boat jason married met panama people walk wedding

The point of the feminist movement wasnt simply to set our underwear on fire and muscle into small spaces in the male-dominated workplace, but to create a world where the contribution of both sexes was equally valued and no ones worth was judged on their take-home salary.
baby thinking careers
Having a baby is a disaster for your career. I don't think there's any sympathy.

Like cars, every relationship requires a bit of an occasional service, and fine-tuning should be compulsory.
