Alrighty, then!

First of all, no man could AFFORD me; I do what I do for him out of LOVE. Secondly, my current 'Farm Wife Gig' (sans any kids!) is the best thing ever, EVER!

Right now I'm canning Salsa and FReeping while Beau is out in the hot sun, Consulting at a Construction Site.

Life Is Good. :)

I’d think it would take more than one semester to absorb the fullness of this concept.

Eugene Lang College (NYC) is offering a course this Fall predicated on the belief that women should be paid for housework, emotional labor, and other forms of “invisible labor.”

...and should men get paid rent for letting these emotional laborers live in the houses they pay the mortgage on? Do feminists really want to try playing this game? It's not the '70s anymore and today's men aren't chivalrous enough to put up with feminist BS anymore.

Let’s consider this! The hubby can write off the expense from his taxes, then the wife can claim earned income tax credits. Oh, and any household expenses related to the labor (cleaners, vacuum machine and bags, washer and dryer) become business expenses. Wife can show a loss on her “job” and write that off taxes, too.

It is called sweat equity. It goes hand-in-hand with brown bag lunches, store brand food, used cars, and dollar cost averaging, making and extra house payment (or two) per year... staying out of credit card debt, paying your bills on time, not having children out of wedlock, finishing high school or a GED, and not getting entangled with the criminal justice system. Going to work everyday & putting in in honest days work. Pursuing advanced educational opportunities... budgeting your pay and sticking to your budget... if one or the other spouse disagrees with the ethic, perhaps they should rethink the commitment.

LOL. Who, precisely, is supposed to pay the “wages” for housework? And if its your working spouse, does that mean that you no longer have joint finances with your husband? And does your spouse have to issue a W-9 to you and then you get taxed on your “housework wages”? Or is this just yet another ploy for a government handout to people who don’t work in the workforce?

Applying that logic, and I use the term loosely, shouldn’t a wife then pay for her room and board? And other economic benefits?

Are there women who do housework? you mean, like washing the dishes and cooking? WHERE ARE THEY?

If this is to happen, then you have to deduct room and board from their “salary.”

Listen up. Marriage is a cooperative arrangement between a MAN and a WOMAN. It arose to HELP the woman, not to enslave her!

Furthermore, men are discriminated against in college admissions and jobs. Yet the man is the one who pays, always.

"...that husbands “have to pay us…not one wage, but many wages, because we have been forced into many jobs at once.”

All you had to do was say "no" ya' big dummy, and stay single. Did anybody twist your arm?

Wages for housework?

It's called a Joint Bank Account.

If they're serious about calling it "wages," then wait until the government taxes it and takes out FICA and SSDI.

Diana, Your attitude is refreshing.

Do they really want husbands conducting performance reviews for their wives? Is this the direction these freaks want to go? I guess they have come a long way since the days when women should be the bread winners, equal to all men, and men should be breast feeding for them.

At it’s core, this is another shot at destroying the family, the foundation of a civil society. Whose going to pay the husband for mowing the lawn, trimming the bushes, cleaning the trash can, changing the oil in the cars, repairing the house, cleaning the gutters, etc. Should men no longer be expected to contribute to housework, else the wives Union show up and picket?

I sure hope the janitors at this school get the same per hour wage as the professors.

A husband and wife are supposed to be acting in coordination as a single unit, one team. They are not supposed to have vital interests in opposition to each other.

The false premise the feminists start with is that the above is not true and a wife is inherently at odds with her husband.

And that is why so many men find marriage to be a bad deal. Because when he repairs something, when he carries something heavy, when he does something dangerous, when he puts his life on the line to protect her, feminists credit him for none of these things. It’s just a financial transaction to them.

demand cash compensation from husbands for all household work.

Obviously they've never met my hubby. He really could not give a rats rear end if housework gets done. The pressure to clean is all me. I don't think he would be inclined to pay for something he is oblivious to.

Good. Give them the “wages”, then, send them a bill for half of the groceries, utilities, rent/mortgage, automobile, school fees/supplies, and whatever else it takes to own and maintain a household.

Don’t forget property taxes.

File separately.

Love? Forget about that, if she charges you wages for being a wife, there’s no love there anyway...find it where you can.

Ay, por favor-esta mierda otra vez? When I was a teen, the feminists were screaming for an equality where women had the right to hold a job, and housework was shared by couples-When I married, I went with that-when the cub was little and I stayed home, I did all the mom stuff, cooking, chores, etc-when I worked outside the home, hubby shared laundry and some housecleaning-and even though I did the lion’s share of housework and cooking, neither of my hubbies ever refused to help if I asked. I always did nearly all the cooking-I prefer it that way, since I’m a natural and organic type, and will only eat natural and unprocessed stuff.

It worked out fine-now, my guy cleans his own place and I clean my own place. We do co-op repairs on each other’s homes, and we cook together-he eats organic, too-in other words, we are equal.

These feminazi types don’t seem to realize they are taking feminism backward by playing the woman card on pay for housework, sex, etc-it makes them look like weak sisters/snowflakes and re-objectifies them-the dumb bitches can’t have it both ways...
