Must have missed something

When I was at school, we had a career library.

It had prospectus's for all UK universities, information on any career imaginable and then some on others perhaps not quite so imaginable. All the information anyone could possible want was there. Except no-one ever told us the truth.

Not once did anyone point out that although women can enter pretty much whatever field they want to, they still have to do the housework at a weekend.

I don't remember in those "you can be whatever you want to be" talks anyone saying that I would still have to clean, cook and wash clothes.

I must have dozed off.
