Should Women Ditch Uni To Have Babies?

Kirstie Allsopp hit headlines recently when she suggested women should find a man and have children by the age of 27, rather than going to uni, pursuing a career and putting off motherhood to their 30s or 40s. The backlash against this suggestion was phenomenal and rightly so - fancy telling young women that they should aspire to nothing more than marriage and motherhood!

I rose to the podium for Reveal Magazine, desperate to assure any young women reading that Ms Allsopp's well meaning advice should not be taken too seriously. It seems sad in this age of feminism and female success, for a woman to go back to a time when the fairer sex just didn't really do much. We've moved on. Women ACHIEVE. And it's a wonderful thing. So let's get women off to university and on to bettering the world.
