Totally serious question: You think the world would be better off if half of all world leaders and CEO’s were women?
Is she a lesbian? Seems to be the normal lesbian talking points. “family is nothing, career is everything”
Don’t they ever learn? If (most of) us men wanted to marry someone competitive and successful in business, we’d marry another man. What we want is someone who can make life worth living, not someone who makes home into an extension of the office. If her home and family is not her first priority, then she becomes much less attractive in our eyes.
These ‘feminists’ push the “career before all” mindset and then they whine that no man will date them. They never learn!
She sure has found a clever way to unleash her fury at Muslim culture. Just wonder if it is too subtle for them to notice.
Straight forward decisions take 45 minutes to reach and a what should be a 15 minute meeting drags on for 2 hours, with almost nothing being resolved. Its freaking exhausting.
The equivocating, couching, and lack of assertiveness makes me feel like my head is going to explode.
All these liberal women who decry the relatively low numbers of women on corporate boards or in high-ranking political positions fail to understand that for most of us, the fire-in-the-belly is just not there. We just aren’t driven to conquer the world. Many of us are quietly ambitious, but that’s why we become small-business owners. We tend not to want to run the world. This is partly why so many women in high elective office are liberals: they represent the small minority of females who do want to run everyone else’s life.
They can’t change biology by legislation. Many of our tastes, interests, goals, and attitudes are hard-wired and not responsive to pressure. The desire to have children and care for them is wired into our brains. Our responsiveness to oxytocin—the neurochemical that is released during breast-feeding and imposes a certain broodmare tranquility on us at those times—is also innate. Libs, you need to deal with it.
Your company won’t remember you after your death. Your children will. How they will remember you is up to you.
So the world would be such a better place if women just stuck to the workplace and abandoned children to daycare, huh? How would it be wonderful without any decent people being raised by any mothers? You need decent people for a wonderful world.
I worked ONE day a week (opposite of my husband so no day care) for MANY years while my kids were young and even homeschooled for a while best decision I ever made. I am working more now that they are older, but don’t regret those early years at all. People thought I was crazy, too- just put them in daycare like everyone else. what are you so afraid of they said.
Bottom line.
“No man would dare to suggest, for example, that the field of nursing or teaching would be improved if men were more equally represented. “
Men and women RN’s openly admit it to each other all the time. Because there have been improvements in pay and benefits with more men represented. (disclaimer notice: I am an RN)
No wonder these wizards at FB support Obozo....
Women should NOT be punished by having a baby!
The new Gloria Steinem in every negative way possible who was mentored at Harvard by none other than Larry Summers (nee Samuelson). Another socialist useful idiot.
Just curious, who raises Sandburgs two children? Essentailly, that person is filling the role of the mother that she vacated by being COO of facebook.
She is part of a trend that equates mothering to carefully selecting specialists and caregivers to be there for her, and then writing checks.
My daughter began her career on a Disney property and may have been destined for resort management. Today she home schools three with another due to enter K in a couple years. I am most pleased with her choice.
No woman will ever be the equal of a man until she can look at her reflection in a plate glass store window and, upon seeing a balding head, a paunch over the belt and a myriad of wrinkles say...
"damn, I'm looking good!"
I read an article yesterday about how writers should do more to promote the equality of women scientists. The writer of this article has noticed that profiles of women scientists highlight how they juggle family and career, but profiles of men scientists never mention their families. She opines that this is blatant sexism... well, I won’t go into everything that she said.
But these kinds of articles always promote the idea that women are held back, somehow. In my career, there is a glass ceiling for women scientists. But the same is true of any career. While the assumption is always that the glass ceiling exists because of the “glass ceiling”, it overlooks the proverbial 800 pound gorilla in the room. Women are biologically programmed to put their children first. Men simply are not programmed the same way.
I remember reading in my calculus textbook the story of a Cambridge professor in the 1700s who tried to interest more girls in studying higher math by publicizing an Italian mathematician, Maria Agnesi. I believe that women are still underrepresented in math, despite that effort.
Promoting equal rights for women is great. We can compete in any academic field; physically, we’re limited, and that won’t change. But people (liberals) are going to have to realize that open doors don’t mean that every woman is going to rush through them. The fact that many women still don’t choose the high-power careers doesn’t necessarily mean that an institutional bias is keeping them out or down.
I arranged my classes and work schedule around my son. I did not finish college until the year he graduated from high school. I’ll never advance as far as a man in my field, but that’s a result of my choices, nothing else.
Nonsense. The United States Government is comprised primarily of women: it's just that most of them have penises.
