And therein lies her problem. Marriage isn't supposed to be a competition between two egos - if she sees it that way it's no wonder men avoid marrying her. I suspect the men in her life know her by a certain 5-letter word.
I can name that tune in four letters...
Unfortunately, this woman is one of those who has been taught that housewife/mother=slave. Were she to become a mother, her liberal "sisters" would rail on about how she "sold out" to the male dominated patriarchy.
As a side note, this kind of attitude diminishes the importance of motherhood.
The attitude of liberal woman toward someone who'd choose family over career is much like those of Blacks who tell a successful Black that he has "sold out his race."
I wish someone would tell this woman that she is looking at it from the wrong point of view. She needs to be told that were she to give up her job for marriage and children, she would be taking on a second career. A career that is without a doubt one of the toughest to succeed at.
Translation: "No way in hell am I going to let any man tell me what to do. But other than that, why doesn't anyone ask me out?"
