Remember when Forbes.com warned you to stay away from marrying a career women? Well, it seems they’ve now decided to rectify this error against sexual egalitarianism—by advising women how to avoid paying too much attention to their careers.
That may not be the explicit theme of the series of articles Forbes.com is running under the headline Life-Work balance. But look at the evidence: the series is edited by two guys, and all but one of the articles is written by women. Even more: most the people quoted in the articles seem to be women. (We’ll admit, we only skimmed them and then sent them to Bess.) You get the point: chicks explaining why they don’t work much to their male bosses.
The most unfortunate thing about the series, however, is not the part about putting women back in the kitchen. It’s that the article on “How to Say ‘No’” is not about how to be less slutty in the office. Because Lord knows we need to read something like that around DealBreaker. Fast.

Your second sentence needs a “too” not a “to”… bloody yanks
Quite right. You would think English is a foreign tongue to them. Actually, come to think of it, for a growing number of ‘Americans’ English IS a foreign tongue…!

by advising women how to avoid paying too much attention to their careers.
There actually is a “too” there. HTML demons seem to have stolen it.
copy and paste or “view source” and see for yourself.
Women who work are at a much greater risk of infertility, spinsterhood, and beard growth.
