Funny how now the same thing is happening in China and the 'reason' given for all of the 30 year old single women over there... the research was conducted by a woman and interviewed only woman and the conclusion is that men are 'intimidated' by the success of those women, therefore they are not marrying them. Women and their soft-shoe simp backers would rather have these women live in fantasyland and believe a lie than tell them the truth that men really couldn't care less about a woman's career beyond her making enough to be reasonally self-sufficient if needs be, and that a woman actually having home-making skills and not trying to compete for control with the man is MUCH more important.
Lol@'liberated women'. What are they liberated from? An actual meaningful and happy existence? These women think they are high fliers and breaking down the walls in their 20s, but then they see that all those materials don't mean anything in their 30s and they desire marriage, but there is no one to marry them.

'Chinese men want wives who are easier to control': How China's high-flying single women are rejected because male suitors are intimidated by their successes
Hysteria is growing in China about the number of unmarried 'leftover women' - but the fault lies with the country's insecure male population, according to a new investigation.
Far from spurning suitors, highly successful career women aged 26 to 34 badly want to be married, but find themselves constantly rejected by Chinese men who are uncomfortable with their careers and achievements.
The findings come from Dr Sandy To, a sociologist based at the University of Hong Kong.
One woman, a 29-year-old fund accountant with a UK Master's degree, described how a potential suitor, introduced to her by her parents, backed off because 'he said he felt that he had to spend a lot of effort to control me, so he chose someone else who was easier to control.'
Another interviewee, a financial services manager, 33, said: 'I used to date a guy who was much older… He preferred me not working. His idea was that I should quit work after we got married.'
The results come just one week after the country's communist government upset its young female population by ordering its feminist All-China Women’s Federation to use the derogatory term 'leftover women' in order to urge them into marriage.

China's government and media are concerned over the phenomenon of the 'sheng nu' - literally 'leftover women' - who remain unmarried despite having a good education and high-flying jobs.
In 2007, the Chinese Ministry of Education attributed their failure to find a husband to their 'overly high expectations for marriage partners', in an official explanation of what sheng nu means.
