"Women are roundly considered to be in biologically ideal form for baby-making in their twenties and early thirties, which are also prime fun-having and career-building years. For women who want all of the things promised by (theoretically) equal education, work and sex lives, the conflict of desires can be catastrophic"
It's very true. I feel it everyday. Alot of the women around me are getting married and buying homes and planning for kids or already have a few, and I wanna travel, ride my bike, have fun,do my masters/phd but the clock is ticking and I have to pay off student loans and i'm bonded to my current job for the next three years and my bf lives in NYC, halfway across the world, and wants to do his masters too and is in no particular hurry to get married yadda yadda and yes. it is very stressful to be my age in todays world. I'm turning 25 in September. happy quarterlife crisis to me.
Oh by the way, my bf had forwarded that article to me a few weeks ago. I think he's feeling it too. (except he has no student loans to repay and his job pays 3 times more than mine. should i be jealous? i admit i am. kinda)
