This is further complicated by the responsibilities of motherhood which could mean disrupted work histories and more time spent in part-time jobs.
And I'm sure most women face those challenges, knowing those challenges exist and still opt for motherhood and career ..... and other women's lives end up that way if their husband becomes unfit for work, or redundant and they become the sole or higher earner...or single, divorced or widowed.
Other women enter professions nowadays ... or the civil service, become politicians, doctors. Women have as much get up and go as chaps and avenues to explore their own ambitions and talents.
To argue a case for poor oppressed women is a bit outdated now , at least in the UK and other developed western countries.
Everyone seems to want to have an axe to grind relating to injustice or something to blame which held them back in life.
In reality ... we probably all have one.
Life isn't fair. For anyone.
Oh, I've got to say it. All Lives Matter.
