Women have it bad actually. They get the short end of the stick more often then not simply because if they want kids, they have to sacrifice a portion of their career to do it. A man doesn't need to take off work to carry around a 6lb parasite for a few months and then spend another 6+ months looking after the damn thing. All he needs to be is supportive and buy the mother shiny things occasionally to be a good husband.
Meanwhile the woman gets passed by in the corporate ladder or loses out on experience and opportunities. In the end, this results in lower pay, less opportunities for growth and a general hinderence to their career.
Yeah, women have a choice if they want kids. It's not feminism or mysoginy that holds them back, it's biology and the nature of the game.
What gets me is that people seem to have this notion that single, successful career women are lonely and unhappy. Nice way to buy into a stereotype.
Feminism is not the betrayer... all it claims is that women should have a choice, and they do. If they feel they didn't get everything and it's all feminism's fault, they are delusional, narcissistic and kinda pathetic.
Choices have costs -- can't have everything.
