The author accepts Ms. Hymnowitz's claims about the American "child-man" without asking if there are other reasons why men might be avoiding marriage other than immaturity.
The author concludes:
But Hymowitz isn’t saying women shouldn’t work. Instead, she provides a book full of evidence to suggest tactfully that to embrace womanhood more fully, young women should embrace its blessings together with its limitations.
So, in a way, Kelly Ripa hit the issue on the head. No doubt she’s one of the most successful working women today. But she didn’t reach professional success at the expense of forgetting a fundamental part of womanhood: “We give birth.”
The author is associated with the Catholic Information Center -- is she also associated with Opus Dei then? She goes beyond a tolerance of wage slavery because of contemporary exigencies to an advocacy of careerism. Isn't this just a Catholic version of "You can have it all"?
