What women want in 2010: A husband who'll be the main breadwinner (British Social Attitudes Survey)

I certainly don't begrudge women the right to work if they so choose.

I think in your wording you might have hit on the real heart of the matter. Maybe what "women" want isn't to have a career, or to be a housewife. Maybe all "women" want is to be able to choose either without being stigmatized?

Yeah, that’s why those of us out here who are finding out the hard way that the white man’s world still doesn’t really accept nonwhite women with open arms - the science fields, math, computers, and law, to be precise - and can’t find any job to save our lives no matter how many college degrees we get; are screwed totally when we try to resort to what our elders did: find a husband to support us. Now these days, these post-feminazi days, no man wants to support a woman with as much higher education as he has who just can’t find a job in this economy because of her skin color. So women are just left to starve on the streets while men go abroad and search for foreign brides who have less education and aren’t going to be capable or competent to raise and educate the children they want to have with these prettier women. They may have a more subservient, less-educated wife who bears them prettier children but who won’t be able to do so much as correct their homework because they won’t know how.

What a screwed up world.

Would be nice if employers got the hint. Hard to find churchgoing ladies these days.

Well some of us out here DO go to Mass. When I get there all I find is that the only people there on a regular basis are all over 50 and very few newborns and new families. We have few Baptisms these days, fewer Weddings. What does that say?! Sometimes I’m the only person under 50 who’s there, for gosh sakes!!

No. Churchgoing ladies aren’t “hard to find.” You people just don’t want the one standing right in front of you!! Because I’m Native American “red” Indian I guess people just assume by looking at me that I “must” NOT go to Mass.

That is just wrong in almost every way! Women (and all minorities) are the ones getting the advantage today (just look at the percentage of women vs men in the workplace). If you can’t get a job or advance, it is probably due to your own lack of skills or perseverance. Non-White (men or women) means advancement today in almost all positions.

As to the husband thing...mercy, with the college education that is received today, it would be amazing if even a third of these women are ever married. They are being taught how to be selfish men haters - just who do you think would marry them? Geez, and you wonder why men here are looking at other countries for brides...

This has virtually nothing to do with education except that it is women’s studies that are destroying any chance at a happy marriage. Almost all women with a higher education would never even consider marrying a man with less education so who is to blame here..? They still want the money maker while they do their own thing...
