I have such a chauvinistic brother, not like I haven't known it all this while... Oprah's show today was on a tribute to successful women. One of them was a firewoman who leads the largest fire station in San Francisco. While they were presenting her profile, my brother asked "does she even have a family?"

To answer his question, Oprah said this firewoman was not only the number 1 woman in the fire station, but she also has 3 sons.

I questioned my brother in return. I asked him if he would have asked the same question if they were interviewing a man with the same achievements instead. He kept quiet. He believes that women will never be able to strike a balance with work and family.

I choose to defer.
