"How many young women do you know, happily married or the equivalent, who are wilfully refusing to have children now at the risk of running the gauntlet of IVF in five years time?"
I guess Molly Watson would be surprised to hear this answer ..... quite a few.
What a loving attitude. I'm sure she'd be a wonderful mother. (/retch)
(More of this stuff :-)
What's the "equivalent" of happily married? Married "in a state of tolerant resignation"?
If she thinks any form of unmarried relationship is "equivalent," she's on Planet Zongo.
"What can Dr Bewley and co. do to get them ready for fatherhood before their mid-forties?"
How about you try not to be such a needy biatch? You're already laying the ground work to whine about how your career has suffered and how you change more of the diapers. Yeah, sign me right up. NOT.
can you imagine spending a week with doc bewley? man oh man alive, even if this woman was playboy material, she would get tiresome after a couple of days, let alone every day as in marriage. lots of doc bewleys out there, good thing is many are not reproducing, thank god
In another 10-15 years she will sound just like Maureen Dowd does now -- bitter, resentful, self-pitying, blaming everyone but herself for where she is in life -- she will be absolutely pathetic.
LOL. Uh, no?
Women...are you willing to submit to your husband? If not, don't get married.
Men.....are you willing to give up your life for your marriage? If not, don't get married.
Must be the moon, but every thread today has me thinking...
"Seperate continents for each gender,
little bridge for visits...
Raise kids together,
kids grow up,
split, and THEN live a happy life!"
Geez,
And people wonder why I think God is sadistic ;)
Gosh, that's sad. Can those of us who actually get along with our spouse and can't imagine life without him or her have a continent for ourselves (and our numerous kids)?
Only if you'll do the laundry.
Yes,
but my bet is it would be an itty bitty continent...
Understand, the venom seems to come from both sides on these threads... I'm just amazed that the human race has made it this far! ;)
She didn't mention women being selfish, did she?
Over the past 100 years, men have gradually, but inexorably, given females total freedom and independence. Granting females political power and financial independence ultimately put them in control of marriage and family, the institutions of our civilization which governing the propogation and upbringing of the human species.
That has created a monumental catastrophe and unfathomable destruction. How do we men now get the toothpaste back in the tube?

My pal (and fellow belly-dancer) Najida is a bit of a cynic, but FR does that to all of us sometimes :-).
One theory I've developed recently is that the best way to find out what a potential spouse is really like would be to "meet" him or her on FR, like Petronski and Cyborg, or HairoftheDog and Ecurbh. People are very straightforward about what they actually think on all kinds of issues, not like in Real Life.
That nice woman at the office could be the bride of your dreams, or she could have clobbered her boyfriend with a shovel before breakfast and be planning to dispose of the remains after her shift. You'll probably never know ... but on FR, you'd know what she's really like!
