduated around 1990. You go girl, WOO HOO. Yikes - a LOT of feminism around then, rivers of it. She got a job, and settled in. In time, she started earning good money, got a good car, and had a nice place to live. And during this time, she didn't quite meet a man good enough for her. Though she learned how to compete with men, she just never quite learned how to talk to them. Oh, she still had her klatchy female friends, so it was comforting to her. Kind of like how comforting the N.Y. Times is to liberals.
She is dimly aware now, that she blew it big time. All those years of education and a career, and at 38 she has to write to a hack columnist for advice on how to get a man, and have a baby. Sad isn't it? She should have asked that question at age 22. In fact, my advice to all young women who want a man and a baby, is to start asking that question now. Don't wait until you're a clueless 38-yeard old. Alone, afraid, and childless.
