Issue #3: DIAMONDS ARE (NOT) FOREVER

                          Diamonds Are (Not!) FOREVER                                                            The Truth Behind Diamond Rule #1      

       Some of our readers may ask, "What's the deal with Diamond Rule #1  (make money first and babies later)?"  "Isn't that sexist?" "Isn't this a free country?"  Absolutely! We are free to succeed or to fail. But let's be honest: what do Jessica Simpson, Sophia Amoruso, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Marissa Mayer, and the majority of other Femtrepeneurs all have in common? They worked on their careers before they worried about procreation.
      Social scientists have proven that " the younger the mother, the poorer the family." Thus, these successful Fem-T's got "hip." If you want to be the next Misty Copeland, do you think you could practice dancing for eight hours, travel the one hour back and forth from work, sleep eight hours, eat, shop, and RAISE A CHILD?! Maybe. But why not simply work on mastering yourself, and, have kids when you have enough money and a good foundation on which  to raise them?
      So, as you can see, this rule is far from sexist. Instead, it is based on that boring word, STATISTICS.  In any case, this is not to say that being a successful Femtrepreneur can't be done after you have kids. After all, J.K. Rawling (the creator of Harry Potter) did it. All that this rule is saying is that it is sooooo much easier for you to do YOU without  the expenses that come with raising a child. (Social scientists also say that raising a child will cost you a million dollars by the time he or she is 18 years old; and this is a potential one million dollars that could be invested into creating a multi-billion dollar business instead.)
