It's not the lack of ambition, but often lack of skills and women having kids in their 20s that's holding them back on the corporate ladder. Without being in a highly paid field, she's stuck with very slow growing corporate salaries beginning from 60K a year, and everyone knows about salaries deflation. Men marry on average 2 years later, and start having kids later (closer to 30s), while facing less discrimination at work. There is no single research that proves women lack ambition en masse vs men. It's actually the opposite. [/quote]

Not everyone is ambitious. Not everyone wants a high-powered job. Men OR women. Let's not pretend everyone is headed for the C-suite.  Let's not pretend every man is, either!

[quote=Anonymous]And why is HE not pick up his crap at home, so that the wife doesn't need to run 2 shifts? [/quote]

He definitely should do that, and your considerable energies would be much better used figuring out a fair division of labor in your household rather than arguing about imaginary house managers.

[quote=Anonymous]On your suggestion, I know 2 families where an high paying exW in fact took off with a lover and left kids with a much lower paid exH. She paid him alimony but his career never recovered after the divorce. He ended up stuck in mid 150K in his profession after being de-facto single dad for 10 years. [/quote]

A fine model to follow then.  Do that.

[quote=Anonymous]Professional women line up for IVF because they don't need dads on board, more trouble than actual contribution in most cases. [/quote]

Women, professional and not, line up for IVF because they want children. They want them to the point of spending money, undergoing procedures and doing it again and again. They want children that much.

All ok except that it’s nearly impossible to negotiate a fair division of labor when testosterone rich partner doesn’t want to. Thus women got divorced..[/quote]
