Working at home is a job in itself whether people realize it or not. I just read an article about women picking jobs or relationships and many choose careers. It is really interesting so check it out at <a href="http://blogs.dailycents.com/?p=787" rel="nofollow">The Corner Office or a Boyfriend</a> I agree that numerous women want part time jobs who also work at home.

Make your damn choices and live with them. It sickens me that women and other whining minorities still demand that someone else pay for their damn choices. The boomer generation was bad enough but then they had to spawn the moist narcissistic 'i-want-my-cake-and-eat-it-too' generation of malcontents the world has witnessed. Thank god men (who still have their balls) have the common sense to stay in the workplace. And a far better workplace it would be if the self-absorbed harridans of the world would STFU.
