The thing is though...
It's possible for a woman to avoid the drudgery of marriage and children without embracing whoredom. It's a great life strategy, isn't sinful, and is actually quite common.

I don't think they'd go for it.
A woman cannot "avoid the drudgery" of marriage and children withing being in Sin.
- Marriage and fruitfulness are part of God’s pre-fall creation order (Gen 1–2).
- Childbearing remains God’s normative calling for women even after the fall; the pain is curse, but the role is blessing.
- The New Testament never revokes the creation mandate and repeatedly commands or strongly commends marriage and childbearing for the majority of women.
Therefore, intentionally rejecting marriage and motherhood simply to avoid difficulty, responsibility, or “drudgery” has traditionally been viewed as disobedience to God’s revealed will (and in some cases as outright rebellion against the role in which God promises sanctification).

"Great life strategy" is subjective.
"Isn't sinful" is between one and their Maker.
"Actually quite common" is a bandwagon fallacy.
" 'Great life strategy' is subjective. "
That's exactly my point. Some people are cut out for the marriage and family lifestyle and some aren't. It's subjective.
" 'Isn't sinful' is between one and their Maker. "
Nope. The sinfulness of a thing isn't decided as part of some negotiation between a creature and his creator. The creator tells us what's sinful and what's not. It's not up for negotiation. Staying single is explicitly categorized as non-sinful.
" 'Actually quite common' is a bandwagon fallacy. "
Bandwagon fallacy? What is this, eight grade debate class? LOL.
Yes, believe it or not, it really is *common* for a woman to opt out of the marriage and family lifestyle without being a whore. I'm referring to OP's post which stated that the only two viable options for a woman are to (1) marry young and start breeding or (2) become a whore.
