Hyperthread, I wrote this little article a year ago in my not so personal diary. I am excited to know that somebody came up with more research-based article on the same topic few weeks back. Suna, I am glad to know that at least you did not turn out to be a young teenybopper, however, your analysis lacks the maturity level that a reader of this thread would expect as in a counter argument. You too resorted to the same idea of "look at me". While myriad of reasons may be possible behind break-ups of a career women, majority of them boils down to "not having enough time for relationship/husband/spouse/kids". A super ambitious corporate lady would "tend to" enjoy camaraderie with CEOs from other fortune companies than staying idle with her husband/kids and society. While same may apply to men, they are, by nature, more inept as compared to women in handling the household chores and keep the family affinity going. This is a general trend, more so in patriarchal society and culture. Let me plagiarize a sentence from you: "I could go on but time is of the essence". =============== Mahakal, I do NOT welcome/appreciate any kind of foul language at least in this thread. Please bear with me. =============== Rythm, I have realized that I was a bit too harsh on you. I am sorry if I hurt you personally, that was not my intention. To others: I have a very high regard and respect for women. This thread is just completely based upon my own personal experiences backed up by some offending but real statistics.
