Career women have more to win from a harem

Yesterday, I had a chat with an old friend of mine. He said modern woman are too independent to want to join in in a community. That made me thinking. I can imagine an intelligent career woman is not likely to fit in a classic marriage -- one that builds upon the social family patterns and is converted into a setting that enables a woman to be equal to man. In most cases though, the woman in such modern households is indeed enabled to build a career and spend much time outside the family cradle, but in reality she is the only one to combine that busy career with a majority of the household activities, raising the kids, etc.

So maybe, career women are the kind of women to win more than family women. By sharing the household responsibilities among more people and obtaining an advantage of scale allowing ful-time house personnel is indeed a great gain. Even more, I know a lot of young career women that are very lonely at home ... even those that are married. Living in a community might overcome that evening loneliness, whilst spreading the house tasks over more people.
