What is your opinion on the following question – do you want to work high powered 60hrs + per week jobs, or is it that you just don’t want to live in a society that makes it difficult for you to do so?

1. My opinion on the question is that its boring and doesn’t interest me.

2. Why does a job need to be 60 hours lol

3. I think that’s a very loaded question and it sounds like any answer a woman could give in response would be deemed wrong by the kind of person who would ask that.

4. I want a 4 day work week and a good work life balance. No interest in the amount of stress 60 hours a week would be. Can barely keep up with life stuff on 40.

5. Nobody wants to or has to work 60 hours.

6. I don’t want to work 60h+ a week and I also don’t want to live in a society where people are expected to work 60h+ a week. In fact that is illegal where I live.

7. If you need to work 60hrs or more per week, you’re clearly doing something wrong.
   Could be management issues, work efficiency or simply a lack of ressources to do the job correctly / on time.

   If society, here, means the company offering this kind of uncanny position, then obviously, anyone able to reason more than 2 seconds would deny such work conditions.

8. I want enough people in my profession so we don’t have to work any overtime.

9. I absolutely do not ever want that.

10. The question reeks of a pre-emptive conclusion of the answers.

    As for the answer to the question;
    I want to work in a job that I like and not be hindered by expectations or circumstances that prevent me from doing so. I don’t want to work 60+ hour weeks (and honestly don’t get why anyone regardless of gender would), but I don’t want to live in a society that makes it difficult for the people who want to work in those careers, regardless of gender.
