our life choices

About two hundred words

Let’s take look at how gender can affect some of our life choices whether we realize it or not.

In an open letter to the Princeton school newspaper, Princeton alumna Susan Patton advises women that they need to begin looking for a husband at Princeton during freshman year because women, while aspiring to other life goals, basically need to get married to be happy.

Go to Course Documents, and read the article “Advice for the Young Women of Princeton: the Daughters I Never Had,” and post your thoughts to this question: assuming heterosexual marriage is the goal, is Patton right?   Do women run out of marriageable men faster than men run out of marriageable women?  Why or why not?
