right form of commitment through which to structure their relationships, but to me? That article is vile. Not only does the article imply that marriage and children are the secret desires and source of ultimate fulfillment for all women, it doesn't even (from what I read) acknowledge the women and men who not only live happily without ever being--or wanting to be--married, but do so because they consider marriage unnecessary, oppressive and inherently misogynist. Which is almost worse than simply promoting that godawful "women just want to be wives and mommies" bullshit again, in my eyes.
