In the past 50 years, women without children have begun to redefine the traditional narratives of family and fulfillment. In the 1970s, about one in every 10 women would exit their childbearing years without bearing children. In the mid 2000s, that statistic became one in five. In the past 10 years, the childbearing rate of women in their 20s has fallen yet another 15%. The data says it all: More and more women every year are opting out of motherhood. I am immensely proud to be one of 22 million women aged 20-39 in the U.S. who have not given...

The stigma of the “childless cat lady” persists, but these days, more young adults are embracing that label and opting out of parenthood — and benefitting, at least monetarily.

Hot on the heels of their global superstar owner's public announcement that she was supporting Kamala Harris for president, Taylor Swift's cats issued a press release endorsing former President Donald Trump.

"This election is about what kind of country we want to have," Benjamin Button said...

After a weird pressure campaign, Taylor Swift posted this on Instagram announcing her support for Kamala Harris last night: That text seems a little small, so let’s blow it up a bit: Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight. If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most.

White liberal women to the rescue! White liberal women are now unleashing their super powers to help Kamala Harris and women of color! According reports, nearly 200,000 white women were on the ‘white women for Kamala Harris’ Zoom call over the weekend. “The meeting was organized by Shannon Watts, the founder of Moms Demand Action, a gun-safety group with about 10 million members.” Reuters reported. A former teacher turned ‘influencer’ named “Mrs. Frazzled,” infantilized the entire group of women and spoke to them like toddlers. “As white women we need to use our privilege to make positive changes,” Mrs. Frazzled...
