Of women, feminism, and hidden biological clocks

I've been thinking about this for a while, and it seems once...maybe twice a week I meet yet another woman who confirms it. I am tired of women, single or otherwise, hiding their loneliness behind 'independence', 'feminism' and 'pursuing their career'. Put a sock in it ladies!

Maybe I am missing something here. Is there anything wrong with a 30-something year old woman being single and admitting that she is lonely? It seems all the women I know in that scenario come up with (sometimes plain ridiculous) reasons why they are where they are and why they are perfectly happy....even though someone with one astigmatic eye can tell they are desperately hoping for Prince Charming to show up...like yesterday. I mean seriously, I think the thicker the blanket of fakeness we hide behind and the more often we recite those lies...the more nights we'll spend crying and sighing.

I was talking to a lady at work today...she is a little over 30, still trying to establish a career... But she is a sterotypical home-maker... Follows all the Macy's and HomeGoods sale, matches her sheets to her kitchen towels etc. I can almost hear her body and heart screaming for a companion...kids...a home to take care of and decorate. However, Prince Charming apparently missed a turn or something and she decided to go back to school. So instead of admitting that she's waiting for him, she insists she doesnt want to marry, and isnt looking!!? Nxa mhan, so frustrating ladies.

Stop the bra burning, be true to yourself (and the rest of us), love your life, love where you're at. Dont be ashamed to admit what you need, dream it, go get it, dont wait for it to find you...and stop hiding your emotions!!

Yah sis,
