Are you a married woman with children, aspiring scientist who occasionally finds it difficult to achieve orgasm? You are less happy than your single counterparts, according to two recent studies from New Zealand and Australia.
The fact that women in traditionally male professions still have great difficulty balancing work and family life shouldn't come as any surprise. What is surprising, though, is how few women in science, engineering, and technology have kids or are able to find any balance once they do. I found it at once heartening and discouraging that the women of Australia face similar work-life balance issues.
And then the orgasm study, which found 56% of sexually active single women could reach orgasm easily, while only 24% of their married counterparts could. Interesting though this data may be, I think it's more a function of the age and stage of participants (ranging in age from 40 to 80) than any declaration about those damn husbands and their interference with sexual pleasure.
No one said being a married woman with children would be easy. But some days some of us wish it didn't have to be this hard.
