Did Whitehead et al ever stop to think that these women wouldn't be any happier or any less clueless no matter what?

Probably not.

Now go take a Midol and watch a rerun of Friends. I wasn't whinning. Just opening a topic of discussion.

It most definitely is whining. Oh poor me I've got an education and a good job and xyz personal possessions but I can't find a man.

So? If you think it will help you to find a man, divest! Call the university and have them expunge your degree from the records, give your house and possessions to charity, quit your job. Then put place a personals ad in the paper saying you're a high school graduate with no particular job skills looking for LTR with your goal being "traditional" marriage and children.

I mean c'mon, if all these things are the problem and they're scaring all the good men away from you, then it seems rather simple to fix the situation. Divest!

NOTE: I'm using YOU in the rhetorical sense. I'm talking about all these anecdotal whiny women people like Whitehead supposedly dig up. I'm not talking about you personally and have no interest in criticizing your personal affairs.

These women need to grow up and stop whining. Anyone who wants can find a good man to marry. It's not that hard. There are plenty of men who are too picky and end up alone as well. That's what is happening to these women to. Only they don't want to face that, they'd rather blame their education and career for scaring men off, when in fact it is their whiny personalities.

Also I can't stand Friends. Talk about a group of whiny women. And by the way, none of the women portrayed on Friends has a "career". They have menial jobs at best. And it hasn't helped them find mates past 30 either. Yet they do nothing but sit around and whine about their plight as they flit from one no-account man to the next. No doubt these fake TV women are the role models for Whitehead's whiners.
