You're making a straw man argument here... none of the comments above say "defer completely" or "every single decision".
- ksdale 5y agoHaha the parent post literally said that it was ironic that a woman would marry an ambitious man and then complain about said ambition. The ambition, implicitly, being wanting to move to Asia for a job. It seems to me if a woman isn't allowed to complain about moving continents for a job, she's not allowed to complain about anything, and this is, therefore, not a strawman.
- AussieWog93 5y agoYeah, I don't see the straw man there. Signing up for 55-hour workweeks does not mean signing up for a life in Asia.
- DwnVoteHoneyPot 5y agoSo with that logic... if he gets a huge opportunity to run the Asian division which he feels compelled to take despite her objections, then she is not allowed to ask for smaller concessions such as "hey, can you turn off the work phone on Saturdays"? You linking those together doesn't make sense.
- ksdale 5y agoI don't see any problem with that, I'm not the one who said it was ironic that a woman would marry an ambitious man and then have problems with moving to Asia. I don't see any conflict at all between loving someone's ambition and also wanting other things from the relationship.
