Very strong article.Great topic. Well researched. Enforced with a interesting study. It made me think. Men and women are not often in comparable circumstances. It may not be fair but it is reality.

There is obviously something so wrong that no man would marry her right? WRONG! Women are unfairlty scutinized for choosing a career over family. We are not in 1953 anymore. Women are out of the kitchen and into the Supreme Court!
