It is addressing trends. When young upwardly mobile women forgo marriage for recreational sex and career and then “settle down” after their biological clock has ceased to be fertile (needing medical treatments that give us a disproportionate number of twins and triplets) it changes the culture. They also will be about a generation older than the mothers of the other kids at their child’s school (not everyone is a sexually liberated yuppie).
The intellectuals got so smart that they ceased to reproduce.
It’s an almost soviet-style indoctrination. The SATC/Cosmo-girl/Rom-com life plan. You go all-out on the glamorous career and boffo sex life from 18 to 33, then McDreamy will stumble into your life and sweep you off your feet and you will live happily ever after.
If not? Well, stock up on the kitty litter, I guess...
I agree with you....I think VIAGRA has changed our culture....it postpones the inevitable for middle aged and old men....so rather than growing up and older as nature intended, they instead can still act like 17 yros and we wonder why the world is in such a mess....
the world needs the middle aged and older men and their wisdom ...their world views...their fatherly instincts......it doesn't need to have that maturity postponed....
