Careerism Destroys Civilizations!

Found this interesting article from the Korea Times.

See, although Asia is slowly becoming more Woman Firster, you can still find truthful, feminist unfriendly reporting every now and again:

Higher Education Hinders Women From Marriage

The more education women have, the less likely they are to marry, according to an analysis report by the Korea Development Institute (KDI) Monday.

The institute also noted that if women receive bigger paychecks they opt to not walk down the aisle, choosing to develop their careers rather than embarking on life-long matrimony.

With an increasing number of women working in the business front, the marriage rates for women with more than a college education have been steadily declining since 1997. Its survey showed only 37 percent of women under 27 tied the knot in 2005, down from 83 percent 10 years ago.

``Besides improved working conditions and benefits for women, rising private education and cost of living are making women shun marriages,'' it said.

The KDI noted that when women invest more time in academic studies, their probability of getting married drops by 5 to 8 percent. This goes the same for wages. When women see their earnings grow, the marriage probability shrinks by as much as 53 percent.

The institute forecast that such a trend is likely to continue, leading to an increasing drop in the country's birth rate...

Once again, we find that feminism has economic and social consequences that can't be ignored.

Don't get me wrong though. I'm not against women being educated, but I am against women being brainwashed by feminists and society at large to place career over everything else in life.

My wife, for example, is highly educated. She took Calculus and advanced mathematics when she was in High School, something that most American students don't tackle until College. On top of that, she went to one of the best universities in Japan, and she learned English well enough to study abroad and get with yours truly...

But I digress.

The point is that I want and need an intelligent woman that not only can hold a conversation with me, but can instruct our children and help them with their education.

What I don't want is some overbearing American style Career Chick who wakes up at 35 only to realize that her Baby Rabies are in full effect, or who views her husband and children as mere accessories that compliment some feminist wet dream.

And that is why Men the world over shouldn't marry a Hardcore Ball Breaking Career Woman.

Education, family, and common sense are NOT mutually exclusive.

Balance is the key. And our society is going to learn what the Golden Mean is... the hard way.

Peace.
