Now, it is frequently asserted that, with women, the job does not come first. What (people cry) are women doing with this liberty of theirs? What woman really prefers a job to a home and family?

When it comes to a choice, then every man or woman has to choose as an individual human being, and, like a human being, take the consequences. ↗
