The majority of women, single or married, work or obtain income in some way. Point me in the direction of how many men are able to completely financially support one woman, much less multiple with children. Most men have dreams and visions of "family businesses" and such, but very few times does this realistically happen profitably. Wouldn't it make more sense for women to put a career first right out of high school, even if they wanted a family? It's highly likely they will be employed the rest of their lives in some manner. An associate's degree only takes about 2 years of schooling, having one statistically means making more money than women without. A bachelor's degree can be obtained in 5 years and brings home about $40,000 more than women without. These women would be educated, have the ability to make money, and still only be in their lower 20s at the time of completion. Plenty of time for marriage and children. Except now instead of making minimum wage doing a job they hate while away from their children and families, they'd be able to work fewer hours for more pay with a career they've chosen. Essentially putting her career first is putting her family first.
Also, one of the "perks" often suggested to single women is that "they can have it all with plural marriage." Right??? They can have the husband, the children, and they can have the career. When did that narrative all of a sudden change? Do I need to search the forums and screenshot every time this is mentioned as a benefit. "Plural marriage is great for women because while you're at work, you can leave your children with a sister wife."
