Hi, Carolyn: I was making small talk at work when a woman asked if I had children. I said no. She expressed pity that I hadn't experienced life's greatest joy and said she couldn't understand why women these days prioritize careers over family. She added that parenthood is a prerequisite for being a good manager since women without children lack the maturity necessary to lead teams.
卡罗琳,你好!当时,我们一群同事正在闲聊,一位女士问了我一个问题,"你有孩子吗?"我回答她,没有。她表示,太遗憾了,那将是你一生中最大的快乐。她说她无法理解为什么现代女性将工作看得比家庭更重。她补充道,为人父母是成为一名优秀管理者的先决条件,因为没生小孩的女性往往缺乏领导团队所需的成熟思想。
Carolyn, it wasn't my choice not to have kids, and this is a painful subject for me.
卡罗琳,不生孩子并非我之所愿,对我而言,这一话题非常痛苦。
In my 20s, I would have brushed this off and changed the subject, but now I am in my 40s struggling to save for retirement on a salary that falls far below that of my married-with-children peers in the same profession. I have been passed over even though I have always had outstanding performance evaluations. I am always expected to work overtime and take a hit for the team because I don't have kids, yet I am also resented and belittled for it.
