[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have the daily delight of mansplaining. I am the lone token female in a sea of men.

We need more females. Many days it's a stampede of testosterone. Yes, I can handle simple division, but let's waste 10 minutes while you explain division.

It gets really lonely as you climb the ladder. Fewer women. I'm angry because there are so many capable women who gave up careers.

If you haven't been here, trust me, we are fighting a gender battle.[/quote]

I agree with this 100%. All the SAHMs who claim we're all so jealous that they run the PTA and work out - actually, our frustration with your choices runs much deeper than that.

Why do you think you get to choose other people's values so that they align with yours and make your life more convenient? Are you hearing yourself? [/quote]

Some of us have a greater view of the world than what's within our four walls.  No one's choosing values - we're asking you to acknowledge that your choices affect other women who choose to stay in the workplace and remain professionally valuable / viable.[/quote]

Sure okay. My choice to SAH gives  you a bit of job security I guess since I am not competing for your job. And feel free to drop your kid here anytime your childcare arrangements fall through but you need to get to work. Really, I do feel somewhat responsible to support working parents since I am able to do so. I am glad to know that I am having a positive impact at least in my community.
 I would feel like a jerk taking a job from someone who needs money more than I do and feels valued in the workplace. Now that I know I have some value outside of my four walls I actually feel even better about the choice I made to take care of my family and live according to my own values. Thanks![/quote]
