Anyway, I can't understaind why someone would choose not to go big in their field cause they'd rather be a housewife. That's just me. If she wants to do it then fine, but the moment she says having a real job is a "man's work", I feel insulted, cause I plan on having a real job and making it into the "man's world", and she makes it sound like a woman belongs in the house.
I'm not a feminist. All I'm saying is any woman can be a working parent without having to rely on a husband to provide her with a home. Of course forcing someone to do something against their will is wrong. But getting a job is something everyone should aspire to achieve. Plus, I believe it's not mentally healthy to not have anything to do other than run a house. Having a job makes you feel useful and everyone needs to feel useful to some extent. Notice I've been accusing her of being sexist because she has been making sexist statements. If she wants to be a housewife and be attached to a man her entire life, it's fine, go right ahead and just hope her man never leaves her, cause then she'll be left with nothing cause her husband was her only source of financement, and that is because she made it that way soooo she had it coming.  |
lol you've got it all worked out
for the record, I got the feeling that when she said "man's job" it was meant to be understood that she meant "what is stereotypically considered to be a man's job by those who don't know any better" except that that's too long to say while maintaining an argument
I doubt she meant it as an honest opinion that men are more suited to be lawyers than she is.
(women are much better liars, much better lawyers, this is just accepted anyways)
and now we enter hypothetical land:
Were I a woman, I think I'd want to get the having children part of my life over with before I was 25 or so, because women who have children at a later age well... it punishes them physically >< and also because if the man leaves the woman within the first 10 years she has a chance of still being hot enough to get another nice catch.
Or I'd never have kids, get rich, and play with young men
and now I'm leaving hypothetical land cuz it's grossing me out!
