What a sexist, Alpha male jerk. This is just the type of flack and noise that women have to put up with all their working lives. I work for money. Money = not living outside and not being beholden to someone else. I'm with my husband because I want to be and not because I have to be and I have the money to back up that statement. Oh and I might be pretty, but I'm there to do a job, not be someone's visual eye candy.
That your co-irker doesn't have a clue that this is out of line in 2016 is also disturbing.Quote
Some people were discussing "Feminism" (NOT in a positive light, trust) - and some guy said he didn't want his wife working because it was bad enough that he had to go out and 'do battle' amongst the shifty biz types and he didn't want her 'exposed to that'. And then he carried on with saying how ~ I forget the particulars but along the lines of how 'she was innocent' and how great it was (for him) to have 'pure love like that'.
Oh yes, these Og types love it when women are "innocent" and "sheltered" because they can't run away. People who have the means to run away if necessary don't have to put up with shit. They can make statements like, that is not acceptable. These Og types want to go back to the 'good old days" when a woman couldn't own property in her own name, have her own credit or money. It's not a good deal for the woman when Og decides he wants to trade up to a worldly, better looking woman down the line.

Well, got my second "bingo" from my little sisters. She means well, just sees things through the lifescript. I was talking with her about the Fisher-Price Western Town I have in our attic. It's pretty cool-bendy jail bars, "breaking window", a bank you can break into, plus a really cool stagecoach. I told her that even though I wasn't having kids, I still wanted to keep it as an adult, just because of how neat it was. She responds with, "I know you don't want kids now, but that's the way it kinda goes." Well, that pissed me off. Again, she's not being malicious, so I didn't wanna nuke her, but I had to deal with this. I told her that most people have kids because "Durr, he's doing it, I should do it, too." Hell, she even mentioned that insipid State Farm commercial. I responded by saying that he was a moron who let things happen to him, and let his wife "oopsie" him into parenthood. In short, she still thinks people have kids because it's a "part of life", not because they're morons who are too stupid to plan for or avoid a massive responsibility like childrearing. I let it go, but it still frustrates the hell out of me. I told her I saw parenthood as nothing but thankless drudge work, and that I prized my freedom more.

Men, they can be work or not, that's debatable, it depends on the person. And / or - as with anything else - watch your step and choose wisely. Kids? ARE work. There is no debate about that. ARE work.
So yeah, an intelligent person is going to consider their WORK options carefully - and plenty of people with half a brain are going to take a pass on UNPAID work.

Unrelated to the girlfriend issue, but there are now tablet-sized light therapy units which might help if your depression has a seasonal component and you cannot afford traditional light therapy.
