OVERALL IMPRESSION -
In make a lot of compelling arguments about the term 'leftover' in reference to women in their thirties who aren't married. I fit the profile for the 1990's as I was married at twenty-three. I was surprised how the numbers changed through the decades, with big jumps for both women and men. I find the term 'leftover' insulting, and as double standards go, you showed just what gender means in society's eyes. Good job showing famous women who have chosen to stay single and have made themselves a success.

WHAT I LIKED BEST -
You had good facts to stand behind your arguments and I agree the term is indeed outdated. I was fascinated to see how much money a woman can earn if they remain single, as opposed to a married woman of the same age. I find nothing wrong with a woman's independence and deciding which route is right for her to take. Not everyone wants to have children, and with medical advances, waiting to have kids if you wanted isn't so difficult. You put a lot of thought into this essay and that showed. It would be nice if society's judgments would just vanish, but I don't believe that will every happen.
