[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You cannot be a good mother and have a career. Sounds like you both have different priorities and it will never work. [/quote]

Oh, please! My mother had a very successful career and was a great mother. What really helped is that my father was very supportive of her doing what she wanted to do. He knew what her priorities were and trusted her. [b]She made some mid career pivots that slowed her career but were best for the family[/b]. [/quote]

Exactly. You are lying to yourself if you think there are no consequences to prioritizing your career.  A lot of these women chasing these jobs are unattractive to men because it usually boils down to ego and proving that you're "somebody."  Hard pass for must guys.[/quote]

Except that women with college degrees and more are more likely to married and less likely to be divorced.  So ambitious women are more likely to be married and stay married.

Those same women who are most married are also most likely to mommy-track. It is what it is.[/quote]

So highly educated women are more likely to be married and then mommy track.

Logic doesn't follow.  People on this board are claiming ambitious educated women can't find men, except, stats show these women are more likely to be married. You can claim a "mommy track" is a less ambitious doctor or lawyer, but that woman is still a doctor or lawyer, not a stay at home traditional mom.

Just pointing out people telling women they have to want to be SAHM to be married and have kids isn't supported by data. [/quote]
