“Why do we resist giving help to homeless men? In part because we don't understand how our pressure on men to support families often forces men to take transient jobs that are but a step away from homelessness (the death-of-a-salesman jobs, the migrant worker jobs...) and in part because we respond differently to men who fail [than women who fail].” MenGivingHelpingJobsForceStepsSupportFailingPressureWorkersHomelessHomelessnessSalesmanTransientMigrantsGiving HelpMigrant Workers Book:The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex Source: The Myth of Male Power: Why Men Are the Disposable Sex

If they take their careers seriously, they are labeled as bad mothers. If they spend time with their children, they are labeled as people who can't be serious about careers outside the home.

“if networks of women are formed, they should be job related and task related rather than female-concerns related. Personal networks for sociability in the context of a work organization would tend to promote the image of women contained in the temperamental model - that companies must compensate for women's deficiencies and bring them together for support because they could not make it on their own.
