Re: successful women
You must realise that I am not saying career-women make inferior house-wives. I don’t believe in that kind of flawed thinking. Also, the OP is incorrect in assuming success means a career. CM rightly pointed it out in his response.
A relevant study that some might be interested - Feminist Myths and Magic Medicine. The author is a very esteemed Psychologist and celebrity in her own right; Catherine Hakim. This particular report talks about various Feminist Myths and debunks them. Also there’s plenty of news articles on this topic, we had a thread a few weeks ago too IIRC. Most women prefer a balance but given a choice they would opt to stay at home.
Personally I am all for gender equality but I do believe in gender roles to a certain extent(Once a couple has children). I never said I was against career-women. Just the definition of success. I totally admire women who do get out there and do their thing. No one is calling it a black and white issue. A woman can be a successful either way.
