Chicken or egg? who knows but it is far too common to ignore.
Women get the shaft. And it ain't their fault it is the way it is. you can't have it all. or if ya do it is at a great price in some other regard.

I don't think anyone but you here is saying that women like the ones on this board get the shaft**. I like my life very very much (Then again, I'm white, reasonably wealthy and well-educated). I love my family, I love my boyfriend, I am very fond of my ex-husband, I have great friends and for a law job, mine is pretty good. When have I (or any of the chicks on the board) said that we are getting a raw deal?
You are the only one that is saying that we are lonely and bitter, and you are backing that point up with a generalization that all women who try to have a career are bitter and lonely, or pay some kind of price. Well, we are specific evidence to the contrary! Doesn't that make you happy! It does me.
Come on. Dig deep into that head of yours and come up with an insult better than the typical anti-feminist crap. It won't mean that anyone will like you, but you might gain a measure of respect.
**mmmmm, Shaft.
