Its not a question of working/not working, but a question of priorities.
A woman's priority should be to raise her children and to take care of her husband. To be specific this involves cleaning, ironing, shopping, daily cooking, dealing with children's needs a lot more than the man does etc.
If she can finish these duties in say 20 hours per week, of course she can do whatever she wants with the rest of her time - open a flower shop, open a ballet school, do translations, work part-time, yoga, gym WHATEVER. Cleaning can be partly outsourced too I don't care (where I live its dirt cheap) so she can have more free time.
My problem is a woman who thinks her job (ie another man's business) is more important than myself and her children.
Examples of things girls say which get to me:
- we have a deadline at work tomorrow and will need to work later tonight
- we have farewell drinks of a colleague tonight and a corporate party on Saturday night. Need to buy a dress.
- I am too tired to do X
- I don't have time to do Y
- I am 22 years old and I just graduated university SO I will do a 4 years phd to become a Doctor of Victorian-era Literature or whatever bullshit by 26
- I love my career. Who will bankroll my lifestyle of €2.000-a-piece designer handbags if I quit my job?
