Amy--

Here's the quote from you where both greg and I got that misconception:

Do you think a male CEO from the Baby Boomer generation with a wife at home should make up rules for dual-working Gen X men and women in a vacuum of input from GenX? Too many companies with this particular profile do this, and that's a waste of time for a GenX to wait out that kind of stuff.

Implicit in this statement (at least to me) is that a male CEO with a wife at home was unable to make up fair rules for a dual-working Gen X couple.

Quite frankly, I have no idea whether I'm a Baby Boomer or a Gen X or some other sort of buzzword generation. Because it doesn't matter to me. Every individual is different. I've met open minded men in their 50's who have the most "traditional" family possible, and I've met closed minded women in their 20's.

I don't think it is fruitful to put labels on people and have that be a basis for their value system. You need to evaluate individuals on their own, regardless of the attached baggage. The quote of yours that I referenced above is more of the former than the latter.
