You know, it used to be that if you were a woman who wanted to work outside
the home that you couldn't/didn't get married....

Then there was the generation who realized you could work outside the home
and be married, as long as you didn't have any kids.....

Then there was the generation who realized you could work outside the home
and be married and have kids, as long as you didn't have to breastfeed them....

Then there was the generation who realized you could work outside the home
and be married and have kids and breastfeed them, as long as you became
bonded to your pump and had a bf-friendly workplace where you could pump and
store your milk.

And next?  Hopefully the generation who realized you could work outside the
home and be married and have kids, and breastfeed them and not have to mess
with pumps because you either (a) had good maternity leave or (b) could have
your baby with you at work.
