The answer is a resounding "YES!" Nearly everysingle woman I know
well (all in their mid to late thirties) is struggling with whether
to put family or career first.  I have to report that careers are
winning, by at least two to one (about ten women in the sample).
Those that have chosen to start a family are trying to have a career
at the same time. Not a single one has decided to stay home. To keep
the foam-at-the-mouth feminists happy, none of the men in these
relationships has offered to stay home, either (something I would be
willing to do, were I in that situation.

Fact is, it is hard to meet women who even want a family. They all
want a career. Nothing wrong with that, except I tend to agree with
Glen. Boy, are these ladies going to be an unhappy bunch in about
twenty years. (Now I am going to get flamed). Some of my best women
friends categorically refuse even to "date", or whatever we call it
these days, preferring to concentrate on their career instead.
