Now, there are three things to be mentioned here. There are other voices that provide explanation about the "death of marriage" -and it ain't those blasted men who refuse to grow up and cheat with everyone with a vagina. Or simply ignores the fact that women seem to have unrealistic expectations. All of which is patently false, or ignores the current reality of how the "new" society (patterns in education, economics, etc.) -and feminism itself- disenfranchised men, and made marriage less than attractive. This is the very definition of Grievance Studies at work -it is men who cheat, it is men who refuse to settle down, it is men who are ageist and refuse to date higher status/earning women. And also not correcting for the fact that egg freezing is something that is only a serious reality for about 1% of the population. So it is very striking to base your methodology on accepting anything your subjects say on face value. For some reason people tend to rationalize why they are not to blame. I am fairly certain if you ask incels why they can't get a partner you will get a similar list, but obviously those basement-dwelling jerks would be wrong. Heck, even the Guardian (which was very enthusiastic about writing about this issue highlighted in the book) wrote about it. The first point is patently false -there are lots and lots of studies showing the opposite, as in women are reluctant to engage with men under their own status while the opposite is not true. Men who exhibit bad behavior, including infidelity and ageism, which often leads to relationship instability and rupture.Men who are unready for marriage and children, often leading to relationship demise.Men who are reluctant to partner with high-achieving women, leaving these women single for many years.As the author says, she gathered egg freezing stories from 150 American women and analyzed them.Īnd obviously the results are (drum roll): A historian wants to understand the reasons of the collapse of the Third Reich, so what does he (or she) do? Read all the interviews, speeches, memoirs about what Hitler thought the reasons were, and then writes a book that "the Jews were behind it". Now before we go further I want you to imagine the following scenario (and I know it is going to be a controversial and strenuous analogy, but bear with me). The author is a professor of anthropology at Yale, after all, so she must know. (There are so many gaps now - there is an opportunity for a dirty joke here for sure.) As an upcoming book states, there is a lack of eligible men for these women to have babies with.
