I have never had a career. I was working when I met my husband, but it was just a retail job. It was very easy to walk away from, and as soon as my husband and I were engaged, with his permission I quit.
Careers are overrated. Unlike a husband or children, they don’t love you back. You are always replaceable at work, but you are not replaceable to your family. Careers can be fun depending on what they are and who you are, but a hobby is also fun and won’t eat all your time.
Careers don’t make women more motherly or better wives or more beautiful. They lead to stress and masculinity. It’s difficult to tap into femininity in engineering or customer service or law.
Why push our daughters into careers? I’m not saying to prevent her from it if she wants to have one, but stronly encourage your daughter to put away her career when she marries.
Rather than focusing my energy on a career, I focus on home, family, creativity, and the radical softness of femininity. Radical softness isn’t possible in the workforce. The workforce is a masculine space.
