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.

I don't know why it is, but it is. Maybe that women tend to be more aware of health, period. Women pushed and pushed so that now they get one annual regular doc PE and one annual gyn PE covered by insurance as well-care. Most men still don't go to the doc unless there's something wrong after their last school mandated physical. My husband, much as I love him, only considers my health when I make it clear I am feeling unwell - and then he is the most solicitous person on earth for my wellbeing - until I am well again.
