To add to sibling comment[0]. As I grow older I marvel at how the world behaves as if we are still in high school. Where I went to school there were definitely cool kids and most of us guys aspired to be in the football/rugby team. Our excuse back then was being teenagers. Now in hindsight, I realise there is no such thing as better. It is all relative. A man working a thankless corporate job for a lifetime only to be given a watch, to be managed by an MBA who knows nothing about the actual work isn't better than a woman who spends time raising her children. Man ends up with a watch and not so great relationship with his children and the woman ends up with deep love of her children. It is all relative. Some people love corporate life others find it suffocating. I wish people would stop saying something is better. By all means, doors should be opened for everyone so they have a chance to try it out. Maybe being a stay at home mom isn't for all women, that's fine too. We also need to grow a thick skin and learn to ignore people who make it seem like their chosen path is the right path. There is no such thing. Everything has pros and cons. There was great post on HN the other day, "What We Want Doesn’t Always Make Us Happy".
