So, It's not just black women then?
If you caught my post on Friday, you know I've got love and marriage on my mind, so I read with interest Kate Bolick's tale of not marriage in The Atlantic. Now, the piece has its problems.

I appreciated Bolick's article for not presenting unmarried women as somehow broken. She even considers that singleness can be *gasp* a choice for women.
