You're right, she should have but she followed feminist advice to pursue career first. So she lost out on the marriage front. Men want to marry youth and looks and women want a successful husband. To maximize that, women would have to put finding husband first and career second but that's not what girls are taught.
I think Chinese women are more aware of the risks so if they pursue careers they know it's at the expense of marriage.
These women sound like my ex wife. She left me 10 years ago thinking she could find something better. Now she’s she’s a spinster, no husband, no children....no hope. But lots of haagen daz.
