[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very true and I have a super hard working husband who cooks and cleans. Even still, the majority is on me and it’s like he’s my 2nd in command. I have to make the major decisions- decorating, where to vacation, packing, buying anything for the kids, gifts, all the Christmas magic on and on. Some are fun, but sometimes it gets to be a drag and they do add up time wise. [b]And at work, I see it too that women pick up the slack for men.[/b] So it’s not just a game they play for their wives. I don’t think men can truly juggle 100 plates in the air like women. Oh and were expected to be in shape while looking hot doing it all. There’s a lot more focus on women than men in that respect too.

Still wouldn’t want to trade being a woman for being a man. [/quote]

This is so true. And I work in a male-dominated field. Women are not the ones getting promotions and big salaries, but we are the ones who pay attention to detail, learn and remember how complicated technical things work, know who talk to to get something done, etc. And yet, god forbid I suggest a new idea to my boss - he will shut me down and ignore my idea until a male colleague repeats it. I go between fury and not having enough energy left to care. [/quote]
