My gf is a career masculine women, here are some irks I have with her.
You will have a new girlfriend at some point. Those irks will get REALLY ANNOYING long term.
2). She has a hard time filtering work out of her personal life rather it be letting go of the stress or it being a common conversation topic
4). It is kind of sad watching her sacrifice her health and life opportunities for a corporation or career
Both of these are big problems. In #4, the sacrifices aren't worth it. Her current employer could ditch her at any moment. The typical boyfriend or husband cares more about the individual woman than some faceless corporate entity. A lot of corporations will do everything that they can to avoid laying off a woman but sometimes a company's financial outlook is so poor that they'll need to terminate some female employees. If a woman has a little bit more job security in her chosen profession (meaning she's likely not in sales/marketing/HR), she still gives a lot to her career. For instance,
@IKO69 mentions the occupation of physical therapist. It's pretty difficult for a physical therapist to get laid off, but a female physical therapist is likely to have a difficult time unwinding from work. She might be better about that than some women in business management roles or female lawyers, but still not as good a non-management, average performing job with just a basic job.
There are plenty of women with business, legal, or medical careers who have a difficult time shutting off work mode in their personal lives. This can make a poor impression on early stage dates. It's not only women who have advanced degrees who act like this. There are even some women with bachelor's degrees who are like this, Generally, this is worse for women with advanced degrees.
1). She always falls asleep at 8:30 or 9 on the dot due to work stress
This can happen. That will affect how much time you two can spend together and the quality of time spent together.
For certain occupations, yeah. My sister Camila has a post grad degree, she's a physical therapist. She was engaged during the program and married not long after, started her family. She was 26. My mother was very strict with her tho.
Highly educated and 30+ and single? Yeah probably an uber feminist
Many physical therapists end up marrying while they are in graduate school, which is probably wise for them since they have higher market value with just a bachelor's at that point in time, they are younger, and they have fewer responsibilities. It's a justifiable decision to cash out of the sexual marketplace then and hope that the LTR ends up working out. Without cashing out, the perception changes. A 30 year old physical therapist with no boyfriend on the open market doesn't have as much value because her hypergamy will demand a higher earning man and she'll be a less feminine woman with the baggage of an advanced degree and a demanding career. I believe that being a physical therapist is less demanding than a female MD, a female dentist, a female lawyer, or a middle/upper management business woman.
A childless, 30+ woman with an advanced degree and a white collar job who is on the open market is a big time feminist.
A childless, 30+ woman with only a bachelor's degree has less of a chance of being a masculinized woman and she probably didn't intend to become a careerist, unlike the woman with the advanced degree. Some of those women with bachelor's degrees who are 30+ had their relationships not succeed prior to age 30 and then eventually ended up by default developing a more masculine frame as they had to lean more into their career as their personal romantic relationship failed.
