Most women in America aren't even thinking about getting married and having kids until their 30s. Like, I have personally known many women in their 20s who think that they're never going to want to be married or to have children. That just seems so far away into their future and that they have plenty of time anyway. Right. And that's difficult because why go to college? Why build a career? Why devote most of your adult life to a professional direction, only to then surrender it when it starts to pick off. Yeah. So that's gonna be a tough sell for a lot of women. Like, that doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Sunk cost bias. Sure, but like, I wouldn't want to spend 10 years preparing for a game that I never got to play. Same here.
