Feminists Outraged Over New Book by ‘Princeton Mom’
Susan Patton, aka “The Princeton Mom” has finally released her book, Marry Smart, based on the controversial letter she published last year in The Daily Princetonian, which advised young women to focus on finding a husband while in college.
Liberal feminists hate the book. I mean, they just hate it.
Which makes me want to read it, actually.
Anyway, Patton generates so much wrath because she points out one of the big lies behind modern feminism. The lie is this: that to be successful and happy you need to focus on your career and not marriage or children throughout your twenties and early thirties. In other words, the lie is that you can delay, and delay, and delay and still have it all.
Susan Patton has news for you–the biological clock is not a fiction cooked up by the conspiratorial patriarchy. It’s a reality.
In fact, if you are a woman and haven’t started having children by the time you are 35–you are very unlikely to have a successful pregnancy without serious medical intervention–IVF, surrogate pregnancy, etc–and the risk of birth defects increases dramatically as a woman approaches 40.
Those facts often come as quite a surprise to talented, highly-educated women–the kind of women who go to Princeton. They’ve been led to believe that they won’t have to sacrifice anything in the way of their professional careers in order to also be a wife and a mother. Just Lean In a little harder and it can all be yours.
Well, there’s no law that says any young woman should have to want to be a wife or a mother. But if a young woman does want such things, especially, the mother thing, it does require sacrifice on the career front.
Not fair? Well, maybe not. But men aren’t born with wombs–so there you go. And men will never, on average, be as interested in or as willing to do the work of childcare. They just won’t.
Comments
When it comes to marriage, 2 individuals need to find EQUALS, which means that one whole person is looking for another whole person. Modern day “feminists” are looking for excuses not have a partnership, which is probably a good thing for them in that the men who would choose to be near them are going to be self-centered liberal males and they make lousy partners. Just ask Hillary. The men who would make wonderful partners would never be bothered being with a feminist since there is way too much baggage there. So feminists, enjoy your outrage. It’s all you’re going to have in the end.
Outraged over a book, but not a peep about how women are treated under Islam.
