Well, for a sea change, you’re going to need seamen.

After years of being conditioned to believe that men relish the role of primary provider, researchers were surprised to discover Maybe we shouldn't be conditioning these researchers so much....

What would be a nice change now (at least for me) would be a contribution of actually being fit for motherhood from a potential spouse. Something that is becoming exceedingly rare, at least up here in lefty-land.
To: Izzy Dunne
And CHANGE! We, US Americans, want change, and I believe that Barack believes that I believe in change, and that won’t change, so I hope that he believes he can change the beliefs that mean-spirited Republicans have, and replace them with hope!

I come from the “I’ll bring home the bacon. She’ll cook it” tradition.

The ONLY thing the feminist movement ever did was make it expected that a woman be the 50’s housewife AND have a good-paying full-time job. ugh!
(can everyone tell that I have a ton of housework to do when I get home?) ;)

That's the buzz word the MSM is clinging on to. Obama actually stole the “Change” slogan from the Wood's Fund 2002 mission statement.

I also suspect that by doubling the supply of labor, they probably depressed wages significantly, so it was all for nothing, from a family’s point of view.

Exactly. Oftentimes, a couple MUST have 2 incomes just to stay afloat.

The vast majority of men say they wouldn't even mind if their wives brought home the bigger paycheck.I don't think my husband or my daughter's boyfriend got that memo. (A week ago my daughter offered to work to provide for the both of them while he went to medical school. He's still pouting like a kicked puppy. "There is NO WAY you're going to provide for ME!")

Exactly. People don’t seem to understand what a total revolution we’ve lived through. What an amazing economy we have that it absorbed a doubling of the work force in a mere 20 years. We won’t know all of the ramifications of this experiment for 100 years.

Unfortunately, my wife knows of many women whose husbands EXPECTED them to go back to work after having babies. In my opinion, those are not real men.
To: the lastbestlady
My mom always made more than my dad and my dad was police officer in the 70s. This scenario of women making more than men in a lot of cases, not all of course, has been the norm for almost 40 years.

I come from the Ill bring home the bacon. Shell cook it tradition. I'm more from the "If we both bring home some bacon, and we both do a little of the cookin', we'll both be eating high on the hog!" school of thought.
