Every woman I know personally in my peer group (I'm GenX), is either divorced or never married.

I'm the only one who is currently married, and we have no children.

I love my husband and have no plans for divorce, but he is a lot of work.

I think that women are discovering that men are often not needed or even a hindrance to living one's best life.

Between the domestic violence, substance abuse, and chronic immaturity of SO MANY MEN, women are saying, "Thanks but no thanks."
