Ask Dr. Helen: Do Husbands Owe Wives Post-Childbirth ‘Push Presents?’
It’s another example of the ‘me’ attitude of a lot of American women. A lot of women can only perceive the world in terms of ‘me’. So, while the education rates and earning power of women in the US are rising, marriage rates for educated women are falling. All the while the marriage rates of men have remained steady. How can that be? More and more men in the US are marrying foreigners, according to the US census.
Instead of celebrating a new life, which is the ultimate ‘present’, American women have found a way to turn it into a situation where it’s about them. Even on a day when their child is brought into the world, they can’t stop perceiving the world in relation to themselves.
