Statistics hide the raw numbers and emotional reality.

30% is how many people?

What’s their schedule look like if they have kids too?

Of course believing that inherently threatens your status.

This site should best stick to discussion of technology. Whenever social topics come along, the community quickly reveals its ignorance of reality for the majority, and knee jerk defense of its status quo
