I know I put myself up to this but I started to register myself into a bunch of online services to help me job hunt more efficiently. So far I've had 4 replies in the past weekend. Not bad considering how I started sending our resumes a week ago. So thanks to Monster Jobs, they signed me up for an online network for "career-minded women". Why does this label alone sound so hyper feminist? As if women need to have a social support group just to be accepted into the work field to separate themselves from being bullied by working men. Maybe they do, I don't know.
What I do know is that they question the women that put their career ahead of their families. Excelle posted a question in today's newsletter about whether or not women should have the freedom to freeze their eggs so they can prolong their career while they decide when they want to have kids without losing the eggs. Is this disturbing to anyone? Even if your eggs are "fresh" don't you think your aging bodies might not be able to compensate bearing a child? Doing that to yourself costs $20,000. You can store them until you're "ready to use them". There's something eerily unnatural about freezing your future kids like that. For the original link you can find it here.
