Actually she does say in the article that she doesn’t need a man, but that she wants one.

All that means is that she's 75% of the way to the Truth.

What I find shocking is that so many people here on FR are actually *bashing* her for coming out and saying this--which, in her circles, is an incredibly brave thing to do.

It's completely conterproductive and wrong to trash someone who's done and about-face and is now agreeing with you.

Encouragement is what this poor soul needs.

I think many people are reacting to her continuing attitude that men are just not good enough for her and her friends, and yet somehow they should have children now that they’ve decided they want them. It’s VERY Maureen Dowd, and she’s not even as attractive as Maureen. (Maybe pictures of Catherine Zeta-Jones would be in order; she does know how to dress and fix her hair.)

Sorry, I still don’t agree. She has lived her live pursuing her own selfish interests and now she rues that she will be alone. Still thinking of herself, still worried about her own needs and happiness. That’s exactly what feminism is, she hasn’t changed.

She blames her mother and other feminists of her mother’s age for not telling her that eventually, she would be too old (though she actually isn’t yet). You mean to tell me that in all of her life, she never looked beyond career? It’s not as if mothers are hidden away.

Sorry, she is to blame for the way her life turned out, just as she is capable of changing it now. That is if she can get over herself.
