Reply #36: When I went to school years ago, girls weren't tripping over themselves trying to get pregnant

[Sarah Ibarruri]

Seems like now it's the new fashion for keeping a guy. Get pregnant, then the guy you like will be forever attached to your life. Nary a thought of how that baby enslaves the female (not the male) for life in a society that is increasingly more complex, more isolated and isolationist, and more difficult to maneuver.

It's, as someone here posted, the American 'Baby Mama' syndrome, and it's not limited to one American subculture or another, but it does seem to be less of a trend for girls to get themselves pregnant among the wealthy. I haven't yet figured out why the daughters of the wealthy are less likely to go get themselves pregnant. I'm sure there must be a reason. Maybe they don't feel they *need* to get pregnant to keep a man or something. I don't know.

In any case, it's definitely a trend here in the U.S.
