One of my favorite female right-wing bloggers, Cassy Fiano, educates upset liberal feminists on marriage at young age:

Feminists do love to ignore those uncomfortable truths, don’t they? It’s so easy to brush things like this off as anti-feminist. But it doesn’t make it untrue. Like it or not, women do tend to mature earlier than men, and their fertility does decrease with age. Men, on the other hand, do mature more as they get older and age has little to no effect on their fertility. Does this FACT make science sexist now, too?

Now, no one is saying that women should be forced into marriage if they don’t want to be married. What the author is saying, though, is that it might be wise for women to think hard about the choices they are making and the effect it will have on them in the long-term. A woman who knows she wants to have a big family one day, for example, would be wise to not put off marriage and child-bearing until she is in her thirties in favor of sleeping around or bar-hopping or career-building. Regardless of how feminists like Jessica love to pretend the world is, reality is often quite different. And the reality is, in life, you sometimes have to make trade-offs.

And really, by pretending that women can’t deal with making such decisions, isn’t that in and of itself sexist? Personally, I think Jessica’s outrage has more to do with the fact that feminism these days is more concerned with shunning anything resembling traditional values than actual sexism present in the article.

I think the whole gender debate is confusing because both camps pretend to speak for a nation as a whole. I'm a cultural conservative, but I'm not against gay marriage or women climbing to high career positions in society. I believe in diversity, but I also believe each group has the right to defend its own values. I want my future children growing up in a traditional, culturally Swedish, heterosexually-oriented environment, without having to worry about cosmopolitan homosexuals making out on your doorstep, or drug lords supplying teens with pot. Cosmopolitans and drug users have a place in society, too, but not in my community.

If we apply this theory to gender, that means women who want to form families early in life should be able to do so. Women who want to pursue career should also be able to do that. Hell, if you're a woman, low on estrogen, and place higher priority on work than on children's health and well-being, you shouldn't even worry about getting a family in the first place.

To leftists, who want all of us to be uniform, anything other than universal rules for all people is discrimination. To most conservatives, it's unthinkable mostly for dogmatic reasons (e.g. "but we are right, after all"). To me, it's the only realistic solution to racial, cultural, social and religious conflicts. Agree to disagree, split up, and move on.
