[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) it doesn’t affect me on a personal level, but make no mistake it affects me from the level that when they retire, they haven’t paid into the system for however many years. Just coatailling their husband and taking money working people have put into the system through FICA. 
Claiming to have “the most important and hardest” job in the world. Sorry babe, once your kids are in elementary school, you are living a life of leisure, stop pretending otherwise. 
2) I don’t care other than believing they are lazy and persist on continuing the stereotype of dependence on men versus contributing to equality. [/quote]

This exactly. I believe that they are bringing all women down by allowing companies to justify the fact that all women quit when they have kids etc. Even worse when they have daughters and push them so hard academically. SAHMs of a daughter at a fancy private school? And they don’t even see the hypocrisy.

Goes double for those who have degrees from fancy institutions that could’ve gone to someone who would actually use them.[/quote]

So... Even though it makes me happier to stay home with my daughter while she's little, I'm supposed to keep working for the benefit of YOUR career....?
Also, I did use my degree for several years before having children, and I plan to use it again. But I don't agree that a career is the only reason to get a college degree. I'm an educated citizen, which in the end is probably the bigger benefit to society of my education, vs what I'd be doing with my degree in some corporate office. Should I have stopped at a high school degree if I planned to stay home for a few years with my kids? Should I have not gone to school at all....?[/quote]

You are obviously about you and not about the greater good. Your daughter will not benefit from that. Read the studies.[/quote]

I did. They say all I have to do is work before she's 14. :-) But yea, sorry, I do care more about my happiness and my own family than about your career.[/quote]

Or your own pride or equality within your family or how your pre-teens perceive you. But that’s awesome. You do you.[/quote]

I think you’re proving OP’s point. You seem to care a lot about what I do with my life, whereas I don’t care whether you work or not.[/quote]
