Powerhouse

I read this on a blog today:

"I’ve yet to be on a campus where most women weren’t worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I’ve yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing."

I'm not going to even try to delve into the career/household issues facing women because this isn't women's studies 419.

But, I do think it's god awful that women have to constantly battle work, children, and matrimony. It's not enough to be a powerhouse in the workplace. It's not enough to raise your kids. It's not enough to be a good wife with an oversexed hubbie.

No, no, no.

Right after you pop out the baby, go hand your boss that report and then go home and cook for your dinner. Then, do a little dance called the horizontal tango with him.

I think all men have to do is work and think about food.

And, it's not enough to say "Oh, I'm going to stay home and raise my kids and not work" or "Oh, I'm going to put off kids and marriage for awhile and focus on work." Nope. You better be doing everything or your addition to society is minimal.

Man, I don't care how you slice it. Women could take over the world. Do what you do and do it well, ladies.

And, to refer back to the quote I began with: If you're in college, no need to worry about marriage. You better worry about getting a job in this economy.

Love freely,
