“Marriage and kids aren’t for everyone.”

That is true, and for women who are natured like you, they finally got the choice to live your way and support themselves with high-paying jobs if they achieved at a high level, as opposed to having their career choices limited as they used to be. For example, if a woman wants to be a 747 pilot, she can go for the job. She used to be told she could not pursue such work.

The woman in the article is now unhappy with her choices at age 50, but any number of women who made similar choices are not unhappy.

I wonder what percentage of aging spinsters are happy?

I don't buy that for a second.

Creating and having a family is one of the central aspects of the human experience. Those who have bought into the concept of fulfillment without family, have no idea what they've given up.

Then again, those who've watched their clocks run out, probably do.
