Girls, They Just Wanna Have Fun

Is this how civilization ends, not with a bang, but with a Tinder?

All teenage girls want to do is glue on they nails, charge they phone, eat hot pot and Snap.

Just look at that graph. This is based on new Pew Research that just came out on What Women Want—and there’s no surprise here. Surprise: feminism works!

Yes, we know: 12th grade girls are a lot less interested than boys in getting married, which means feminism is working exactly as intended.

Population control brainwashing is easy: all you do is take over the education system and then wait 50 years.

But something ELSE is happening here. These girls are not just brainwashed NPCs getting their IUDs implanted just because.

This is more than the fumes of second-wave feminism—these girls aren’t studying Simone de Beauvoir or reading Betty Friedan. They are the third Sex and the City generation in a row, and there has been no major update to this American Female operating system in decades.

In fact, Sex and the City is having a renaissance right now among high school girls. Their grandmothers watched it, their mothers watched it, and now they are fans. It’s a great show, very entertaining! But life lessons it has not. The characters on SATC are in fact great examples of how not to be, choices not to make.

Rejecting a perfect mate in favor of a toxic and unavailable one, not having children in time, substituting relationship intimacy with shopping and brunch, and engaging in repeated infidelity with married men—this a classic female recipe for disaster.

But for the women in question, a chart like the one below is progress, not catastrophe. This means women—at least the ones liberated from the patriarchy—are living their best lives, finally!

Ladies: Carrie Bradshaw was a cautionary tale, not a fairy tale.

And yet.

What if . . . .

What if these young women are the canaries in the coal mine, desperately trying to tell us something urgent?
