Now see, this is why I have problems with women who have newborns and go back to work.
I’ve got the inside scoop. When some people say they want “equal treatment,” they’re not being truthful. Take it from a “double minority.” I know what I’m talking about. What they want is accommodation and special treatment. Like this woman.
She’s taking a medical licensing exam, which allows a total of 45 minutes for breaks. This chick, nursing her four-month-old, is suing the National Board of Medical Examiners for extra time to feed the kid and pump milk. This woman has already received special treatment. She’s allowed to take the test over two days, while everybody else gets only one day. Now she wants to expand break time.
*Sigh* Silly girls wearing stethoscopes. 
If she were an on-call surgeon required to drop everything and get to the hospital ASAP to perform emergency surgery, is she going to whine about pumping then? Who will she sue — the patient?
If we women want to be equal to men, we’ve got to roll with it, know what I mean? No extra time to get the job done. No dumbed-down standards. Equal means equal, gals.
If you’re a long-time reader, you probably know how I feel about working women with babies and small children. No doubt being a “working mother” is financially necessary for some women, but it’s still less than ideal for the kids. That’s why women should choose mates wisely and wait until marriage to have children. Do everything in your power to stay home and raise your children yourself and run your household yourself. Running an efficient household is a lost art.
Believe me, the “working world” isn’t going anywhere.
