Whenever women write about how marriage is a better deal for men than for them, men want to argue that we’re wrong. Marriage is bad for men, then say and then they back up their arguments by talking about … divorce. Dudes, there's no such thing as alimony and child support within a marriage, OK???

There's a reason why women initiate divorce so much more than men —it's historically been crappy for women. Yet the media (and, gulp, I'm a member!) keeps promoting it —well, for young women; single women my age are told we'll never marry again let alone find love. What they don't realize is that single women my age don't want to marry or even live with a romantic partner. We're just not interested in giving up our freedom and independence.

Keep preaching the singles gospel!
