Re:Women want to have it both ways

On: IT and Divorce?

Thanks for that nugget of unadulterated brilliance. What a relief that nobody expects women to be busy little yogurt-eating child-safety-obsessing supermoms who effortlessly balance their sex life, kids, and career. Why does society always hand men such a raw deal? Sorry, but "I bring home more money" doesn't justify inadequate attention to the family. You've noted the (decreasing) phenomena that more women discontinue full-time work after kids. Perhaps this isn't due to laziness, or the inherent desire to sit back and watch men suffer through the workplace. Perhaps it's because many women realize that maintaining a house, raising kids, and fulfilling any other commitments actually constitute a full-time job unto themselves, albeit unpaid. And if you think it's societally rough being a father accused of neglecting his kids, try facing that accusation as mother. I'm all in favour of sociopolitical griping, but at least give a nod to both sides, as well as the varying causes for your observed phenomena.
