As I stated, the majority of women want this "on one level or another". It may or may not be their ultimate or only goal but it is quite obviously a goal shared by a few billion women worldwide. Please tell me it's not become so PC that one cannot state such a blindlingly obvious fact without getting grief for it.
Wonderful women who have married and had kids: my mother, presumably your mother, my wife, my ex-wife, my mother-in-law, my favourite aunt, both my grandmothers, a fair number of friends, etc.
Some of them had or have careers (like Mrs. Highthief 2.0), some are stay at home Moms (Mrs. Highthief 1.0), some have adopted lives in between. Whatever any of them choose, I try not to belittle their choices. I suppose it is your right to do so to your exes, but you know, if you do it in a public fashion, expect to find a few people who think it is your behaviour which is questionable as opposed to theirs.
Tirrah!

I don't think we have to worry about the world population dropping, it's already overpopulated as it is. Men have created this idea that women are meant to stay at home and raise families and a lot of women give into it. It's holding women back from their potentials and what they really want to do. It's a self fulfilling prophecy.
They may be wonderful women for raising their families, but I'm sure if you asked them if they could have opportunity to chase their passions but can't due to "duties", 100% would say they would do it. You're ignoring the fact that my exes are dating loser druggies. You really think they'll get far being with them eventually starting a family? Doubtful.

but, back to your OP, what are you doing that makes you so much "better" than them? Raise that first million? Cure cancer?

I'm having fun, doing what I want to do, bettering myself, chasing my dreams. I'm not settling because society says I should. Women shouldn't have to either.
