Single workers aren’t there to pick up the slack for their married colleagues

  My first thought was that this would be whiney, but the author lays it out in detail and makes a lot of great points.

    The style is OK, but it is whining. By definition, it can't be anything else. "I want all the perks of being single, but I envy perks of being married". All arguments are single-sided, some are wrong (correlation does not imply causation), most short-sighted. It pretty much defines just another oppressed minority. Because everyone should have a chance to be a victim of oppressive patriarchy! Unless of course, you are a white, straight, married white male that has a family, in which case you are irremediable. One that got me irritated most was: > Workplace celebrations of employees who are engaged or about to parent a child may be motivated by the kindest of sentiments, but they are painful to those who only wish they had such experiences Yes. The world should be a gray, boring, nothingness just so no oversensitive, envious person ever felt offended or left out. Such a typical modern mainstream narrative. :D I'm not going to get into more discussion as I don't have time, and I feer enraging some PC police somewhere.
