[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Most of the poor in this country are women. It's not a coincidence. "

Agree, it's not. There are several systemic reasons why women, and especially women with kids, are way more at risk for poverty. But still, the list only applies to low income women. So there is a entire population of women who that list doesn't apply to. [/quote]

There are a lot of women who are well educated high-earners who notice a disparity between men and women with regard to expectations for childcare. This seems to be what many, many DCUM women struggle with--whether to WOTH or SAH, being mommy-tracked, finding a job that will accommodate young children, arguments with DH over "menial" work at home, the need to take a break, etc., etc.

While poor, uneducated women have things particularly bad, please don't close your eyes to the fact that even privileged women have to face struggles that men do not. Most men I know do not seriously contemplate giving up their career to stay at home with the kids. Virtually all the women in my peer group (educated professionals) have struggled with this.[/quote]
