What do you guys think of the attempt to change perception of being an older single woman?

Why does she have to be a spinster? What about and Old Maid or a Maiden Aunt?

She needs to accessorize properly.

Men and Women are different. The fact that women cherish family and children is ingrained in biology.

Social planners can’t make men and women become interchangeable cogs in a machine, no matter how hard they try.

Another nail in the coffin of Western Civilization.

I am a spinster, old maid, maiden Aunt or whatever term people want to throw at me. Do I obsess over it? No. Do I let other people’s comments get to me? Rarely.

Would I like to be married? Of course.

Actually the worst comments and “pity” generally come from other single women. I don’t hang around with them because everything devolves into a disfunctional support group about not meeting anyone.

My married friends accept me as the one who never met anyone to settle down with and after watching the messes some of my siblings and cousins have made, my parents are fine with my life.

It would never occur to me to care about old or new or in between “tropes”. Don’t know why women do. Don’t much care. Live your life, die, go to judgment.

The First World War left nearly a million British women without husbands. Although Britain survived, its empire crumbled.

The War on the Family has had a much larger effect. The ultimate effect on Western Civilization is unknown.

Ladies, if you were in your 50’s or above and were looking for a man, what would your first thought be about a man your age who had never married? Would you consider him without concern?

It would make me do a lot of thinking. But then again, I’m not a spinster.
