Most of the comments on the article were fairly trite but I found this one refreshingly different:

Dear Mr. Regnerus,

Women are indeed the frustrated hostages of a society that assigns them a rapidly declining market value. All around, I'd say that if our society were not so blinded by residual sexism, the benefits of marrying early versus marrying late would be nearly equal between the sexes.
You acknowledge that recent biological evidence has shown that male reproductive prowess declines at rates fairly analogous to those seen in women; that men over the age of 40, for instance, are more likely to produce offspring with autism, bi-polar disorder, and lower IQ scores.
I would like to add that although men are capable of producing sperm much longer than women are capable of menstruation, the male sexual peak actually hits at around age 18, even earlier than it does for women. Not to mention the indisputable fact that, worldwide, women live several years longer than men on average. Yet it is entirely unfair for you, or anyone else for that matter, to claim that the widespread phenomenon of increasingly late marriages and childbirths are wholly a disaster.
My own mother was 40 years old when she gave birth to me, (nineteen years ago, I might add) while my father was 37. Between them, they hold six advanced degrees - in fact, they met at a Yale Law School reunion. The collective level of education, life experience, and economic security that they have exposed me to has been tremendously important in making me the confident, educated, and thoughtful young woman that I am today. This is something that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, whether that includes a career, marriage, both, or neither. For the vast majority of my youth, my mother was, in fact, the primary bread-winner in my family.
There is no defensible reason for why anyone should find educational and financial success to be any more troublesome or less admirable for a woman than they find it to be troublesome for a man. That many people still do is merely evidence of the long way humanity has to go in transitioning from the millennium-spanning heritage of patriarchal society.
Why, pray tell, do you conclude that declining rates of marriage and increasing levels of education are problematic for a world currently struggling to conserve energy resources and to develop ever more innovative solutions to global problems? It seems a bit odd that a Professor of Sociology, of all disciplines, would take it upon himself to denounce what appears to be a dynamic, necessary, and progressive shift in traditional value systems and societal roles. Sure, there seems to be a current abundance of dissatisfaction among today's men and women. But when has anyone ever been able to fix societal tensions by electing to move backwards in time? No. It is an exciting but stressful reality that our generation, like almost every generation before ours, is the witness to, as well as the driving force behind, a revolution whose consequences stretch far beyond the foreseeable present. And I doubt, to the utmost, that admonishing today’s youth to marry early, settle down, and procreate is in line with that future.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Spergel
