LOL!!! Great post, Steven! You should have your own column. And it should run right next to Dowd's. Except it wouldn't be that way for long. She'd be gone pretty quickly. Excellent analysis of her errors. When has it ever been easy to find the right mate? Do these women think that because they go to Harvard they are entitled to have any mate they want? This reminds me of the bitch common among under-35s that they want a house and can't afford to buy and someone should DO SOMETHING! Usually the something consists of the gov't picking my pocket at gunpoint and giving the proceeds of the crime to them. The fact is that it has never been easy to get your real estate for most people. Our parents scrimped and saved and then made large house payments for decades to get a house. I did too. I had been working for almost 2o years before we bought our first house. But it should be given to these whiners.

Hi Steve, There's been a lot press here lately about the severe reduction in the ability to bear children after forty, with a focus on women who have put off even thinking about having children at that age. Apparently, it's been a combination of their belief that work comes first until that age, as well as their misunderstanding of the details of the cases which report women bearing children after forty (most of those women are not using their own eggs). Not only do I agree with you that Dowd's playing fast and lose with logic (I'm not too interested in where her head is -g) but I watched the interview you refer to here: On a "60 Minutes" report on the book Sunday, Lesley Stahl talked to two young women who go to Harvard Business School. They agreed that while they are the perfect age to start families, it was not so easy to find the right mates. The women clearly did not say they were intersted in having children at their current age (which looked to be in their mid twenties), but that meeting men who were not intimidated by the fact that they were in Harvard business school was hard to do. Two different things entirely.
