  > Meanwhile other people chooses the opposite. You know, options. Yes, that’s exactly the point, that anyone should be able to choose without being judged. The first paragraph in the article: > No matter your accomplishments, marriage and children in our culture are considered the real achievements, and for those who remain on their own we reserve this silent decree: Something is dreadfully wrong with you. No matter how at peace you may be with being single, our society demands a reckoning for the never-marrieds. This is just a book review (from 2018, by the way), the author is not trying to impose any ideology. Quite the contrary, the end reveals their ambivalence: > For some, this book will read like an anthem to choosing the single, family-free life; for others, the story is clearly about ambivalence. To me, it’s about both.

    Exactly, we are continuously cycling around basic ideas that were created decades ago that most of the world consider correct and are written in our constitutions. My point is, why are we again and again and again reading about it? why? Let's progress with something new, something necessary. We have a lot of problems in this society to lose more time discussing/talking/blablabla about the obvious things.
