Marriage is nowhere near as stable as it was 50, even 30 years ago.
Women fear putting aside a career and earnings to instead invest themselves in child rearing, only to have the man leave them for a younger model and leave them in the lurch.
And statistically those fears are very valid. I for one and quite relieved that my daughters got educations and careers before they got married. If God forbid their marriages fall apart they’ll still be able to support themselves.
That’s a valid concern....but what about all the legions of women who followed the message put forth by feminists that they could have it all and thus put education and career first only to discover in the mid 30s that men were no longer interested? Acting on the idea that they would have a choice later....that it was only their decision that matters/that it doesn’t take two to tango and that the desires of men do not matter....has been and continues to be a disaster for many women.
