| − | When Bock discusses the topic of work vs. family, this statement struck me: "Obviously, men's work is valued more highly than women's work." I think this is sad. In today's world, women who have both a job and children are expected to be everything to everyone 24 hours a day. In addition to her responsibilities in the workplace, at home, a woman is the cook, maid, nurse, chauffeur, accountant, etc., and she is always on duty. Yes, the man may have a demanding job outside of the home for which he is paid, but the job of wife and motheris just as difficult (if not more) and should be respected no less. Many women do not have to choose between work and family because they are successful at both. | + | When Bock discusses the topic of work vs. family, this statement struck me: "Obviously, men's work is valued more highly than women's work."
