My wife makes considerably more than I did in my peak years before I retired. That's the kind of feminism that I like.

According to a remarkable thesis that has blown open the debate around feminism, sexism and the future role of women, a new generation of bright, rich professionals have broken through the glass ceiling and have nothing to fear from the men around them. They will be just as successful.

According to a remarkable thesis??!! Give me a break. What B.S. is this? I am supposed to stop, and believe that a, "Remarkable Thesis" is changing things for women?? This article is just additional reason not to buy or read anything that comes from the "MSM."

this new generation of 'go-getting women' who want high-powered, well-paid jobs

Being an old-fashioned guy I just don't want a woman who strives to be a man. The opposite would be men who strive to be the prettiest, best manicured, in the office. A lot of women looking for that?

It's late and I'm tired so, forgive me, but how does this kill off feminism? And aren't they about 20 years behind the curve believing that woman can't become CEO's and such? This glass ceiling stuff has far more to do with many women detouring their careers in order to bear and raise children than it does men keeping them out of the boardroom.

I also have trouble believing that, at 26 years old, a woman has solved these crises women always complain about. The biology clock has conquered many a headstrong lass who thought they had it all figured out.

Any advancement of women and minorities seem to threaten feminism and racism, respectively... That's why it's important for some people that women and blacks are 'oppressed' and 'left behind'.

Well, it's about time somebody killed it.

I'm due to have a grandson in July, and I want him to grow up in a world where men are not considered disposable (and unnecessary) commodities.

I pray to God that woman never has kids. You can't possibly work 70 hours a week and raise healthy, well adjusted, loved to pieces kids if you're never there except when they are in bed. I have a whole other view of success but then I'd be called old fashioned I suppose.

My 38 year old daughter works 60 hours a week most weeks, married, no kids, big house, and she is so frazzled she can't sleep when she finally lays her head down. I worry so much about what she's doing to her health. Her hubby is ticked. Even the two dogs are ticked. Where's the gain?

Others argued that there was still a glass ceiling blocking the path of young professionals. Jenny Watson, chair of the Equal Opportunities Commission, accused Wolf of 'painting a rosier view than exists of the realities of women's lives' and ignoring the difficulties many women face when trying to resume their careers after a break to give birth.

Relative incompetence and lack of commitment to one's job seem to be two of those "difficulties." I work with a few women who are in this situation. Their performance and dedication are subpar.

It is disingenuous for women to blame the marketplace for their inability to compete against superior workers.

This is something I have been noticing for a while, this company hires ALOT of kids fresh out of school, I think were taking on 25-30 in the over the next few months.

These young ladies are extremely aggressive, they are extremely cynical, they are extremely self-centered. They know what they want and they know they have to get it for themselves, kids and husbands will just waste their time and money. Their like little Gordon Gecko’s crossed with the politics of Eric Cartman and the two of them who report to me HATE feminists. Its kind of cute to a point.

But I don't want to be around them when they hit their 30's they will probably have become full fledged sociopaths by then.

I would never marry a woman who made more than me.

Chiara Cargnel works 70 hours a week and wants a "successful" marriage?

I work up to 60 but it's only because I love what I do.

Just speaking for myself, I simply don't have the time right now for a GF or "significant other". What makes her think she does? She really does "want it all".

Further down the article there's this intersting bit: the assertion that the prosepct of losing some of that high-flying income is forcing women to put off having kids. Forcing them. Uh huh. The only thing that will save the day is guaranteeing women that going on the mommy track won't hurt that income. Employers will have to cough up the cash so these poor dears won't have to make some tough choices.

So much for feminism.
