I'm a 30 year old stay at home mother of three children. I can say in my experience I am looked down on by other women because I do not have that career or education that society feels I should have. By societies standards I am unsuccessful but I have never been happier then I would ever be with a career. I know quite a few women my age that do not have children and have that career but are not happy which is so sad.

[AnaGarcia-ldlf]

Well, and I know women who have gotten pregnant and then said that motherhood is overrated.
We have always been told that motherhood is the most beautiful thing that can happen to And it depends, it depends a lot on the person and their goals, and no, many of us do not want to have children and you know what? It's okay not to have them.

[cybercind]

Totally agree with Jordan.I had both career, then motherhood at 31. Motherhood was the most rewarding...and making the choice to be a stay home mom, one should Never feel lesser for making that choice.
A career doesnt last forever, and you're always easily replaced.
Im glad now in retirement, I have a family to enjoy.

I find it so strange to see so many people make comments about women and how they believe they should live their lives. Personally speaking, I'm happy being single until I find someone that I connect with. I would be completely miserable if I pursued a relationship and created a family with someone just because of social pressure. Not everyone wants to live their lives with the same purpose. In saying that, I don't even want to bring children into this world. It is a mess.

[Anexoticadventure]

Not my experience AT ALL. Grew up with family/"society" teaching me the opposite - that being a mother was paramount. Even as a young child I WAS THE ONE telling them that I didn't want that and that there were "bigger things" I wanted to do in life. I am happy and fulfilled following what my conscience had been telling me all along.

As a 57 year old female chemical engineer, I completely agree with Jordan!!!!

I got married and surprisingly got pregnant four months later. I didn’t know if I wanted children or not, but I can honestly say, I am so very thankful for that pregnancy! We have three children now. All engineers, too. I quit working when our first child was born and didn’t go back until our youngest was in 2nd grade. I knew I couldn’t do it all. We did without a lot, but it was so worth it!

We have been empty-nesters for many, many years now. It has been a wonderful ride!

My mother believed in education for her daughters. So many women from her generation had no opportunities except motherhood many instances with abusive husbands with no way out of the relationship. I’ve parented 3 and enjoy a career. Women have gifts and talents to share with the world. Top students at leading universities are young women. You can have both.

[surfdreamer]

l just want to know what world you live in where women are ‘taught‘ to put careers over family?? In my world, watching my own mother suffer from financial, emotional, verbal, & physical abuse was enough to convince me that many men are unreliable & unsafe to be around. If anything, society teaches women to get a husband, have kids, stay submissive & be quiet, because you have no worth if you don’t.

[kassiejguzzardi]

I haven’t watched the full video yet; but my thought is instead of stressing the differences between men and women, the lack of equality or what men and women should be encouraged to do, how about we focus on an individual’s aptitudes and encourage them to follow what they gravitate to, enjoy doing and probably will excel in exceptionally?

[annemcmurray]

Thank you Dr Peterson for giving voice to these unspoken psychological truths about men and women in our era. I so appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom. Blessings !

[Dargyful]

I’m a very intelligent woman who had many career opportunities. I don’t regret raising my two children bc no career could ever fulfill me the way my children do .

[techeepeach]

I agree with Jordan. We’re not being honest with ourselves or with our women. I know so many successful women who are in their late 30s, with no kids, desperate for families and kids. It’s painful to see them struggling emotionally like that. These are women who prioritized work and career and success, and one day they wake up and realize they’ve lost something that no amount of career success can bring back.

[rosariolarion]

Dr. Peterson has a beautiful mind. Am so thankful that I stumble this great video. Really an eye opener. Thank you for sharing

[unstoppable]

Jordan is great everytime I listen to him, he always shows me a new perspective to view the world from. You know those old cameras you look through, and it would show a picture. You click the button and it shows another picture to look at from the reel? Perspectives are like that. I'm just adding another picture to my reel. More people need to recognize how power perceptions are for us. One day

[robertlyon]

As an older man watching what has happened to our culture, this breaks my old heart on so many levels .

[viciouscycle]

If a marriage and having children had been an only way to be happy for a woman, then my mom would have been a happy person and woman. She is married, she has a reliable and not cheating husband, she is a stay at home mom, she has 5 children. But she is too much unhappy, she has been unhappy always, she has been anti social, shy, coward, timid, depressed. And she caused us to be the same. I havent seen her happy since my childhood. Happiness is a complex thing. Marriage and having children is not the solution, i mean it does not guarantee happiness for a woman.

At 4:35. I have found female lawyers also bail from law firms due to the hours. Decades ago it was common in a corporate firm to require 65 billable hours per week for junior associates. That has increased to some cases where 90 billable hours per week is common. I know one lawyer in NYC who averaged 105 hours per week her last year before quitting. This not only has an outcome for child bearing but for establishing and maintaining a marriage partner, friendships, leisure time, and extended family. There is also the mental stress and toll on the body. Men and women suffer from it, but especially women. Young lawyers can only keep that pace for so long and their health will suffer. Something therefore has to give. That is partly why the average career lifespan for lawyers is so low compared to other professions.

[damyjuk]

If you wanted to depopulate the world by stealth then this is heading in the right direction.

[doris]

Post Covid everyone is asking this not just women... why am I working for a soul-sucking boss?
I was a high performer until I realized the companies I was working for didn't really deserve great people.
When making my will I was talking to my lawyer and he said across the board he has trouble finding new hires. In the past he would have 12 or more responses to a job posting and good ones, now he is lucky if he gets 1 in 6 months.

My grandma told me that the best husband is your job and to only bring to the world the number of children that you can raise alone. Her reasoning was men leave, and even if your man did not leave you he could still die or become an invalid. She never divorced grandpa. My mom is haply married for over 42 years and I am married to my high school sweet heart and have two children.

People talk about the feminist movement from the 70's ruining families but men abandon their children in droves. The number of men that should have been paying child support and should have been visiting their children and are not way surpasses the men that are fullfilling their legal obligation towards the family.
