Ridiculous article.
Back in 1970 it was my parents who urged me to learn a marketable skill. Why? Because many of the couples they knew had broken up and divorced, the husband marrying a much younger woman and leaving his ex-wife and children in poverty. The ex-wife had no skills other than homemaker and the children were not yet old enough to work and support themselves.
I started working part-time while in high school. After high school graduation, I worked in a factory where all the women in their fifties were divorced or widowed. It was they who urged me to go to college. “Don’t be like us!”, they would tell me, “our husbands are gone, and we struggle to make ends meet.”
Always I believed marriage was in my future, for I was raised by a mother who believed being a wife and mother was sacred. It was a cruel reality to discover that most men I met were bums, highly critical of women who believed their place was in the home, rearing children and caring for their families.
By age thirty I no longer dated and had given up on ever marrying. I made my own way in the world. Today I’m 60-years old, a life-long Conservative and Republican, and read articles like this one which ignore the centuries old truism: it’s a man’s world.
Feminism didn’t have a damn thing to do with any of this nation’s present problems.
Great post!
Most jobs are not “wonderful, fulfilling careers.” If they were, sayings like “Thank God it’s Friday!” wouldn’t be so common.
I’ve heard young single women say that they’d like to be full-time wives and mothers, but they’re afraid to say that to the men they date. Once men prided themselves on being able to support a wife, insisting, “No wife of mine will have to work!” Now they think stay-at-home wives are leeches. They feel entitled to the money their wives or live-in girlfriends bring in from their jobs. So it’s not just those evil feminazis insisting on working. There’s a lot of factors going on.
