This article from 2002 describes the way things were in the 1990s. It is much worse now. Women: Just focus on getting married. Forget about the rest. The article ends, naturally, with a long list of demands that will supposedly make it possible to combine motherhood with a demanding career. Rather than understanding the implicationsContinue reading “Executive Women and the Myth of Having It All”

Maybe less than 50% of women born in the 1990s will marry.
Here’s a Twitter thread (yes I know….) with a ton of interesting information. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1557880297244459010.html
The Garbage Generation, and the Case for Father Custody, by Daniel Amneus
Two pertinent books by Daniel Amneus, available in free pdf download: Take a stand with the family. Only men and women who want to take part in the continuation of civilization need apply.
Young Mom Wears a Dress Every Day For a Month
In Evie Magazine, Alicia Bittle, married for seven years and a mother, wrote about what happened when she wore a dress every day for a month. What started out as a little experiment with a few dresses and a handful of days, has completely transformed my approach to marriage, motherhood, and femininity. What started outContinue reading “Young Mom Wears a Dress Every Day For a Month”
Living Arrangements, 1970-2022
Women: Get married young. Age 18-20 is about right. Have a lot of children.
Why I Now Drive New Cars
For a long time, I drove cheap old cars. Old, anyway. I thought they were cheap, but they weren’t. I drove two cars over 200,000 miles, in snow country which rusts them out. The New Car/Old Car question rests largely on Depreciation vs. Maintenance and Repair Costs. And, these are not much different. Let meContinue reading “Why I Now Drive New Cars”
Ballet Moms
Of all the forms of exercise that a woman can choose from — and she should choose at least one — dance, and specifically ballet, is near the top. From dance, a woman learns poise, grace and beauty, which does not happen to women to do Crossfit, or play ice hockey. Mary Helen Bowers hasContinue reading “Ballet Moms”
The Transformed Wife
Lori Alexander, the “Transformed Wife,” today reaches a rare pinnacle of feminine virtue. This has not earned her many friends. I was expecting to find some fault or disagreement, over time, with her somewhat churchy, Bible-inspired approach, but that has not happened. Rather, I find that I am a quiet ally with her, against mostContinue reading “The Transformed Wife”
eGirls
Unfortunately, there seems to be a population now of “eGirls” age 18-24 or so, who do all the Wifey stuff, but do not seem to actually want to become wives. The exchange seems to go something like this: “I don’t want to work at some email job. I want to get married, have children, andContinue reading “eGirls”
Breastfeeding Failure
Helen Roy writes that 75% of women in the US try to breastfeed, but give it up somewhere along the line. This is a little weird. All the other mammals breastfeed, and they do not “fail.” Today, at six months of age, only 13% of babies are exclusively breastfed. My wife breastfed our son exclusively.Continue reading “Breastfeeding Failure”
