Using the example of woke liberal feminist billionaire Taylor Swift as an icon, it seems the idea of a childless cat woman is catching on as the new woke ideal. Below is a link to article at Fastcompany.com, a seemingly mainstream liberal publication, which discusses a survey from Pew Research, which examined women in the US who remained childless, with over 2,500 adults over the age of 50 who don't have children, and 770 adults between the ages of 18 and 49. The results:
"Overall, younger adults are more likely to skip having children because they wanted to channel their energy into other pursuits or simply can't afford it. Around 44% of younger adults said they didn't have children because they wanted to focus on other things compared to 21% of older adults, and 36% of younger adults said they couldn't afford to raise a child, compared to 12% of older adults.
The impact: Both groups agreed that they have more time and resources to funnel into work, hobbies, and socializing. Younger respondents (61% versus 44%) were more likely to say this helped them be successful in their careers. While 45% in the younger group and 35% older group said they had more time to network, overall a third said they were also given more responsibilities and less flexibility compared to parents.
The gender gap: For older adults, 50% of women said being childless made it easier to be successful in their careers compared to 39% of men. In addition, 42% of women 50 or older said they felt pressure to have children compared to 27% of men. Younger women (41%) are more likely than younger men (26%) to say that discussing whether or not to have children comes up in conversation with friends."
The conclusion of the article is: "For women in particular, given how entrenched sexism is, being a childless cat lady might be the best road forward for excelling at one's career." The subtext here is that a "brilliant career" is preferable to motherhood and children. Only thing is, there are few "brilliant careers," as like with men, modern work is often meaningless and the unproductive banging of keyboards, full of sound and fury, but going nowhere. And soon to be replaced by AI anyway.
These feminist myths, which are now the norm, should be considered by anyone wondering why the West and other advanced industrial nations have a birth dearth problem. It is the endgame of women's lib, and if not terminated will be the white ants of the foundations of the West.
