How's that for misgynistic? Are these really my views?

Oh the drama.

Well, I have a genetic disorder and probably can't have children. So...it's not really a choice for me.

There's power in words, whether you actually mean it or not. I might be a bit of a sociopath...

The fact of the matter is marriage is declining and women are starting to out earn men. Marriage is an outdated institution and the sooner it goes away, the better. Then we will have laws that reflect the realities of relationships instead of this ridiculous notion that the nuclear family is the be all and end all of society. America is way behind with this particular subject. European and Scandinavian countries are far more equitable and have better family-friendly policies entrenched in their laws.

Regardless if its a choice for me or a condition for you, we are way past women being prized only for their birthing abilities. We are actually capable of achieving other things.

It might not be reflected online, but it is the truth. With the exception of some, most people deep down know this. Skin tightening and wrinkles just don't benefit women much. It can make many of them look old. whereas men seem distinguished and manly. Men are supposed to have some hard/ manliness to them. This is why in the long run when they age, they age better. If the aging process made a person more soft/ feminine, then I would say women benefit more from aging and it would most likely be guys who want to marry sooner.

Not marrying runs in my family. I have 5 aunts who are in their 50's-never married-no kids. I guess its more common in my world.
