The NY Observer last week came up with a piece about what they are coining as the New Victorian’s – twentysomethings who are opting to settle down, marry, and have families right after collage.
No these youngsters are not the product of snake handling religionists who talk in tongues, marry at 12, and have babies to repopulate their cult – these are – in the case of this article – ivy league graduates with a good head on their shoulders and beaming with potential for progress in the big city. The traditional stereo type – possibly a byproduct of the 60’s – was to label co-ed graduate women with the anti-men, femi-nazi, lesbians, and a slew of others that amount to the fact that they will never marry, focus only on their careers, don’t even think of having children, and have as many lovers as they desire.
