Childish men are to blame for women having kids late in life
New York Post ^ | 05/13/2017 | Melanie Notkin

I hear the same story, told in different ways, all over New York City. There’s 34-year-old Kate, who works in finance downtown. “She’s beautiful, smart, talented . . . everything going for her,” her colleague tells me. “But her boyfriend doesn’t feel settled in his career, so she spent thousands of dollars to freeze her eggs as she waits for him to be ready.

“Well looky here. Another article using shaming language against men. Men who choose not to have children are “childish”. Not responsible, not thoughtful, not focused, but childish.”

Generally yes, on the nose.

There can be exceptions when a man knows he wouldn’t be cut out for it.

If so, he ought not waste the time of a woman who does want kids.

In general, childish men are the cause of our societal problems and the fact that their number has ballooned since the 60’s explains our lot in the US.

True. Of course we should be selective about someone as important to our lives as a potential spouse. But, if you are too selective, screening out otherwise outstanding people, you may find you end up alone. Some of these women should think about that.

NO SH!T! And what you pick when younger may well reduce the odds of the something else later.

I for one am worn out from paying for others to attempt to hit their constantly moving target .

I can’t blame a woman for not wanting to have kids if there is no guy i(who has his act together) in the equation.

Since the ‘60s...........

It seems like many societal problems we deal with can be traced back to the social upheavals of the ‘60s........

Ol Kate don’t have to wait. She can hit the sperm donation clinic and have a kid in 9 months. Or is it that she needs to have some sucker on the hook for the next 18 years?

I thought these same women have said that pregnancy is a disease. They can’t have it both ways.

I think most women who really want children and family can find a man to love and be loved by.

The women in this article are wasting too much time on men who don’t want that. It makes me wonder if the women really know what THEY want.

“If the milk is free, why buy the cow.”

“Give them and inch and they’ll take a mile.”

“Kate, you should have Dumped-the-Chump about 5 to 10 years ago.”

living in Manhattan for 30 years, I recognize these women all too well.

They are self centered, lazy, entitled, promiscuous in the extreme, and suddenly in their early 30s wonder why “all the good men are gone”

look in the mirror young lady

Of course it’s the man’s fault. With feminists it is always the man’s fault. Everything.

Conservative women are smart enough to marry a man that is ready to have a family if that is what she wants.

Conservative women are independent and strong enough to make a decision that possibly a certain man is not right for them and what they want in life and move on.

If only her man wasn't so childish

Women who spend their 20s f***ing their brains out have a hell of a nerve criticizing the suckers they want to leech off of after they hit 30.

I agree that Kate is an idiot. Her boyfriend is not going to marry her, he just wants to keep the relationship going the way it is, with him getting laid with no strings attached.

You should observe a grammar school at the morning drop off or dismmisl time and see the age of the people who are actually raising the kids.

“... adopted children overseas...”

Look up the Hague Agreement. Overseas adoptions are a thing of the past or darn near. FWIW... our youngest was one of the last groups that didn’t involve 5 plus years of waiting/redoing all the forms/waiting/etc.. Infertile couples can now view “open adoption” (and don’t get me started on that!) or using a surrogate. In rare.. and I mean RARE cases, they can try to find children via the state. However, most are on medications and have emotional/behavioral/extreme medical problems.
