A woman can be single and happy, but society would have us think otherwise

If you, like me, spend (too much) time on social media streets, there are a few patterns that become all too familiar. Like if a woman declares she is single by choice, and happy with her choice, there will be people giving her a thesis paper on why that is impossible. If she is young, she will be told to shut up until she matures. If she is old, she will be called angry and bitter.

There is no winning. The good thing though is that enough women who have chosen that path have developed selective deafness, and they continue doing their thing. In a discussion on the institution of marriage, we predicted that the millennials will be the generation that annihilates it.
