Someone shared this article on my Facebook, I am aghast, I can't believe any young woman who calls herself a feminist would think this way about other women.

thoughtcatalog.com/anne-gus/2014/05/if-youre-a-30-something-woman-your-life-is-over-and-i-hate-you/

What are your thoughts on this?

Are you sure it's not badly-written sarcasm?

That is so boring, and like, so full of teenage slang, I just can't read far enough in to it to reach the point where I become offended.

Read the comments at the bottom...Anne Gus is a man (Angus)
It's not meant to be realistic!

Ann Gus appears to be a man. Imagine my surprise . Pitting woman against woman.

And the accompanying picture Grin

Yes people a decade older than you may well have a different view. But rantily writing off a whole cohort because one person was tactlessly rude at a party says more about the author than the subject.

Its an attempt at satire. If you think this is bad, then I suggest you NEVER go to the Return of Kings site or read any of the comments on the Private Man posts. Because they really mean what they write.

for example, this is a real comment. This is what this man really thinks.

I am older than they are but don’t really understand the point of establishing a relationship with a woman who is unable to give you children. They’ve expired and their value to men is pretty much nil, except for short term stress relief.

I find that much more disturbing than some ham fisted satire.

It's written by a man. I doubt he's a feminist.
