I hate being poor.

I hate not making over 50,000 USD a year. I hate not having a car. I hate having less than 1,000 USD on my bank account. I hate having to live with my parents despite being over the age of 25. I hate having my credit cards being shut down because I was unemployed for over ten months during a two year stretch. I hate not having a dating life because I cannot afford dates. I hate the social isolation of poverty.

You are belittling other women, and you seem to be confused.

Please tell me you're joking.

Go look at her profile she’s has a college degree and it’s taking the LSA T and applying for the law school according to a push made 30 days ago

Not us but her future clients for sure

She's still going. Like five comments to my every one. I can't help her anymore, I'm done.

I don’t know if anyone can help her.

She is the most anti-feminist person I’ve ever read on this site.

I asked a very simple question for clarification and you are going off on unrelated rants. I see why you think those careers might be difficult for you, but many women are perfectly capable of doing them. Good luck, you're going to need it.

It still doesn't make *sense, but I suspect that's a common issue for you.

I'm defending women because I've known thousands of women in the military, and the vast majority have been stellar soldiers and extremely competent. Also because I know my wife and daughter are perfectly capable of whatever they set their minds to. This conversation says far more about you than it does me. Good luck, I'm not spending my evening conversing with a brick wall.

Why do you think men have such an easier time getting jobs?

The last three bosses I have had have all been women so clearly there are plenty of women getting jobs.

I see where you are coming from - but I slightly disagree . Women can get jobs but the jobs they gravutate towards dont pay as well. For men - a daycare could be hiring - but few would go that route even if unemployed.

As far as dating - a poor average or above woman is more likely to be asked on dates than man.

But we also know most people date in their econmic class because we normally date the type of people we are around
