There is a price

"Women are marrying later[...]And like Harvey, their second and third marriages are occurring from a place of greater social stability and financial prosperity."

It isn't all about greater social stability and financial prosperity...maybe it is at the tippy top, but I have seen too many miscarriages and infertility in these later marriages...and they weren't always late because of overt feminist tendencies.

Our communal problem isn't really sexual inequalities. Our problem is diminishing numbers. And that isn't from older people marrying younger people, but younger people not marrying at all until at or near middle-age, or marrying "out."

And maybe that's why outside of professional Jewish feminist circles, no one really gives a fuck. We have bigger problems.
