NP. I don’t think every woman should work, but I hate the dynamic of SAHM who takes care of everything so that their DH can do nothing but work. Several friends had to work under bosses like these who required useless FT and discouraged flexibility (because they never needed it themselves) and it was hellish. Definitely causes inequality in the workplace.[/quote]

How interesting that the really bad bosses aren't held responsible for their bad management skills, but instead other women who are not even working are to blame for their bad behavior. [/b]
 
Women who never even met these asshole bosses are to blame for their shit.

Until we start holding bad bosses responsible for their own actions, NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

Poor victimized male bosses who can't even be held responsible for their decisions... Let's go right back to Eve and the apple, shall we?  Poor victimized men. [/quote]

Exactly.  It's not the boss...it's his wife.  Sure![/quote]

Yes, because the wife, by giving up and staying home, enables her DH to be an asshole. If she gave him equal responsibilities of home and kids, he would have empathy for other working parents.[/quote]

Ahh...now who can't see past the end of their nose?  You were in a situation where you think things would have been better for you if a woman had been working out of the home.  But a)  you don't know that that's true even for that one specific situation, and b) that certainly doesn't mean that it generalizes to all situations.  It doesn't generalize to mine.

Also, how do you feel about people in the workforce who never marry, who are childfree, who have grown children, who have live-in childcare from hired help or family, who lost primary custody of their children in a divorce?  Are their choices okay?  Or should everyone be required to have exactly the same situation you do at home?  [/quote]
