And what do you think about the ones that just stay silent ? Every time it comes up ?
Just wondering, as I've noticed someone in my life is always entirely silent when these convos come up.
How would you feel about someone like that ?
A couple of examples that have come up :
- mental load being all on the woman a lot.
- housework being a woman's problem a lot to the time.
- at work, taking maternity leave and having kids often hurts a woman's career.
- working from home, isn't good for women as a whole because it means a lot to women pick up even more housework and tend to work from home more to ferry kids around, this in turn hurts their careers etc.
- being the default parent.
- workplaces not being set up for parents in general.
- women's health problems being largely ignored. Women being told to suck up extreme period pain for example.
- when women show emotion, being branded as hysterical etc etc
These are just some conversations that have come up around another woman I know ( no kids yet ). Other women have agreed / disagreed or engaged on the topics. This person stays entirely silent.
