She made her point just fine. She's going through what most women will face in the future or have already faced, trying to resolve the conflict between what western society is teaching women and what their true nature tells them.
I feel bad for women, and this isn't a comment for this particular woman, who buy into the Boss Babe mentality and career first mentality instead of pursuing a family. While 27 isn't all that old to finally "get it", she's still on her back foot since she hasn't even started dating at all. To say nothing of finding a guy, taking the time to actually know him to ensure he's solid and then starting a family.
I'm not saying it can't be done, but ideally women should start giving birth in their 20's, not 30's as it looks like this gal is facing.
It's well past time that women stop ignoring that their bodies actually do have a clock when it comes to kids and start acknowledging that feminism is selling them a bill of goods that doesn't dovetail with what they'll actually want in the future, for most of them anyway.
Agree with how you started out but you lost me at women need to give birth in their 20s. Life is long nowadays. We aren’t slipping down the other side in our 40s and 50s. There is much to see, much to know, much to do. And raising a family is not for those who are still trying to figure o themselves out, who they are, what they want, what the world has to offer, and how they fit into it. For most of the folks I know, 20s was about education, personal growth, learning and practicing the fine art of being a responsible adult. We all got married in our early 30s and had kids soon after, mid-30s, and beyond. I actually had four kids between 38 and 44 which allowed me to have a full career and the family (gave up that career to stay at home). Absolutely no regrets. I feel like I had the best of both worlds. Trying to do it the other way around would not have yielded the same results
Glad that worked out for you my story is the same. But there are pros and cons to both. I think we forged the way for it not to matter if you have a kid at 25 or even younger. It is not the career killer it once was if that's your thing. I will say for me, I wish I had stayed home. The chaos of two people working in high stress jobs has made our home life more stressful than it had to be. And I don't really think we are financially better off for it TBH.
My secretary/assistant at one job had her kids right out of high school. On her fortieth she and her husband were going on a cruise. I asked, "Are the kids going?" She said, no, so I said, "whose watching them?" She said, "well they are 22 and 20 so hopefully they can take care of themselves." We no longer work together but it looks like she's spent the last 20 years living it up and traveling with her High School Sweetheart while they are both still able bodied. And she's been working at a company with great benefits for over 25 years now, so I suspect she's in pretty good financial shape too.

It's all good.
