This is from the article that appeared in the American Thinker on April 7th 2023. Dr. Spier discusses the misalignment of incentives between men and women in terms of their desire for commitment in relationships. Women are often afraid to voice their desire for marriage and family, which can result in giving away too much leverage in the negotiation of the relationship. The author argues that women should embrace their differences from men, and use their leverage to encourage commitment in relationships. The article also touches on the effects of the cultural trends following women's sexual liberation and the importance of societal norms that lead to long-term mental health for both men and women.

In this article Dr. Spier discusses the trend of choosing pets over children, which has become popular among young adults of Generation Z.

The article also touches on a study that suggests that child-free couples are happier than those with children. She also explores the idea that the emphasis on self-realization and happiness may have contributed to the reluctance to have children. She suggests that instead of solely pursuing happiness, people should focus on setting themselves up for the future to minimize regret and create a legacy.
