The blokes can't hack it so they blame women! PATHETIC!

Not sure you're being fair, T.  Having lived and worked in India and Nepal, where families are split up regularly (especially those whose parents work in government service), I am not sure that the growing pattern of both parents working is necessarily helpful.  A couple of years ago, I was approached about doing a job up in the North of Wales.  The assumption was that I would move there.  When I pointed out that my wife had her own business here in S. Wales and was - then - no more than 5 years from retirement, it put a completely different complexion on the issue as far as the person suggesting the opportunity was concerned.  They would pay for me to relocate, but not for me to travel back and forth to S. Wales, or help with rent on accommodation during the week.

I know of several other folk - both men and women - who have had to turn down promotion because it would have involved their moving a long way from home, and their spouse having to pack in their job.

I wouldn't therefore blame feminism, per se - but i would blame the currently popular attitude that says a mother who stays at home is an unproductive member of society.
