...Perhaps this is a backward question; but must all women want both a career and family? If women deserve the right to pursue whatever vocation they want, then shouldn’t they be allowed to choose family over career? Should the girl who dreams of becoming a “homemaker” be forced onto the supervisory board of a company simply to fulfill some gender quota? No one seems to suggest such a thing. Yet the mothers who choose family over career are treated with a sort of disdain, as if they’ve been brainwashed by an ancient “mother myth.” theamericanconservative/the-problem-with-gender-quotas/ Researching gender quotas for a comparative politics assignment. Stumbled across this somewhat misguided article stating that women should have the option to choose family over career if they so desire, or to juggle the two. Wow American Conservatives, thanks for enlightening me that I have two whole options: career and family, or just family. This really widened my horizons! Oh and I shouldnt HAVE to be an engineer if I dont want to? Are you sure? Cool! I get to decide things! About my life! Who knew?!?! Really empowering stuff. I swear, the more patriarchal crap I read, the more feminist and grumpy I get.
