The media I read has been awash lately in articles that, in various ways, demonstrate the failure of feminism.

At one end, older women are lamenting that their lives, influenced by feminist thought, have led to singleness and childlessness, and they are realising the sadness of this. In the end, a successful career – however much enjoyed – did not make up for the loneliness of being without these basic life relationships.

Indeed, our world has a certain craziness about it when it comes to romantic relationships. One might conclude from every form of entertainment that almost nothing else matters; finding true love is the absolute goal and central value of life.
