You are so right! Well done Danny Boy!

History shows again and again how nature points up the folly of men.
Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s the P.C. crowd was just really getting started, at least in my area, and in the Engineering and construction fields. These young women thougth they had arrived.
One day we had begun a big discussion on a new women’s (feminist) Bible.) They asked me what it said. I quoted:
“There is a way that seemeth right to a women, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” (Proverbs 16:25)
Jesus said: “That every idle word that women shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.”
(Matthew 12:36)
“Wherefore as by one women sin entered the world, and death by sin; and so death by sin; and so death passed upon all women, for that all have sinned.” (Romans 5:12)
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a woman soweth, that shall she also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)
Now let me be honest; I did not have such a Bible, but you get the point! If they want to be as men, they have to take on the burden, and accountibilty of men!
One dirty secret in all this is that for all the talk of ‘balance’ that working mothers peddle, the fact remains that the most important person in their life is their boss.
They will much sooner tell their husband or boyfriend to take a backseat than they would their boss.
They will not ‘balance’ work and child responsibilities. The children invariably take a secondary role. Much like they would expect their mate to take a backseat to work concerns, they will do the same with their children.
I’ve supervised many people and while a man will tell me ‘no’ now and then, a woman almost never defies me. As to why, I can’t say. I just know it’s true. That’s one reason bosses like women working for them, though they present distinct downsides, too.
Send picture of boat. . . . . ;-)
Yes, I meant that women give away sex and call it freedom - far as I can see it’s actually giving away incentive for commitment. Hugh Hefner must be so proud.
BTW, I’m a she.
I work outside the home; I always have. But it was my choice. However, I didn't try to have it all. Working my way to the top would have meant not taking the kids to soccer practice and Little League; I would have missed the school concerts and missed being Cub Scout Den mother. I'm happy with what I've done -- both in raising kids and at work. If my daughter chooses to be a stay-at-home mom, that's great. If she wants to work in the outside world, that's great too.
Not to mention that any intelligent woman won't want to live as 'rustic' as my lifestyle requires. It's pretty sporty out here in the boonies.

But when minimized to sex objects or the power broking b*@%!, the likes of which feminism has brought us, women digress into a puddle of bitter emotions and self destructive competitiveness amonst themselves and project that same behavior towards men. Which in turn leads any self-respecting or confident male to repel, rebel or just become detached.
Women have lost their greatest ability to motivate men's inbred tendency to chivilrous behavior by attempting to go toe to toe rather than compliment and lend their strength and achieve the same amount of recognition through non demasculinating means.
You’re smart. And I know you’re a ‘she’!

LOL.
They thought we worked 70 hours a week because we LIKED it?
Well people thought more highly of the marriage contract in those days. Two become one flesh and all that.
America's economy has done a remarkable job of absorbing a workforce doubling, but it covered for overspending and led to many other economic phenomena that are hurting many and still requiring adjustment toward quasi-equilibrium.

Thanks, Mr. Bachert, for your post #52. As usual, your comments are thoughtful and enlightening.
Your conclusions on the outcome of our society with the present trends continuing are right on target...unfortunately.
Those of us who are like you (I presume), seasoned citizens, are much distressed at what happening to our society. I, for one, do not foresee anything that will change the disastrous path we are on. In many ways it is good to be old and not far from checking out.
You don’t need to explain to me. . . . . ;-)
Some people would say it's the abortion culture.
