It would be nice if Economist could post an article discussing the supply of "marriageable women" (using their words). Also, plenty of old failing "you can have it all" narrative like: "Women have learned that

They were desperate to release something ASAP. The enemy is at the gates.

That's cool, as long as everyone has both options. Thousand years later, first colonists in a different galaxy: - Remember that dude from our childhood? - Yeah, choosing to live a mere 70 years - so weird... - Never mind, let's k
