There is less of a stigma now than there used to be on women who don't marry. Not everywhere, but overall. I think many women are taking advantage of that. That doesn't mean there's something wrong with us, and being single doesn't mean no one's ever asked. We just have more options.

Sexual identity issues are more open now, and that's changed things for a lot of women too. I had a great aunt who married "to keep herself" she told me "from being lesbian." Those nightmares, we can hope, are mostly over. Ought to all be.
