I saw a couple of TV interviews this weekend with a reporter/writer named Katty Kay. What caught my ear off the bat was a statement she had made about how women are beginning to wake up and see there are differences between men and women and in what each sex finds important.
I was hoping that maybe here was another well spoken woman who gets it. She mentioned taking time for the kids and having kids and being a homemaker are and should be important to women today. She even said something about how women are waking up after 30 years and seeing that they have been imprisoned. So far so good then came the punch line.
It seems her opinion is that now is a good time for women to negotiate four day work weeks, or day care at work, or no overtime. Her opinion is that since employers can't reward employees with bonuses and higher pay they may make adjustments for women to stay in the workforce and still become happy mothers or whatever they wish. She went on to comment on how women have become engineers, doctors, pilots what have you and are taking up valuable spots in the world but then leave to become mothers. Her plan is that now once again women should have their cake and eat it too and be able to still take up these valuable positions while allowing these women to also fullfill their other wishes and keep that position from being filled by a man.
I should have seen this coming now the feminists are demanding better than equal treatment on the basis of gender differences not that there are none.... Guess those differences matter now if they can manage to get even more for them.
