Interesting. I am sure that there are plenty of parasitic women.
On the other hand, I can’t count how many married women I know whose husbands don’t feel the need to hold down a full time job. This is particularly true of women who are 10-15 years younger than I am.
There are also plenty of married women who would like to either stop working or take a less demanding job, but whose husbands are opposed. For some men, it’s the extra money. For others, it’s a status symbol to have a wife with a successful career and a certain pedigree.
Perhaps we all need to encourage a culture that supports both sacrifice and generosity.
For Ever, thus far at least, Men have worked and supported women and children and lost the experience of raising their children. Or gone thru divorce, and were severely limited to visitation, overburdened with excessive child support, and subjected to dealing with new spouses in the child rearing arena.
Now men are learning that the yoke of supporting a family should be an equal yoke, with fathers becoming actual fathers, with time equally divided, and together time, truly the whole family.
Women who have forever, or at least to this time in our history, have gotten pregnant, and stopped working, somehow think this is their right, and that the input of the father is somehow secondary in importance to the rearing of their children than women.
Ladies, you asked for Women’s Liberation, and you got it. Thanks to Gloria Steinem. Now your treated as equals in the work place. Even you don’t want to work for other women. I hear it every day.
Men are taking their lives back, and no longer want to be the sole wallet supporting a family. IMO, its not what most women want. Funny, its what most men have ALWAYS wanted.
I think our children will be better off because of it too.
Ladies, hit the sack early, up at 5am and to work by 7am for the rest of your working life.
