Don't Marry Career Women!! An Interesting Article

[Khayr]

In other words, a good marriage is associated with a higher income, a longer, healthier life and better-adjusted kids.

It is a Social Status issue. Why else would same-sex marriages be a hot socio-political topic in some countries?

 

If people were to be educated about the content of this article in classrooms, then a new process would begin. A process of 'desacralizing' the concept of the 'working women' otherwise known as 'Dual Income Households'.

Tenacious, career women aren't my type anyway, so I won't break a limb being left out of the high list of approaches

 

 

Bilan.

 

The article has its value. For instance, I wasn't expecting western liberals and beliviers in absolute materialism to question their fundamental tenets (money and power) because of a prevalent social ill they are struggling with. We may or may not share any of their problems, at least as far as I know about somalis, but nonetheless a worthy article.

from the article;

A word of caution, though: As with any social scientific study,

it's important not to confuse correlation with causation

. In other words, just because married folks are healthier than single people, it doesn't mean that marriage is causing the health gains. It could just be that healthier people are more likely to be married.

Why is a fat pay packet still a feminist issue?

Career women are under fire again

 

 

Ladies, do you work fewer than 35 hours a week and earn under £20,000? Do your ambitions stretch no farther than fashioning nosegays and owning a self-squeezing mop? Then celebrate with a sniff of the fabric conditioner: this is your lucky day. It turns out that you are prime wife material. A man is advised to marry you because you are a safe bet. You won’t ever emasculate him by bringing home a fatter paypacket, you’ll never wonder if there’s more to life as you sit at home all day with the kids picking mashed banana from your eyebrows, and you won’t be unfaithful because, guess what, you’ll never get the chance.

This, at least, is the theory of the man at Forbes whose article on the subject has caused a furore in America. Career women, he says, make bad wives. They are more likely to stray, more likely to divorce you, less likely to have kids and be more unhappy about it when they do get round to producing your heirs. “Guys: A word of advice,†the author Michael Noer says. “Marry pretty women or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Blondes or brunettes. Just, whatever you do, don’t marry a woman with a career.â€

 

 

 

Want to know how he defines a “career woman� It’s a female who has a university degree, works more than 35 hours a week outside the home and makes more than £20,000 a year. Yes, that means you, you ball-crushing grade II civil servant. According to the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings published this week, it would also include a clergywoman, a librarian and a dressmaker. Have these women no shame? And what hope is there for the marriage of high earners such as J.K. Rowling and Cherie Blair?

 

Drawing from various social studies, Noer maintains that “career†women are privately unhappy when they earn more than their husbands. And when they do have jobs the “chances increase that they’ll meet someone they like more than youâ€. Better to keep them locked in the home smoothing away your insecurities, preferably wearing a scold’s bridle. That way you can be sure they will never experience a moment’s unhappiness.

 

There’s more. A husband married to such a shrew should expect that his house will be dirtier. This, apparently, is because there is less “labour specialisation†when both spouses work, by which Noer means that the man does the paid work outside the home and the woman does the unpaid chores within. The Nobel laureate Gary S. Becker agrees that without this division of labour, more marriages end in divorce.

 

Haven’t these men ever heard of hiring a cleaner? What about the mountains of research showing that money problems are a huge contributing factor to divorce? If both spouses work, money is less likely to be in short supply. And surely men are more likely to remain stimulated by someone who has her own independent work life than someone whose idea of conversation at the end of the day is: “Have you noticed I’ve washed the bath mat?†Oh, but what’s the point?

 

It is 20 years since Newsweek ran its seminal cover article stating that a single, white, college-educated woman of 40 was more likely to be killed by a terrorist than to marry, giving rise to many terminally single protagonists such as Bridget Jones and Ally McBeal. Earlier this year Newsweek retracted the article but the damage was done. The sport of baiting working women had been born. Two decades on and nothing has changed.

Good article. There is only one right place for a man: beneath a woman.

On a brighter note of course, there are alot more terrorist attacks than there were 20yrs ago (if the stats still hold true).

Wat's wrong buddy. Da gal likes being on top

[Nephissa]

After repeatedly being told Nin ku guursanaa ma heleysid I've found myself having to downplay what I do for a living so I can avoid uncomfortable situations, ie; bruising some loser/guy's ego .

[Xoogsade]

^ waa is faanisay cambaro-bishy. I am just curious about what you do for a living. It must be something out of reach for the average Faraxs like me.

[Khalaf]

^^^Come on man! No woman is out of reach….all it takes is patience…….they play hard to get….but with right kind of skills u can break um down! :cool:

No is-faanis there, really. I'm usually not one to brag, but many people who hold the same position that I do are in their 40's. So here is a little young me kicking @ss when it comes to "what I do for a living" ( in which I'm not willing to share it here in the public eye, for I could be harrassed or stalked ) and sadly that's the worst conceivable insult to the male ego, I also noticed it's not only cause of my career, but also because I'd rather do things my self. From fixing a leaking toilet ( no I'm not a plumber ) , to changing a flat tire.

 

So guess my point is that, my only shot to get a Farax like you is to pretend to be needy, emotional, insecure, and all the other crap you men love us to be. Been ku soo xaree, run ku dhaq, bay sheekadu maraysaa. We're beating you at your own game saaxiib, Haweenkii turub baray!

Looking at your coworkers, Ms. "little young me", could give you a glimpse of how you will be when you're in your 40's.

 

And yes, you are one to brag. :rolleyes:

Atheer, with the speed I'm going, I'll either retire before 40, or become the VP.

[rudy-Diiriye]
