“Daddies be damned! Who are the British women who think fathers are irrelevant?”
By Men's Activism News | Source | November 2, 2009
Article here. Excerpt:
'Having reached the age of 38 without meeting Mr Right, Karen Shefras decided to become a mother by using donated sperm.
As a result, Karen, who runs her own company, has never met her ten-month-old daughter's father. The closest she came to him was at the clinic where five of her eggs were injected with sperm donated by the dark-haired and intelligent businessman.
'Ideally, it would have been nice to have met a man and had a baby the conventional way,' says Karen, now 41. 'I always pictured myself getting married - but it just didn't happen.
...
But the most telling thing of all is that Karen still hopes to meet 'Mr Right' - a positive sign at least that having a baby without a man does not remove a woman's emotional need for a life partner.
'I really do hope a man comes along,' she says. 'I can't see myself without a man for ever.'
In the end, perhaps the truth is that, for complete fulfilment, women need both a partner and children.
The most worrying question of all is why the most natural thing in the world has become so seemingly difficult to achieve, and why a generation of women have fallen foul of their dreams.'

Wow, a 41 year old woman in the twilight of her reproductive years with a bastard child in tow……what a catch… I'm not sure she knows that she just ensured herself to a life alone or at very least to a man well below her obvious overinflated standards…..
