successful women

Re: successful women

but he also said that a career woman can’t or won’t give as much importance to her family/kids/husband
which is flawed and you can’t generalize about all woman like that about any issue. to that i was saying this:

where is CM btw :hmmm:

Re: successful women

**‘The study was based on interviews with 3,800 couples who were questioned repeatedly over an eight-year period in the British Household Panel Survey’
**
yet ur trying to say attitudes suddenly changed so drastically within just a year or two afterwards??

If u do a search u’ll find the research I quoted was also mentioned in the Daily Mail in another story..

If u had read my post properly I did acknowledge there was contradictory research, not that there was just one side to the story (which there obviously isn’t)..

Don’t know what ur trying to prove by trying to make out that the source u gave must somehow only be the correct view.. Sit here and pick at it all u like it it won’t change the fact that there are differing results from different researchers (some anti-feminist like urs, some anti working mothers and some totally neutral)..

Re: successful women

Negative. I did not say that. I stated openly that is how people define a "successful career woman". Doesn't mean I agree with it. But that is how it is defined. A successful woman is defined by a career not by her family and kids. The sad fact is that it is a very idiotic notion.

Sadly not a single guppan to date has realized that. You can be a successful woman even without a job. Why must a job define if a woman is successful or not?

This is Diwana all over again.

Re: successful women

You calling me Diwana? YAY! i am just like my mentor!

Re: successful women

Not you bro. I agree with you there.

Re: successful women

:wink: :wink:

Re: successful women

which people have defined a successful career woman as this though? i haven't come across a statement by a woman saying this. my mom was a housewife but she also worked part time in a few gaps of her life. she's a great mother and is a success as a content human being and she's my hero, i know loads of full time career women that are able to handle both job and family and they deserve just as much respect for being passionate about both.

i think the definition of successful is happy and feeling fulfilled

where are these people that assume such extremes about women(full time stay at home or career)

Re: successful women

How am I like diwana? I quoted a source and u just picked at it, refusing to take it seriously (when common sense says in these issues it's likely to be the 'middle ground' which is correct).. *At least I acknowledged there were two sides to the story, *which is the truth, unlike you..

**And Nomi, u've started threads in the past against working women so ur hardly objective..

Re: successful women

Booo....I don't like you anymore :( sniff snarf

Now Nisha before women having jobs what defined a Successful woman? Nothing because the term did not exist. The term started to take root when women joined the work force actively and worked at equal footing as men. That is how the term evolved and all women who have posted so far have taken that definition.

The argument is why can't they have both? Sure they can. But the only thing that the men are saying is that the definition of a successful career woman is not defined by her job. A housewife can also be a successful woman.

Oh yeah they are also saying we aren't intimidated by successful women like the women are saying. My sister works, my mom used to work. All my female friends work. I will marry a woman who works but she has to have her priorities straight.

Re: successful women

I never called you Diwana. I said the nature of this debate is like the ones that people have with Diwana.

Its a circular argument. Nevermind.

Re: successful women

but if you look at my first post i saw a housewife as successful if she was happy and confident and felt fulfilled and there are many housewives that are like that but there are also those that might feel like they are in a rut to those a part time job might be more fullfilling or an online business or any activity that enriches them

a job can also be a source of enrichment for a woman just like it is for a man. it's not about gender equality

Re: successful women

It’s not circular. It’s ahmkana. Sheesh. :smack:

Re: successful women

And most women will not call her successful. She would not be considered emancipated or liberated because he works at home with the kids.

Re: successful women

oh lord, which "most women" are you talkin about....i haven't come across a post by a guppan that says this and if there is a stray post, she's in the minority for sure. it isn't as simple as you make it out to be.

Re: successful women

Life is simple. Women complicate it. That is why you were created :smiley:

See any woman define a successful woman different than I did? Nope. So they accept it.

Cupcake quiet. I am so not talking to you after what you said. :snooty:

Re: successful women

or men complicate things by making assumptions about what most women think :stuck_out_tongue: like you just did

Re: successful women

Show me one guppan who defined successful women differently than I did. You don't count as you agree with my original post. Hell even Sehrysh tries to do so with career and successful but does little more.

Re: successful women

i’m tired :hinna:
