TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Ah, this is a sticky wicket. As a single man, I do
not mind married couples or single parents who get day
care or time off for children-related activities. I
support such benefits because when I eventually find
the right woman and have a family, I want those
benefits, too.
What I DO mind is receiving less pay for being a
single man, as if I do not have the same expenses as a
married individual/parent. I have no doubt that being
a parent is a tough and costly responsibility, but I
still believe that I deserve equal pay for equal work,
regardless of whether I have other mouths to feed.
