[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a physician in a female-dominated specialty.  Most of his female colleagues with kids are part-time.  Those that have risen up into senior leadership positions tend to be single/no kids.  A couple women still work FT and have risen up, but usually have help (e.g., a nanny/au pair).

I'd say most are married to other physicians, although there is one with a SAHD.[/quote]

This highlights the point that most  men are not going to sacrifice their careers for women, and they are less likely to marry a woman who they perceive   won't be willing to sacrifice her career. In short, most men really don't want to marry their equals.[/quote]

If you want children, who is going to raise them needs to be considered.  Two people with high demand careers that want children need to hire out full time childcare.  Two people with lower wage jobs that can’t afford for either to stay home have to hire out full time childcare.  Many women don’t want an “equal” either for that reason. They want a man that makes a lot more than them so they can stay home with children for a period of time.  There isn’t anything wrong with hiring out childcare if you need to, but let’s not pretend men are the only ones that don’t want an equal.  [/quote]
