> And any woman with a professional job would disagree.

My mother is going to be 70 in a few weeks, she is a highly regarded teacher of English, and in her opinion, a lot of things have gone downhill since the 1970s, and especially since the 1990s, though obviously not all of them. So there is your counterexample.

People are complicated and stereotyping them (any woman with X) is bound to fail.




It goes without saying that there is an exception to every rule, and it's a strawman to assume that I believe otherwise. By "professional job", I should have qualified that I mean careers traditionally dominated by men (e.g. business, lawyers, doctors).
