This may be starting a new thread, but: Where would be the most popular place to hang your synthetic embryonic sack containing your clone?? In the bathroom, laundry room, on your bowflex that you never use?

Guys, you sound as if you just tolerate > kids, and not want them. >>>>>>> Yesterday a colleage of mine told about a (male) friend of his, presently working for a big investment firm, who will now head over to New York accompanied by his wife. Reason? The wife has landed a good job with some Wall Street firm so he’ll come over as a stay-at-home dad and look after the children, putting his own career on the back burner for a while. In any case it would be pretty useless if *all* women decided not to have kids, if done on a global scale. Admittedly it is very unlikely, but still a pretty virtiginous thought that mankind - has been around for millions of years - in theory could wiped out simply because of some people’s individual decisions during, say, a 45 year time-span… Edited: some spelling mistakes
Yeah, sooner or later they will start cloning babies, wives, you name it. Just don’t clone CFA’s, then were all in trouble.

Just be careful if your women makes more than you. Majority of the time, you’re going to lose some control, and just as easy as men, they can cheat as well if they are attracted to status and power (which you won’t have if being stay-at-home dad). Make sure she genuinely loves you.
And never ever sign the pre nup. Wha…What’s this?? Don’t you love me me?? Don’t you trust me??

I think for some positions keeping all things same women have an upper hand getting the position as firms want to maintain diversity. The point is that you would find fewer women with the required credentials/experience than men. For sales and trading there is some discrimination, but again I can say there is some reverse discrimination is nursuing/air hostess type position. And a lot of men would be happy to get such a position, although you won’t find them on this forum. > This thread is an example, as well as any other > thread in AF - someone is almost always attacked > for being a woman and/or objectified, which is > indicative of the real world except people will > not voice it as much as here. Not true at all- this is your perception. This happens only if women is pretty and guys do it out of jealousy. This can also happen if she is rude but guys are abusive to other guys as well. > This is not to mention the other “burdens” of > being a woman: > 1. It’s a sin if you’re not beautiful. People, > especially men, treat you like crap. I think this is your objective opinion. Guys chase pretty girls. If you aren’t pretty they wouldnot chase you, this doesnot equate to *treat like crap*. > 2. Double shift = work at home, work at work. Work > all the time. > 3.

I think one of the factors is less networking opportunity at higher end of hierarchy, for women inside the firm. When people are at partner level, then they are extremely cautious about any stupidity which might derail their career, things like allegation of sexual harassment. It’s just crazy in workplaces, if you are found having a coffee with a female colleague, you can be easily sacked for sexual harassment if the women complains about it. On the other hand, dudes can network deeper and more closely with other dudes, so it’s easier for them to find their mentor and sponsor. Recently, I heard such a case at a reputed PE firm, a guy got sacked for sexual harassment because he just asked one of his female colleague for a beer after office hours (although, pretty much stupid), she wrote that in his review, instead of promotion he got screwwed. My friend there tells that, now no one wants to be spotted even having a coffee or any sort of informal meeting with a female colleague, that equates to comparatively much lesser networking opportunities for females.

The other side of coin where women are posting about discrimination. Just see the amount of power they have.
