Parenting and schooling decisions are always much easier when one does not have children  |

| It is becoming increasingly difficult to support a partner on the salary you can earn in this sector. Most successful seem to be teaching couples. is that sexist ? Can I say that ? |

Since you've decided a full space should precede an eroteme at the end of a sentence, I don't see why not. If kerning can't be sacred, what's meaning have to do with anything?
Marital status discrimination? In my vocation? Say it ain't so!
Marriage itself is an ultimate exercise (maybe the) ultimate exercise in discriminatory privilege. As someone has said: I refuse to mate in captivity.
I find it hard to believe you believe what you've written is sexist.
Have you wholly surrendered to the camp of: I'll be called names for telling the truth! Oh! The irony of oppression!
Because that's a really stupid camp. The counselors steal from your care packages and put saltpeter in the beans. |

Yes, it's kosher to say that. Besides, you're quite right.  |

I agree but you could also say this:

It's a fact of life that in Western countries these days, both partners normally have to work to pay the bills. Not being able to support a partner on one salary is the norm, not the exception. |

| Telling the truth is sometimes a revolutionary act. Even when we get the punctuation wrong. |
