Women may face no consequences in terms of laws or social stigmas, however, many are ultimately suffering big time in the dating market. If you can't find any examples around you, do a simple google search, the internet is loaded with stories. Even mainstream publications are commenting on the dilemma modern women face in dating/marriage: Why Women Can't Find a Good Man. There are statistically not enough single, employed/educated men to go around for upper-middle class women. Dalrock illustrated this beautifully here: More Grim News for Carousellers. This is the course many women are running in America these days and it's becoming almost comical.
This is an excerpt from a post of mine from earlier today:
-----
My issue is that with all the criticism of unmarried and unmarriageable men, from articles on Slate to Atlantic to NYT, there is never discussion of the obvious, which is that
there are a lot of unmarriageable women.
Women can try to force the notion that men should like them for their career and being equal in age, but that's just not going to happen. I have a good career. But I'll marry the nice, cute, mid-20s feminine secretary over the fat, obnoxious, mid-30s feminist lawyer. Of course those articles are often written by women who regret not settling down earlier. Now they are trying to dictate to men what they should look for in a mate. And most men, especially quality men, are not going to want to marry an angry 39 year old, a fat whale, or a woman with the thousand cock stare (or some combination).
Bottom line is, I'm in my late 30s. I still get attention from younger women (mid-late 20s). Should that end before I get married, I accept my fate and the decisions that I've made. But I think the conversation needs to be balanced, and women need to take responsibility for why so many of them remain unmarried.

In other words, the question always focuses on the men, but why not the women? Why can't any
men find any
good women?
As stated above, we care far less about their career than they do about ours. They can complain about this all they want, but as I often say, women can decide what they find attractive, men will decide what men find attractive.
A 35 year old lawyer may be 'accomplished' but she if she's also a dumpy semi-fattie, we won't give a shit. This is in addition to her being at the very tail end of her fertile years.
On that note, there are simply a plethora of physically unattractive, fat women.
And going beyond physical appearance, feminism has taught women to act like selfish, narcissistic cunts. Ironic, as many of pointed out, that feminism is a woman's own worst enemy. No matter what they preach, at the end of the day they cannot force us to find them attractive.
So instead of teaching women to be pretty and feminine since that is what a lot of men (particularly quality, masculine men) like, feminism promotes an anything goes philosophy.
This results in men selecting from a pool of dumpy/fat loud-mouthed pigs. As I've said, we've gone from idolizing feminine women (i.e. Farah Fawcett) to dumpy, obnoxious fatasses like Lena Dunham. Fat acceptance has turned into fat glorification. And we don't want that shit.
Sure, there are certainly good women out there. And most of us will settle down with them. But not with the other option. If women want to know why they aren't married, it just might help to look in the mirror, both figuratively and literally.
