THE news that 51 percent of all women live without a spouse might be enough to make you invest in cat futures.
But consider, too, the flip side: about half of all men find themselves in the same situation. As the number of people marrying has dropped off in the last 45 years, the marriage rate has declined equally for men and for women.
The stereotype has been cemented in the popular culture: the hard-charging career girl who gets her comeuppance, either violently or dying a slow death by late-night memo and Chinese takeout...
But when it comes to marriage, the two Americas aren’t divided by gender. And it’s not the career girls on the losing end. It’s their less educated manicurists or housekeepers, women who might arguably be less able to live on their own.
The emerging gulf is instead one of class — what demographers, sociologists and those who study the often depressing statistics about the wedded state call a “marriage gap” between the well-off and the less so.
Statistics show that college educated women are more likely to marry than non-college educated women — although they marry, on average, two years later.
Women with more education also are becoming less likely to divorce, or inclined to divorce, than those with less education. They are even less likely to be widowed all in all, less likely to end up alone.

Gal? LOL
The words feminazi and gal come from two different generations, philosophies, lifestyles, agendas, etc etcetc. It's really a hoot to see them used together.
You know how guys are... always drinking from the carton...
Amen to that. I've been reading Mark Steyn's new book. The main thrust is that people in the Western world stopped having kids some time ago, and will ultimately be overrun by Muslims who are breeding like rabbits.
Just a legal fiction? If you look at what many FReeper men are looking for, that's one of the most sought after features! Careers and self sufficiency are much frowned upon, as, I imagine are women who have their own assets they might like to protect with a prenup.
Of course, but there is no shortage of people.

Your time would be better spent dealing with truth...but suit yourself.
Indeed should he be so foolish as to remarry to a woman who has a job, the new wife's income gets added to his and his alimony payments go up!
LOL!

It's the same thing, ain't it?
Why buy the cow...
Judging by some of the responses I think they achieved their goal.
LOL! The spell checker changed my text!
BINGO.
I've used that excuse...
BUMP
I wish I would of known this 20 years ago.....I would of had kids. We need to get this out to our young kids.
I know you're ribbing me, but still:
" Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman. But opposing fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband... He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord; But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please [his] wife."
Only if one's motivation is to be able to focus his entire life on the LORD does Paul permit remaining single; elsewise, he commands marriage.
Well, unless and until you work to change that law, I guess it would encourage one to choose wisely. Making marriage easier to get out of certainly hasn't won sweeping Freeper approval either.
