saywhat? asked: Legal jobs such as factory working and illegal jobs like prostitution. Examples…
And what were the conditions of these jobs? Benefits such as specific opportunities and freedoms, and downsides such as specific threats and dangers.
Any sources would be helpful, too.
Thanks!

Lioness asked:
Some consider having stable job with a good dental plan, making 40K a year, a good career. Others consider making their first million and not having to work every day, a good career. Where does your definition fall? The same with marriage. And once you define them, is it possible to have both at the same time?

Fereshte asked: What do you think of a woman who either has a high-priority career or is striving for such a career? Or what do you think of women in highly competitive high-end careers? (Lets say doctors, lawyers, professors, CEOs, etc.)
Do you think any differently of women in these careers than you do of the men who work in them? If so, why?
And also, do you think any differently of mothers in these careers than you do of fathers who work in them?

Twilight asked: It’s the goal of equal opportunity law, a stated objective of the womens movement and most every branch of feminism. It has broad based political backing.
Yet, for all that, nobody seems to have a good description of what such a workplace would look like.
For example:
Would there be equal numbers of men and women?
What kinds of mechanisms might exist to resolve conflicts?
How would the issues of promotion and part time work be handled?
What do you think a workplace free of gender bias would look like in practice?
