I really don't like the truly sexist attitudes coming out of the woodwork on some of these threads....

Lately it's the "mall" comments. Do these guys think running around a mall or wherever during the day w/young kids is just for fun? How about constant upgrades to growing kids' wardrobes? How about groceries, picking up/dropping off kids, and other errands to do? Do they think the woman, since she's called "house-wife" or "stay-at-home" mom, means literally that they don't venture from the home perimeter?

And you all who state things like "don't let down your guard or she'll neuter you" - implying that's exactly the intention of all women. That just sucks. And the other side of the coin in your comments is "*I* *man* need all the 'power'". That ain't so hot, either. So you just want everything your way, huh?

Sorry, but this and other threads I've seen are getting to me w/that anti-woman attitude.

Yeah, lazy me, I painted the deck today and now I'm going to try to fix the lawn mower. Maybe,if I'm lucky I'll have to go shopping later for new parts at Wal-Mart. Most days I don't have time to read on line but today the baby took a nap. I also used this special "down time" to do luxurious things like pee alone and pay bills that little ones wont rip down from the table!!

Well said.

And yet I'm still drawn to these threads like a bug to a lightbulb...

The realities of human psychobiology do not change, simply because we wish things were different.
