I am a woman and I feel disadvantaged compared to men in two ways when it comes to family life:
Just a completely ridiculous attitude and an example of the article.
Very few men, especially in this day and age" get to say "I want to have 5 kids" or "let's stop at 2 kids" or "I do not want to be a parent".
You are not disadvantaged compared to men in this way, you are incredibly advantaged. Literally have authority over this in a zillion ways men do not.
And the extra decade without family responsibilities without limiting your options for spouses, I would argue, is the biggest differentiator in the workplace successes.
And that's the reason for the article. Women have been told they can have it all: 5 kids and workplace success.
na gonna happen
- kaitai 13y agoWhat? Do you only engage in relationships where you're stepped on? Plenty of men I know have the conversation about how many kids to have or not have. Yes, biologically women do the child-bearing, but it is -- for most couples -- a conversation, a joint decision. Like deciding whether to move to Florida or take care of the aging parents or which career to prioritize. As is so often true of the poor-me-I'm-a-disadvantaged-man crowd, it sounds like you are choosing to associate with unpleasant people. Respect yourself, and find someone who respects you. Sounds like it would be a nice change.
