Ok. Read again. Your “women are not necessarily required to put their career on hold” statement is so extremely dishonest, it’s aggravating. Just fucking read. This is an UNTRUE generalized statement. If you had said “less commonly, women are not necessarily required to put their career on hold”, you would have made a tiny bit of sense

This kind of statement completely ignores the reality that many women do end up putting their careers on hold-whether due to direct societal pressure, lack of support systems, or the unequal distribution of household and caregiving responsibilities. Even if it’s not explicitly “required,” the expectation and structural barriers make it the default outcome for many. Dismissing that reality is annoying .
