Re: Successful career woman = egomaniac and all things selfish
I didn’t misread what he wrote. I read it carefully. I did add the caveat that I wasn’t trying to misconstrue his intentions - I used it an example, which funny enough your post-script sort of validates. There seems to be an assumption that if a woman has a career and she’s good at it, then she has certain other bad qualities - and yes I see you wrote “in many, not all cases” as your own qualifier.
You’re saying a career woman defines herself as such - that’s not necessarily true. Other people might define her as a career woman, but it’s one facet of who she is. Here’s the flip side - if a man is a career-man and he’s succussful in his career, do other assume he has those same bad qualities or can he be both a good father and a successful career-man?
P.S. I had no intention to attack that poster, and if he feels that way, I will apologize in advance - I merely used it as a springboard for a conversation-starter.
