It's rather long, but I'd like my fellow MRAs' thoughts on this opinion piece.

This. She's piggybacking on the growing sentiment laid out in Marry Him! as older women realize they were sold a lie, aka large doses of feminism poisoning the well. For 40 years women have been told they need to be careerists, that being a homemaker was oppressive or lacking in vision. Stuff like that. By the time women like the article's author decide they want to settle down and have a family they realize their best options are long gone and it only gets worse as they age. At 35 women have about a 35% chance of getting pregnant. At 45 it drops off to ~5%. 18-24 is the best years for women to have a baby, but feminists have basically programmed women to think doing so at that age is wrong, that they should chase a degree & career first. Biologically and sociologically (from an attraction standpoint) this is the perfect time for women to settle down. This pretty much sums up how I feel on the matter:
