Love and Marriage: The case for "settling."
Discussing Lori Gottlieb in The Atlantic Monthly, who advises women that they should settle for men who are "Mr. Good Enough," rather than "Mr. Right," in order to "have the infrastructure in place to have a family," MEGHAM DAUM in the Los Angeles Times says "You shouldn't since this is no longer the 19th century." "The case for settling" presumes that motherhood "is as necessary a part of adult female life as breathing." In reality, "there are infinite ways to define a fulfilling life," and parenthood is only one of them..."
Lesley M.M. Blume in Huffingtonpost.com suggests a personal ad for Gottlieb to consider:
"SWF will condescend to tolerate a subpar, chores-oriented, largely absentee man to participate in joyless marriage that will resemble a mundane non-profit."
