Why don't I seek to "control" my wife or she me? Not necessary. We didn't marry children.

As my former boss used to say (about his ex-wife): it was a wedding, not a coronation.

They would definitely have to feel like they are bringing something to the table. But also, the particular subset of men on FR like to argue and debate...I doubt to many would stand by and let her be a spinster.

Yep.

If your choices are Hillary! or Laura Bush, which would most (straight) men choose?

I'm not an attractive guy, but i've never been in any kind of relationship, yes i am a loser, but maybe there is a girl out there for me, hopefully.

I didn't mean just control over the female, I was leaning towards situational control, but the deep rooted societial control (order) is ingrained just as well.

Or, in my case, a grandmom! But I'm sure you aren't THAT old.

Excellent question.

I don't think she's going to answer it....

Probably not with that attitude.

There is no definition for "less accomplished" or more accomplished," and these terms apply to many different factors.

I find that few female lawyer types give men credit for your common sense observations.

These are the types of questions that couples should ask individually and together. Whose carreer will come first? If it is a choice of moving for his career or her career which will it be?

For feminists it will allways be about her, for a man it will always be to make sure he can provide for the family.

While they are wasting time in such a way, they could re-invent the wheel as well.

There is no new information in this article.

I'm sure that there are fantastically beautiful, highly educated model-like sexys superstars in the workforce ... I just don't see them.

Have you missed all the Ann Coulter threads?

No way I marry Ann (look at those hips!).

Yeah, she is a buttless wonder.

Was you situation an anomaly?

Yeah, I got married wanting to be Donna Reed (I even had the apron!) and ended up being Molly Manager to support the family. It was one of those situations where I went in a ball of marshmallow cream and came out a Briggs & Stratton Chainsaw :)

I don't know, are you still married?

Widowed.

Did you have children?

Nope, but not for lack of want or tryin'.

What do you think has caused the increase of divorce?

People who have forgotten the definition of love? I don't know. I ask questions on these threads trying to find answers to some of my own questions, understand some things that have always been a puzzle to me. :)

Usually I walk away with more questions.

Perfect example.

Laura is a smart, educated woman who worked before marriage and was successful.

Hillary! is a smart, educated woman who works and is successful.

They differ in ambition, what they want from life, what they hope to accomplish.

Which marriage would you rather have?

By your answers I would say that you are an anomaly.

Would you have given up your career while you raised your kids?

One uses her husband because he is a cad, and his daliances are irrelevant to her.

The other stood by her man while he overcame his personal problems.

Hitlary would kick bill off the mountain, Laura would help George climb the mountain.

Just my $0.02.

And does that mean that while many FR men adore Ann Coulter, none would want to marry her?

Good question.

Har, many would like to marry her. Probably the majority for the wrong reasons.

Personally I think she is an attractive woman, but I don't happen to be attracted to her. In the way those that post her pictures are.

I do love her sardonic wit, and her ability to make liberals shake. LOL

Her latest book is grate!

Men want a steady girl with a steady job.
