@mitchwas Not true. Many women are supporting and feeding their children. Maybe you would rather they take welfare checks and foodstamps?

[mitchwas]

women in business is proof that women hate family and children.

[TrynaGetBacToMyLuv]

I don't think it's necessary for both parents to work careers once they have children.They can but it's not necessary if a woman is making enough money to support the family then a father should lower his pride and stay at home with his children and vise versa but for men to act like they can't take care of their kids is not right.

Great video.

I actually lost my job because I was pregnant. So now I try to be very supportive and help the other women on my team.

I'm trying to carry things as far as I can.
