Should marriage become compulsory for women?

Huh?! If a woman chooses to not marry and/or not to have children - why would that be a sad thing darlin'??? That's called: Individual choice. What may be "right" for one gal may not be the "right" choice for another gal. Nothing wrong w/that is there?! So no, "compulsory" marriage for any person (male or female) is not a good idea. It should be a free choice to do or not to do so. And, there are many women out there who are married (happily!) who made the decision to not have children. Just b/c a woman never bared a child does not make her less a woman b/c she did not push a child out of her womb! :-o Am I reading your question correctly when you say freedom & shirking of "social responsibilities" to mean that you are saying that if a woman does not marry and/or have children that she then is "neglecting social responsibilities"?!?! Certainly not a true nor a fair statement to be making. Marriage btwn. two peoples should be a free choice as well as having children. No "social responsibility" statements needed on that subject.
