Why Women Must Change Too if we are to Rescue Marriage

While Woman outnumber men in college, women are very much outnumbered in scientific fields. I go to the University of Illinois, and the females I know are studying things like sociology, art, English, and many other liberal arts subjects. These are fine topics, and challenging but try finding a job that uses what you learned in college.

The reality is not everyone should go to college. Not everyone can be management. And in many of the fields that you need a degree to find a job women aren't enrolling in.

Plus many women take a decade off of work when they are 25-35 to at least start a family. That time period is when male workers and females who don't leave to start a family, make huge career advancements.

I don't foresee a era when men are out earned by females for these reasons.

True.

Out of curiosity, are you a music producer? I got the impression with your link.

There is no second miriam webster entry it was describing some thing different to your position that is all

[Kelly_2000]

"O.K. Now you've got me interested. Just what is this "moderate" feminism"

I think mainstream is a better word, feminism has become victim of severe stereotyping. As a feminist I am a former model, I make my husbands dinners. I wear makeup and celebrate my femininity. I believe in old fashioned family values and go to church.

This flies in the face of the current stereotype of a feminist. I want equality, i don't want to change men or myself that is all.

Mother Nature will penalize the human genome for any changes we try to make quickly in what was a million year process.

Eh? I suggest you read the page more closely. There are two entries there, 1: and 2:.

Could the fact that there are agencies putting money into re-writing text books have something to do with that? BTW if you're going to insist on a literal text book defintion you should use the Oxford, rather than Websters. I doubt however that during World War II Webster's had a disenting view of the Nazi's either.

I think you should watch how you pass judgment on others. I think that because I am enlightened enough to know that I cannot make time that a child needs I am being totally unselfish by not having one.

The selfish people are the ones that have children to satisfy society's notion that they should; and then pass the child off for nannies etc. to raise. The child feels unloved and knows that it is unwanted. That is the worst thing you can do to a child. They pick up every undertone of resentment every time a parent cannot do what they really want to be doing!

I do produce music, and write music, I am not in the music industry per se however. (I am BMI affliated however)

[Tax-chick]

I have a husband ...

Now wait a minute ... I thought you had something going with Laz!

Ah, and therein lies the rub. The world has changed underneath you, and most of you, being at least twice my age, aren't able to see it.

[Kelly_2000]

"Eh? I suggest you read the page more closely. There are two entries there, 1: and 2:.,p> And again I point out the fact that neither entry implies or states that feminism equates to role reversal. In fact it sates the opposite

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

Laz is a Sex God and I STAND BY THAT STATEMENT!!

[Kelly_2000]

"Could the fact that there are agencies putting money into re-writing text books have something to do with that?"

Could be , I wouldn't disagree with that either

[kharaku]

Nor should it need to. The Nazi's wanted to produce a single Aryn race, eliminating Jews was implicit in that directive but need not be stated explicitly.

[Kelly_2000]

"Ah, and therein lies the rub. The world has changed underneath you, and most of you, being at least twice my age, aren't able to see it."

I am 28 years old are you 14 then?

[music is math]

And again I point out the fact that neither entry implies or states that feminism equates to role reversal.

Nothing in the entries specifically defines feminism as role reversal; the second definition does however implicitly allow it. Like I said, the world has changed underneath you and taken the language with it. You're stuck in the past; being younger than nearly everyone else here, I'm not.

[Kelly_2000]

"Nothing in the entries specifically defines feminism as role reversal; the second definition does however implicitly allow it."

No it does not it mentions nothing about role reversal, in fact it mentions equality quite precisely and quite deliberately

[Tax-chick]

No ambiguity there!

[Rhadaghast]

do you have the citation for that statistic? Can you get it?
