Maybe you should just be single

I was listening to a podcast where these two women are talking about the "sexodus." This article was mentioned and while it's a bit older I thought it would be fun to share.

Current trends are that Millennials are going to be childless at 40 at a much higher rate than Gen Xers or Boomers.

Here's something I found interesting from the author: romantic partnership is, and always has been, an economic arrangement. The economics may have changed in recent decades, as many women have gained more financial independence, but it’s still about the money. It’s about who does the domestic labour, the emotional labour, the work of healing the walking wounded of late capitalism."

I think that explains why singleness is on the upswing.

You DO realize that there were people on this earth prior to the Boomers. What about their birth rates?

I feel stupid after having read this ‘essay’

I’d hit it.

>>>You DO realize that there were people on this earth prior to the Boomers. What about their birth rates?<<<

Prior to the boomers is prior to the pill. Therefore, it’s not worth comparing to today’s generation of child bearing age women.

Healthy women in their 20s have an 88% chance of getting pregnant in any giving year assuming she’s married, having regular sex and not on contraception.

Man, there is so much insecurity and narcissism in that article. A great deal of time spent telling the reader how super-duper wonderful she is, and how horrible the male of the species is. Chica, you can have yourself...with abandon.

[BJ1]

In your opinion, she’s on the right side of the crazy hot matrix?

[Army Air Corps]

Well, she does have Crazy Eyes, so there is that.

She would tear you apart and feed you to your kitties.

Yea but she a TMG smile.

You're right, but that one night of sex would be worth it.

This is a manifesto of an OLD MAID.

It may be cool to be this way now, but REGRETS are heavy burdens.

The Old Maid bitterness is a short ride around the corner.

I’d hit it after seeing the clean lab report.

[TADSLOS]

Nibbles to kibbles. What a way to go...

[Lazamataz]

Aren't you being a little harsh?
