Why NOT to Marry a Career Woman

[rm]

Meanwhile, there is this appalling/interesting slideshow on Forbes.com -- "Why NOT to Marry a Career Woman."

I'll reserve my commentary for a bit. I want to see you all duke it out.


Completely unrelated, but just as much up my nose: Ugh, I hate when gender norms amongst reenactors bite me. I'm just trying to avoid having to make my own breeches, but a woman? in breeches? horror! I may have to make my own. Am annoyed.

One of the great lessons of post 1950 advertising, it's possible to convince far too many men that their masculinity rides on purchasing your product. Since femininity is assumed to be innate in our culture, women get a slightly different message - to be loved or valued, they must purchase X product. It's difficult to say which is more destructive, my guess is both.

So true. So bloody true.

Both it is.
