According to this SMH article women prefer to quit work and become housewives if they can.
Well no shit. That was bloody obvious. I think most people would prefer to stay at home and / or something that they like and find interesting without the pressure of that something needing to generate enough income to support you. Most of the people who tell me to simply go do “something I like” are women. But then they are invariably supported or plan to be subsidised by partners / family to enhance the income they get from their oh so fulfilling roles. So to those people with that advice to me, STFU. You think that it hadn’t crossed my mind before, or that I am not currently looking out for easier / better paying roles to allow me more free time or to gain financial independence faster? The thing is, finding something like that is hard and I don’t have the luxury of the option to marry up. Well I guess I do, but it’s pretty fucking unlikely. Just like I theoretically have a chance of striking it big in a jackpot win. So if you bring up the subject of work with me and ask me if I’m happy with it, prepare to get a genuine answer from me. Life is not always rainbows and unicorns. Sometimes people don’t like what they are doing but they have to do it anyway at least for the time being. You don’t have to try to enlighten me with your wisdom, and improve the situation for me, actually I would rather you kept your “oh why don’t you do something you like?” shitty simplistic suggestion out of the discussion. End of rant.
I hear ya~
Aii
True words are often not beautiful, just as beutiful words are often not true.
People who give that sort of bs advice are usually people who married rich so they can afford to fuck around.
Well I say, good on you for finding someone rich, but don’t rub it in our faces.
