I agree Beandog. No woman is forced to have a child or children and being a working mom is not a death sentence, geesh! Aren’t there a lot of working dads? What is with these women that cry and whine how hard it is to work and be a single mom? Tough! Too bad, that’s life. Been there, done that. It’s also wonderfully rewarding and satisfying taking care of the family, both at home AND financially. Ann may never know how that feels. So, she has no clue about how others may feel? Really? she has no friends or knows not one woman that works and raises a family too? I have never been abused but I can surely have sympathy and understanding for those who have. Ann is not saying she is average,,she says she has had a financial advantage. I just don’t buy into the division. Ann isn’t saying she is like the average woman, she is saying she has opinions and understands some struggles that many women have had. So what if she’s rich? That criticism just comes across as jealous and petty.
I will disagree as I've lived on both sides of the financial arena pretaining to woman, as well as married and on my own after I lost my husband.... The most you can do when wealthy is empathasize and help where you see the need. You cannot know womans plight until you've walked it...nor can you understand. But you don't realize this when financial issues are not an issue. You think you know and can understand...but you really and truly do not.
