When it’s all said and done and you’re looking back in old age (when many doors have closed that can never be reopened), which do you think you’ll miss more, a family of children and grandchildren you never had or a career you gave up to create and raise that family?

[Jack Hammer]

Sorry, Susan, it’s very difficult and onerous to express a normal opinion in this extremely abnormal - not to say sick - world.

I was fed the feminist line. I never really wanted to learn to cook, take care of a house, I wanted children but somehow in my late teens fantasy life this would all be taken care of by my vast fortune working as a Professional “whatever”. After college, fortunately, biology kicked in and by 27 I was married with our first daughter on the way. I've always been conservative politically and I'm glad biology kicked in, and I was fortunate enough to be able to stay home with the kids. My dad was ecstatic because I put the same effort I put into school and work into learning how to cook and do “mom” things and he benefited from my year of making a different dish every night for a year (parents lived by, just as easy to cook
for 6 as for 4), I wanted to learn household maintenance, landscaping, you name it. As he got older he was glad I'd practice at their house to! Now in my early 40’s, I'm so glad I didn't wait and that my kids knew their grandparents, if only for a little while.

The American Left told these women that there are no consequences to decisions.

I don’t feel sorry for these withering feminists.

[MacMattico]

I have a friend in her 40’s that doesn't talk about it but I know is truly devastated by lack of her own family. We invite her to our get togethers and Christmas dinner, but she knows it's not the same. She will pass away with a small fortune in the bank, even if she lives to be 100. But it won't have been worth it. She was shocked when I said I was going to stay at home with my two little ones. Now, to be perfectly honest, she's jealous. Just reporting my story, not judging anyone elses.

The article suggests that every woman who rejects family for a fantastic career, always ends up with the fantastic career. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most end up simply lonely, with no wealth to speak of, no kids and no future. They rode the feminist wave, some being insufferable bitches at work the whole time, which killed thier chances for leadership roles (because they didn’t have any leadership skills to begin with), only to become increasingly bitter and old.

I beleive the word is Spinster.

They probably would have laughed at Patton in their 20s, as I would have, but today they often feel alone more than successful and stand at a biological crossroads shattering their sense of self.

They made their beds. Now they come home to the sounds of silence and sleep next to their careers. Finally they will die alone, forgotten, and un-mourned.

Anyone truly as intelligent as these women believe themselves to be would have understood this before completing high school.

But the Feminist Kool-Aid tasted so sweet!

[Lancey Howard]

...approaching 40 or over the mark, and want to marry and have children as much or more than the lucrative careers they worked so hard to achieve.

They probably would have laughed at Patton in their 20s, as I would have, but today they often feel alone more than successful and stand at a biological crossroads shattering their sense of self.

As Aesop said, “misery loves company”.

[Nachoman]

My story is a tale of two daughters, 19 months apart in age. The oldest is an academic all-star, just completing her second year of a 4-year Pharm-D graduate program.

The youngest daughter paused her undergraduate degree to get married to an active-duty NCO and just recently had a baby. She expects to finish her degree in a year and start teaching Special Ed.

The oldest daughter will most likely enjoy more money and creature comforts, but the youngest will be well on her way building and raising her family.

I’ll be interested to see who seems to be happiest with their life choices.

[SIDENET]

I know some gals who swallowed all of the feminist crap back in their younger days. They were hellish bitches to all of those around them, and thought they could have their cake and eat it, too.

Now, they're aging, fat, and alone. Nobody wants them. Sound harsh? Good. It should. It's the truth.

They're bitter and pissed off, and they seem to collect either cats or small dogs to make up for unrealized motherhood.

I don't feel sorry for these losers AT ALL.

HA HA.

[Hoosier-Daddy]

150 years of social engineering idealism will not trump 40,000 years of reality. Thank goodness

[Obadiah]

The way I see it many of these women bought this feminist crap hook, line, and sinker. Many of them were married and got divorced to live the feminist “freedom” dream. Many never married so they could live the feminist dream of being the career “power woman”.

Most of the women are now middle-aged, fat-bottomed, and bitter. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, it is these women who consistently vote for Democrats who have pledged to be their “husband” and take care of them.

Feminism was always nothing more than the beautiful apple in the garden of Eden, bright and shiny and delicious in the mouth, but sickeningly bitter in the stomach.

Also rational and correct

Highly educated spinsters are actually societal offal

[Eepsy]

On the other side of the coin, it’s sad that we have lost the tradition of the Celibate Laywoman. There is no respect anymore for the woman who decides against having a family because it is assumed she’s doing it for the prestige or the money or the sexual freedom. We need to teach our daughters that, if they truly do not wish to marry, they it does not inevitably require wallowing in the excesses of this world.
