wow. can't wait to read some of the backlash on this.
so surreal i'm suspect that it might be a joke! it must! mustn't it?
dirty house = duh.
I am waiting eagerly for part 10 of the slideshow to conclude, "Men who don't do an equal share of housework and parenting when their wife works make their wife divorce them (if she's smart.)" Feminism as a movement may have gone wrong by focusing so intensly on work, because marriage and motherhood are where the biggest inequalities are today.
fantastic article. Thanks for that link.
I love how they point out that women working longer hours is positively correlated with divorce, whereas men working longer hours had neutral results.
Michael Nower did not consider that marriages where the man works and the woman doesn't last because the woman says to herself, "how can I leave when I've set my educational goals aside and have nothing to put on my resume?"
Could it be this article was written "tongue-in-cheek"? Maybe?
File not found. :(
i thought this article was just pitifully stupid when i went and read it. any man who takes it seriously and literally deserves what he gets, and i don’t know any “career girls” stupid or patient enough to want a relationship with someone like that. it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy. but people are right to be indignant at forbes (and i didn't think the rebuttal was *that* brilliant either). presumably, SOMEWHERE there are “career girls” who actually subscribe to it, and if they really want to make a point, they should not only call and complain, but cancel their subscriptions. not that those women are necessarily going to be reading your blog or my comments on it, but hey, it’s just a suggestion.
on a related note, the outdated terminology that has always bothered me is that the media has continued to use the word “student” to refer to MALE students, and use the word “co-ed” to refer to female students. and it’s not even just for porn- i’ve seen it in regular newspapers!
aren’t we all just students? it is a throwback to times when it was unusual for a school to be co-ed, or for women to pursue higher education in general. ironically now, there are more female college students in the US than males, or so i’ve heard. yet they’re (i’m finally done, so i don’t have to write “we’re”!) still considered the anomaly…or the interlopers.
blech!
