Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage and a career.

Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage

Summary

This quote highlights the prevailing gender bias in society. It suggests that while mothers often face scrutiny about balancing their family life and career, fathers are rarely questioned about the same issue. This quote exposes the double standard and implies that societal expectations place a heavier burden on women to negotiate the demands of both marriage and a career, while assuming that men naturally handle these responsibilities well. It calls attention to the need for equal consideration and questioning of fathers' abilities to balance home and work.
