Summary

Susan Patton, aka “The Princeton Mom,” outraged feminists everywhere in 2013 when she wrote an open letter to the Daily Princetonian telling female students to find a husband on campus before they graduate.

The post went viral, with more than 100 million hits, and eventually became the subject of Patton’s book, Marry By Choice, Not By Chance. In it, Patton gives tons of advice about everything from how to strike while the greatest number of single young men is available to you; how to attract a man who is your intellectual and emotional equal; how to date to find a mate; and how to find satisfaction in your roles as a wife and mother. S

Patton is a native New Yorker and one of the first women to graduate from Princeton University. She’s also a human resources consultant, an executive coach in New York City.

0:00.0	Good afternoon and welcome to another edition of the Suzanne Venker Show, where we tell
0:09.3	truths the culture won't. As always, this program is brought to you by Hair Saloon for Men.
0:15.3	Hair Saloon isn't just a place to get a haircut. It's an honorable rebellion against the
0:19.0	feminization of the American male. Men and women are
0:22.0	different, and that's a good thing. At Hair Saloon, they don't offer coupons because they don't need to.
0:26.7	Their prices are always reasonable and customers never feel shortchanged when they walk out
0:30.5	the door. So get out of your wife's salon and head on over to haresaloon.com. They have 18 locations
0:35.7	in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Boston, and Houston, book online
0:39.4	or through their mobile app. Again, that's hair saloon.com. I have a 19-year-old daughter in college
0:45.5	who, like most young women her age, enjoys an abundance of support and guidance with respect to

1:01.7	and more importantly, what will have the single greatest effect on her happiness and well-being.
1:08.2	Marriage and family. The assumption is that women can and should map out their
1:13.9	lives the way men map out theirs, as though the sexes are exactly the same. In the age of
1:20.6	equality, we pretend. We pretend that women don't care about love and commitment, that they can move
1:26.5	in and out of meaningless sexual relationships with no repercussions at all. We pretend that women don't care about love and commitment, that they can move in and out of meaningless sexual relationships with no repercussions at all.
1:30.9	We pretend that women don't want to get married, even though the reality show, say yes to
1:34.5	the dress, has been a runaway success for 12 years.
1:38.5	And we pretend that a woman's response to having a baby won't be fierce and intense and unique
1:43.0	to her as a woman. We pretend all of this, even though the truth that women are gloriously and demonstrably different from men sexually and otherwise,
1:52.0	is glaringly obvious to anyone who pays attention.
