jackofallgeeksI'm marking This Article, which broaches the subject of working women who are less-than-thrilled with their position of breadwinner, mostly because I'd like to come back and chew on it a little more.
For the sake of full disclosure, I have my own biases and opinions concerning men and women, and what their proper roles might be. That's not to say I think all women ought to be barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, but rather that I think men (as men) and women (as women) are designed in such a way, hardwired, with different sets of proficiencies. Personally, as family-oriented, affectionate, and aware of others as I tend to be, I don't think it's in my nature the be the nurturer in the relationship. I'm not built like that. of course, I allow for variations; there are examples of men who are better built to be care-providers, and women who are less-so (and a whole host of other shades), but I think there's default configuration that most people fit.
Which, I'm afraid, is a socially-unpopular position to take (by far not the most socially-unpopular opinion I hold, though) and also one of the opinions I share with a great many ignorant, backwards whatever-you-want-to-call-thems, but...
