I'm not operating under any assumptions, although you are.

Surely you're joking? If not, do you have some hard data to back up that ridiculous assertion?

I firmly believe she is the opposite of a hardcore militant feminist.. instead of hating men, she hates women.

I understand and to some extent, agree.

You're exactly right. I just finished a book by Pat Conroy (author of "Prince of Tides") about a year he spent teaching on a barrier island off the coast of South Carolina during the late 60's or early 70's (I've already forgotten ;) Anyway, the island was populated almost entirely by very low income black people, and the only other teacher on the island was a black woman who bought into every negative stereotype about blacks that ever existed. She was essentially a black white supremacist. Op123's posts are strikingly similar.

Considering I'm early retirement age, I don't think I have anything to worry about, lol. I'd say that's about the cut off but it depends on why you're quitting. If you're quitting to not work, then you send the message that moms can't handle working. If you're quitting for another job, you're just like any other worker, male or female, who quits to take another job. Since there is no event, like giving birth, that precipitates quitting, there's really no stereotype to reinforce.

No, as an engineer. My womanhood has nothing to do with being an engineer. I would, however, have felt I was doing other women an injustice to just quit after fighting my way into the profession. If that's what I planned to do, I wouldn't have bothered with engineering school.

lol, THEY DO. When events like childbirth, precipitate a large number of females quitting, they care. Female=high risk of quitting mid career when that happens. They also care when the lose good workers to other companies/jobs/careers.
