Why are increasing numbers of women choosing to be single?
The word ‘spinster’ is still freighted with pity and misogyny, yet the number of women living this way is growing. Emma John says it’s time to reconsider what it means to be ‘never-married’
You don't have to read it, but basically she claims in the title to choosing singlehood, yet at the same time claims she is bitter and lonely and envious of married women
But there I go, living down to the spinster stereotype of envy and bitterness. How is it possible that, despite being raised by a feminist mother and enjoying a life rich with friendships and meaningful employment, I still feel the stigma of that word? Or fear that, even in middle age, I haven’t achieved the status of a true adult woman?
Tfu on "empowered" roasties!!
