    Default Work Choices for Women

    From a US Census Bureau report....

    "The basic finding of this latest report — that the more choices mothers have, the more likely they are to work — has been known, to anyone who’s taken the time to seriously look into the issue, for quite some time now."

    "These findings, drawn from a new report by the Census Bureau, really ought to lead us to reframe our public conversations about who mothers are and why they do what they do. It should lead us away from all the moralistic bombast about mothers’ “choices” and “priorities.” It should get us thinking less about choice, in fact, and make us focus more on contingencies — the objective conditions that drive women’s lives. And they should propel us to think about the choices that we as a society must make to guarantee that the best possible opportunities are available for all families."

    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I read someplace that by the end of the year, there will be more salaried women working then men. I will try to find a citation. Bodes misfortune to the dancing world that is for sure.

    Already more women attend and graduate from law school than men. When I graduated from B-school just slightly more than half of my class were women. My MBA class was the same, just slightly more women than men. The company where I work has more men, especially among the older and higher paid employees. But of new hires, most are women.
