As a woman I've had friends, male and female, give their opinions of why I shouldn't build my company. Many of the conversations go back to the concept of I should be doing what most women my age do... get a great 9-5 job, meet a guy, and have a family. It's been hard and surprising to have very close friends, many who are very pro women's rights and liberal, express these view points. I would never tell any of these friends they were wrong to...get a job, meet someone, get married, and have a family. So friendships ended because of a lack of common ground.

I like the conversation you created though. It actually would have been easier if your comments were true.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
