Hi, my name is Kimberly Blessing. I'm a computer scientist, Web developer, standards evangelist, feminist, and geek. This is where I write about life, the Web, technology, women's issues, and whatever else comes to mind.
Why You Shouldn’t Read Forbes
Because rather than look at ways that men and women can achieve equality in the workplace and in the home, they go and publish this: Why You Shouldn’t Marry A Career Woman.
First, any man that reads their infuriating headlines and biased factoids (note how many of the stats quoted also apply in the reverse) and doesn’t immediately think that this is incredibly insulting to both women and men should just go die. We don’t need any more people like you on the planet.
Second, any man that believes any of this crap is clearly a cry baby, lacking a spine, and is probably in need of serious psychotherapy. Stay away, ladies!
Third, any man that wants a woman who has no personal ambitions, who will spend all day catering to and cleaning and cooking for a man, and who will rear the children without the man’s involvement needs to invent a time machine and travel back a few hundred years!
Forbes, you’re all a bunch of fuckheads for even thinking of posting this crap.
P.S.: If you’re a woman that believes any of this stuff, snap out of it — it’s freakin’ 2006 already! Sheesh!
UPDATE (8/24/06): If you click on the above link, you’ll find that Forbes has pulled their original story and is redirecting readers to a new article, Careers and Marriage! I strongly suggest reading Rebecca Traister’s Salon.com article as a follow up.
