Very interesting post. I will say that's really weird that a bunch of men want to marry you and then turn you into a full-time housewife. Personally, as a divorced man (where the marriage ended largely because of finances) one of the biggest things I've been looking for with dating prospects is someone who's professional and has their own paycheck roughly equivalent of mine, so I don't have to take care of someone again. (I also seem to be a little beyond the age of having kids, as I'm just over 40.) The last thing I want is a housewife, and all the economic uncertainty that comes with having only a single earner in the household. I do think the stuff about why women leave the workforce is important, but I think it should also be investigated on the male side too for comparison and contrast. Do women actually want to leave the industry more than men? Perhaps it's similar, but they're just more successful at it. Speaking personally, I frequently wish I could leave the industry. I like technology, but honestly I hate the industry. I really hate the open-plan work spaces more than anything, and they've become the norm everywhere. I also don't appreciate having so little of my work mean anything, and spending all my time on projects that end up in the trashcan. I'm tired of coworkers who never comment their code, and the lousy quality of code in general. I'm tired of horrible IT systems and policies. Finding a job that doesn't have these problems is possible, but not even remotely easy. And the jobs are usually located in terrible places too. I frequently wish I had gone into some kind of medical field, where there's more job stability, the pay's decent, there isn't pressure to work 60-80 hours/week, and you can work just about anywhere you want.
