Work/Life conflict

In chapter 7, they talk about work/life conflict and how feminist have adopted different approaches to this idea. Work/life conflict talks about how work can affect one's life, away from work and also vice versa, personal life can affect how one performs at work the next day. Because people think that women are more sensitive they think it is harder for women to balance situations that can cause work/life conflict.

I know from my own experience it is hard to act normal at work if something is wrong in my personal life. Though I shouldn't bring outside work related issues to work with me, it is hard to ignore when something is one your mind. And this goes for work as well. If something stressful is going on at work of if you feel as though you performed bad at work, then it is possible that you will bring these feelings home with you and take it out on the people outside of work that had no part in making you feel this way.
