[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having seen a lot of women step out of careers, my observations are:

- almost all were very happy to step out. They either did not have a career of which to speak. Or they were on the very early years of their careers before things escalated.

- But, to hold the moral upper hand, they all like to claim that they had 'big' careers AND they like to claim that leaving their career was not motivated by their own desires, and that it involved a lot of 'sacrifices.

- and they all seem to enjoy a lot of the perks of their hard working, high earning husbands.

So it seem bonkers to then turn around and complain and act like you aren't quite happy not working. [/quote]

Wow.  This isn’t what I have seen AT ALL.

I feel like the really bright, hardworking, likable young women end up working part time or taking a big step back after having children.

Pregnancy, labor, postpartum, breastfeeding are biological reasons but patriarchal setting is the major reason. [/quote]
