Once again, the females do not like/want to work while carrying a baby, and women also seem to earn less and progress in their job slower than men.

Why? it just doesn't seem fair that in a game that this real life inequality persisits.

Women do not earn less than men. Mine have been promoted and completely dominated the man's earnings.

I have had a women give birth to 2 kids and is still further along in her career than the guy, who just seems to want to sit around and play video games.

I think you are going off a bit here. In one of my families, my female earns almost twice what the male does, simply because she's got a higher paying job. In the other family, the pay is the same, because the jobs are very similar. As far as the baby goes...umm...would you want to work when you are carrying around a baby for 2 years? Come on, lighten up. It's a GAME!

the women can still collect and sell collectibles while they are carrying around a baby.

LOL Gamey, I have had the same thing happen. The girl is much further along than the guy. He loves to play games too, but his favorite thing seems to be weighing himself & admiring himself!

Actually, the nursing moms will do any and all of the housework, including repairs. They don't progress on their careers, true, but my women seem to have more work ethic when they are not nursing and have passed their spouses in promotions. I thought that LDW did an excellent job of portraying the way it is with a lot of women who choose to have children.

And, before you say real life inequality, remember that many women choose to stay home with kids, and many others who would in a heartbeat if it were at all possible financially. And with still others, they would prefer to work, but would pay more for childcare than they could possibly make. In real life, it is a very complicated situation and kudos to LDW for trying to find a balance in a game that many cannot make in real life.

Kudos to you, knksmiles, for saying that so well! *claps*

narcissism at its worst... or best???...

Nice reply

I was talking about careers mainly. But yes the women do do housework (more often than men do it - if men do it at all without prompting from me, and it is unpaid work at that).

But I had two marry who worked at the same job - the woman was paid less (even though she was the one that I adopted first and rejected three other proposals before she married him)- even though they did not have a child yet, the man was promoted faster - overnight while I was away, he got promoted to level Three (two levels) while she was still in the early stage of level two. I have praised her while working the same as I have praised him.

To those who commented about the women earning more than men - I will mention again - it was not equal pay for equal employment. Even in the jobs where they women were earning more, the men still get promoted faster, the women do a larger majority of (unpaid) housework.
