Women are convinced that men have it easy. It's not just words- they *really, really* believe men skate through life and look out for one another to make it easier for themselves so when they get equality they still believe they're being held back and want in on the secret, imaginary inner circle of men that look out for each other. It's only now that women are treated as equal as they ever have been are they learning about the drudgery of working life. In their narcissistic eyes the boredom of staying home and the work of taking care of kids is harder than any man sitting in a cubicle, working construction or typing on a computer. There is no convincing them otherwise. They will always believe this and always think there is still some secret inner circle they are not being allowed to enter. They believe this because that is exactly what they do when they get authority. They can't understand that sometimes life is hard and working sucks because all the propaganda of stronk induhpendent wahmen and bOsSlaDY! never tells them the truth. I've worked in a number of different industries and in every one of them the attitude of women is WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!!!!
