    Default Women graduates 'desperately' freeze eggs over 'lack of men'

    Professional women are freezing their eggs due to a "dearth of educated men to marry", a US study has claimed.

    http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-40504076


    Yale University researchers suggested an "oversupply" of graduate women left them struggling to find a partner and "desperate" to preserve fertility.

    They said the "man deficit" was worse in countries where more women were going to university, as in the UK.

    The researchers interviewed 150 women who had frozen eggs, of whom 90% said they could not find a suitable partner.

    Author Prof Marcia Inhorn said the research challenged perceptions that women put off having a baby so they could prioritise their job.

    "Extensive media coverage suggests that educational and career ambitions are the main determinants of professional women's fertility postponement, especially as they 'lean in' to their careers," she said.

    "Rather, they were desperately preserving their fertility beyond the natural end of their reproductive lives, because they were single without partners to marry."


    Speaking at the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology conference in Geneva, Switzerland, Prof Inhorn thought there were "not enough graduates for them".

    In the majority of cases the women, who were treated at eight IVF clinics in the US and Israel and interviewed between June 2014 to August 2016, said they could not find an educated man who was willing to commit to family life.

    "Women lamented the 'missing men' in their lives, viewing egg freezing as a way to buy time while on the continuing - online - search for a committed partner," Prof Inhorn said.

    Who cares about education, high culture, chit-chat and other bourgeouis bullshit?

    Everything women want is a big rod and a savage brute who will brutalize them in bed.

    My cousin,who is pushing 40 and still unmarried with no children, did that.
    I just think it's sad tbh. I don't think it's an issue(entirely) of there not being quality men, these women also haven't learned how to prioritize things. I would sooner not have children than bother with this nonsense.

    This is the inevitable result of feminism and an education system geared towards and largely run by women, that pumps out more female graduates than male. The education industry has become a massive welfare system for individuals and the businesses involved. Everyone is on the take, and they give back less than what they take. It's unsustainable, especially since the majority of tax revenue is still generated by men, who are less likely to be university-educated.

    Women want to "marry up", reserving their eggs for high status males. tertiary education is perceived as an indicator of status, although in reality its value is declining. Average men are not good enough. The trouble is, there aren't enough high status males to go round, so either they have to lower their standards (very painful for them and will probably end in divorce) or they become spinsters surrounded by cats.

    For the most part, these frozen eggs will never be used.

    Women under feminism are still clinging to the idea that they can have it all, despite the cracks that are forming in the utopian picture. They can't have it all, as these wasted frozen eggs will prove.
