FALSE.


God help me !


-"Good morning  Madame. Mademoiselle ?" What is the difference ? And above all, how does it matter to him ? Someone told me the time when women were only "wife of Mr X" was over but right now I strougly doubt it ! Would they ask my boyfriend he was single or not ? Well, I actually asked him if it ever happened and the answer was : "Only once, when I got a job 800km away from my house"... What is the difference between us two ?


Anyway,  the interview goes on : PRESENTATION.


-Gwen, living in Alsace, 22 , no child.


And now listen closely...  You don't hear  anything ? Come on get focuse ! The heart beating of the recruiter, its rythm, yes it has strongly accelerated on the last words. And now he is thinking : "But why on earth am I loosing my time ? In the next 10 years she will be on maternity leave. Wait, this one will be maternity leaveSSSS I bet, adding ill children and everything ! I knew I should not have recruited women. That won't be possible..."

He tries to hide his thoughts but you clearly see through ! He tries to look inspired and says :

-I'll introduce to you our firm and the job we are recruiting for.
And here comes the worst job on earth, or at least that is what he is trying to make you believe. You will be the bugbeast of the firm because the team perfectly nows what you will be here for : fire 70% of the team bu the end of the year. Yes, your job will be to "refresh the team", firing the "useless and inapropriate"... In a word phone your med and tell him you will be depressed for the next few months because of your job !


And proudly he gives you le coup de grâce :
-Are you still interrested ?

Mocking smile : he thinks he has won for sure.

-Yes of course.
What ??? How dare you ?

-Ok well, I must warn you it is not going to be easy, especially if you get pregnant !


Have I talked about getting pregnant ? Who talked about getting pregnant ? Allo ? Is the kind man hearing voices out of the silence ? ALLOOOO ??? That's weird, I NEVER talked about it, did I ? How can he knows about me wanting to get pregnant before I even desired it ? It's a bit strange. Is he psychic ? I was told that psychic persons had some real relashionship potentials... Well then he can't be !

STOP !!!!

I AM NOT A PROCREATIVE MACHINE !

So please stop harrassing me ! Because it does not only happen during job interviews, it's everwhere and all the time :

-family on phone "So are you pregant yet ?"

-doctor "I can't give you that medication, might be pregnant"

-orientation consellor " What you want to do is be a teacher, because no matter what you're gonna be pregnant soon, and that's secuity"

-colleagues "You've seen a stork ?" "No two of them " "Well that means twins in the year"

-family in law "Happy father's day dad" "Thanks, should I wish you a happy father's day too ?"

This is my answer to all (male and female, yes, female too !) :

How can you be so sure ? I might as well be sterile (just imagine telling a sterile women all that !), or I just do not want to have kids (hot news : women who do not want to have kids are true women too !). And even if I wanted kids, it is my own problem, well rather our problem since it also concern the father but it does not concern anyone else !


That is precisely why if someday we want to get pregnant we won't ask you. But no worries, you will know it since we do not intend on hidding my belly nor the child ! So please stop.

Now to all the recruiters and bosses, just be aware that if someday I was to get pregnant, well, I will have no choice but to carry the baby myself. Yes, it is fact, it is nature, we cannot change it unless we leave in Adous Huxley's Brave New World, women are the only bodies able to carry babies ! But believe me, I know a certain amount of women who would have prefer to let their husband carry the baby or who would have loved to share it with him, leave it home during the working hours... Unfortunately remouvable uterus has not yet been invented nor male with uterus. so you will have to get used to it.
One more thing : it has not yet been proven that pregnancy disminished mental abilities...
