Do you know any modern women who seem to want all the benefits of old-fashioned values/morals, but want things that old-fashioned women would never have sought, such as career, equal power in marriage, etc.?
I've actually met women who seem old-fashioned in some ways -- but they are completely modern in other ways.
It makes you wonder, does a man even exist for them? And how could he -- he'd be a walking contradiction. A square circle.

My Reponse: They want to but cannot.
That's the sad thing about a lot of girls and women today. It is like the issue of the permanent diaconate in a sense. It is difficult to live two vocations, if possible, without lacking in both or either of them.
A woman then desires to have both the married and, in a certain sense, the single life. It is hard to not be lacking in either or both.
I remember one of the interviews with Bishop Williamson, though, where he talks about how even though a woman may have had a career, she can apply her knowledge and experience to raising her children and taking care of a household. The best thing for many single women today then is to find a husband, as Bp. Williamson also put forth.
I think someone on the forum maybe recently pointed out how men attract what they are too, and so the men need to improve themselves on the natural level and let the grace of God work in them to build on nature.
