Our NBC News Decision Desk poll asked Gen Z adults (18-29 years old) what they consider important to a successful life. The combination of gender and politics produced two very different sets of priorities:
Replying to @SteveKornacki
ALL of the women who placed marriage/children last are lying. Getting married and having children are the top two but they know what they are supposed to say, based on their "education" at University of Netflix. Every woman knows this is the truth.

This was my take as well. The women are lying. They are just programmed to put career first. Deep inside of them they would swoon over marriage.

Taylor Swift is all about men, even if she trashes them, and they flock to watch "The Bachelor," "Summer I Turned Pretty," etc. It has never changed and never will.

They are not lying. If women wanted children they would be preparing at 14-20. There is near zero evidence of this. This shows the end of modernity. Total collapse is here.

The propaganda against women-raising-families was intense starting in the 1960s, so that when I was a kid in the early 1970s, we scoffed & howled in laughter disbelief at my mother's yearbook in wh/girls stated thr ambition to "Get an M.R.S. degree".

I'm pretty sure a lot of them really believe they can buy happiness and fulfillment. They truly believe God, marriage, and family is an impediment to that.

orrr maybe they are telling the truth 😨😨. men speak about women like this and wonder why marriage and having children is at the bottom of the list. too many of you are misogynistic idiots who think everything you say is gospel: exhibit A ^^

Why is it inconceivable that every single person doesn't want the same thing? I never wanted to get married or have kids.

I really think it's not anymore. They really don't want to be stuck at home without much money... they want fame and travel and changing the world.

Who the fuck wants to get married to the idiotic men of today? Also, who the fuck wants to bring a kid into this shitty world that’s too expensive to even afford their own shit let alone a child.

Lying or not they'd make terrible moms. So either Western Civ dies, or it limps on with yet one more generation of narcissists created by ambivalent moms.

You don’t understand what you just read… Women are placing finances over children not because we don’t want families or husbands but because we NEED to have money before getting married and having children.

Agree. Majority of women want marriage & kids, hands down. I don’t know even 1 woman who has other goals. So the pill can’t be correct.

Im a woman and no its a lie have a good day
Cope, your fellow hoes are cooked.
Having money to do what you want makes it possible to have children but having children does not help you do anything other than have children. This is a list of practical steps you need to take to be successful and having children does not guarantee success in any other area.

This is true. Women will know that they "shouldn't" say children or marriage.

No, they are not lying. They don’t change their minds until 30-35
