[quote=Anonymous]It’s fair to say I’m disappointed in women in my age range and income bracket. I know so many acquaintances who just seemingly quit their dreams to pursue being moms, being on various board, honcho-ing husbands, attending galas.

I harbor collective feminine guilt over who you may have been? What you could have done, apart from being a great Mom, to contribute to society or have had a moment of extreme pleasure in the workforce when you just aced it at work after months of a grueling intellectual pursuit.

A moment where you were photographed, had skipped your Botox appointment, your grey hair of expertise was showing an 1/8 inch but you still managed to have had perfectly  manicured nails as you flipped through your life’s work or something less significant. You didn’t care about your hair, your kids in that moment. You knew it was a major achievement individually.

Men get this experience and raise kids. Women often don’t. And there’s plenty of brilliant women out there who’d be great additions to the workplace who deserve this life affirmation of their brilliant selves, apart from being great wives and Moms.[/quote]
