I really have a problem with that "adulthood" article. A lot of it seemed wrapped up in nostalgia for a time before second wave feminism, but that's not all of it. I don't think it's really a problem to not be married if you haven't found the right person, even if it means you're 'too old' to be unmarried. And why is it wrong that having children should be seen as a choice? Should people be having kids because they're feeling pressured by society to do so and then later taking out their resentments on the kids?
I'm an adult. I work full-time, pay my taxes, and take responsibility for myself and my actions. I'm also unmarried with no children. Those aren't strikes against me, and they're not evidence that I've failed at anything, and I resent this article for implying that.
Oh and notice how the article makes a big deal about more women going to college. Because clearly, that means the end times are coming. *eyeroll*
