'Leftover generation' of career women are freezing their eggs 'because they can't find similarly successful men'

Read the comments. As usual, there are loads of people calling out the situation: the career women are selfish, they have made the wrong choices, the system has been skewed to discriminate in their favour, their demands are too high as are their opinions of themselves etc.

Now all of these commenters are potential MRAs. There is a huge pool of them ready to actively support change and that is why I am confident that there will be big changes in our favour as feminism crashes into a disaster of its own making.

PS The one point commenters have missed is that NOW actively opposed teaching women about how fertility declines with age. Anyone want to go there and make the point?

"Similarly successful", yeah right

Women tell us frequently that they are freezing their eggs because the men they meet feel threatened by their success and so are unwilling to commit to starting a family together.

Why do people believe this bullshit? I have yet to see any data to support this. These women are actually the most likely to be married.

EDIT: This other article I found is actually kind of hilarious. Noone even considers the possibility that the "smart woman" was actually obnoxious.

‘Women tell us frequently that they are freezing their eggs because the men they meet feel threatened by their success and so are unwilling to commit to starting a family together.’

Yeah, I bet they say men feel threatened by their success. I seriously doubt that's true though.

Professor Simon Fishel, founder of Care Fertility, said: ‘Anthropologically we are always searching, consciously or unconsciously, for like-minded people so it is not a great leap to understand that women are looking for someone on the same level, who is university-educated or a professional.

How does 'university-educated or a professional' equate to 'like-minded'? I couldn't care less how educated a woman is, so long as she's a) a nice person, b) reasonably attractive, and c) pleasant company. Hell, I used to go out with a Brazilian woman who was working in a fish 'n' chip shop, but I actually respected the fact that she was willing to do a low status job to get by, while she travelled. Face facts: it's almost exclusively women who want a high status, well-paid male for a partner, and the research shows that does not change even when they are high earners themselves. Now I don't begrudge them that particularly, they can't help their biological make-up, but don't try to tell me that focus is common to women and men, because it's simply not.

From the comments:

Women all long for a man who is kind, generous, rich, good looking and vivacious, but we all have boyfriends.

I don't really get that. Does he mean such men are mostly gay?

A real gem:

"Ms. TexasUSA, Houston, United States, 6 hours ago res judicata, MayMarch - I agree 100%. I make a great living, and want to find a man to meet me emotionally and professionally where I'm at. If I compromise, it'll make my life more stressful and unhappy. Which would make me a terrible parent. I'd rather raise my children surrounded by a team that will help and lift me up vs. settle for a husband that will drain me. It's as if men haven't evolved enough to partner with today's woman."

=> tl;dr: Men haven't evolved enough! ;)

Simplest way to close the wage gap is to get career women to marry and support less ambitious men.

And its a done deal.

The system doesn't profit from that. It wants mens productivity and an extra 20% from women.

Its also happy for us not to be reproducing much, because it wants to replace us with more desperate and cheaper workers.

A womans career success is most often only a tiny factor in whether a man is attracted to her. Women are expecting men to value them by the same criteria they evaluate men (money and status) and are slowly realizing that the shrinking pool of quality men are either already taken, or have little interest in dating a 5 just because she got an MBA

I don't get how freezing eggs will do too much, its really putting off the situation and hoping the man-drought ends.

I always and automatically replace "eligible" with "gullible".

Makes it more accurate, and entertaining, for me.

Best comment on this I've seen from u/grasshopa! :) Discussion about it here.

Seriously, I would never freeze my eggs.
