Today, two out of five business travelers are women. Last year, unmarried women accounted for 20 percent of home sales, nearly double the figure of 15 years ago. More to the point, single women feel no drive to marry, Time tells us. This reminds me of a parable my grandmother used to tell of a woman who wandered the world looking for the ideal man. When at last she found him, he was searching for the ideal woman.
Single women are sassy, spunky, livin' life and lovin' it.
To be sure, and the typical single man looks like he just stepped out of the pages of GQ, summers on Martha's Vineyard and races sports cars when he isn't dating super models. For the past 30 years, feminists in academia have instructed young women in the virtues of independence and folly of subjugation to men. Feminists in prime-time television filled their heads with visions of the solo good life. Whenever commentators mentioned Donna Reed, it was with a sneer. Feminists in the news media reported on how women were getting along without Him very well.
