Women over 30 will have it forever ingrained in their minds, thanks to Newsweek, that "A 40-year-old single woman [is] ‘more likely to be killed by a terrorist' than to ever marry."
In her new book, Why Smart Men Marry Smart Women, Dr. Whelan explains why SWANS - what she has dubbed as Strong Women Achievers No Spouse, marry at the same rates as other women over 30. She shatters a number of myths, including: "Men don't make passes at women who wear glasses." But a staggering 71% of high-achieving men said a woman's career or educational success makes her more desirable as a wife.
Can you identify with the SWANS?
"Our campuses are steeped in political correctness-that's hardly news to anyone. But no one realizes that radical social agendas have also taken over campus health and counseling centers, with dire consequences."
"I learned a lot about how I can help spread conservatism and the keys to communicating effectively. I loved Bay Buchanan and Cleta Mitchell talking about how you really need to be assertive and knowledgeable. It was excellent…small group, giving us the chance to express ourselves while also listening to informative speakers," said Corrine Lucas, a student at the University of Tennessee and an attendee at the Luce Policy Institute's February 3, 2007 Women's Activism Seminar.
Hailed by Milton Friedman as "unusually well written" and "encyclopedic in its coverage of the arguments for and against alternative modes of organizing schooling," Andrew J. Coulson's book Market Education: The Unknown History was the subject of a special CBLPI supporter event on school choice held in Seattle in January. This annual "Circle of Friends" event was hosted by the Luce Policy Institute and board member and Seattle area resident Barb Kenney.
