The traditional family is not compatible with a society in which women work in the marketplace.

I dont know what side you are on, since your statement suports women working since that is congruent with most of todays society, so you seem to support women working.

The traditional family: a married couple with kids, is a very small part of this society, a small minority, consisting of less than 23.5% of American households.

Therefore, the traditional family, is pretty much insignificant to this discussion, dont ya think?

Insignificant to which discussion? That's what I was talking about--the traditional family.

If you want to ignore the traditional family and deal only with the nontraditional family, then it's kind of hard to make any generalizations since there really isn't any other standard template.

The only generalization you can make is that it doesn't seem to be working, as evidenced by the long list of societal ills, the vast majority of which can be traced directly to the breakdown of the family.

And when you start to talk about what needs to be done to save the nontraditional family, you really are lost because every nontraditional family has a different problem.

I have sat here, reading all of your posts. I see how you seem to RELISH in telling us all here, how "men don't go to college, and are uneducated, nowdays", and how "60% of college grads are women, blah.. blah.. blah... You leave out ONE little factor-- MOST OF THE "BIG LEAGUE" COLLEGES YOU SPEAK OF ACCEPT ONLY ABOUT one MAN, FOR EVER 3 or 4 WOMEN, "to make things fair" . So, what do you expect to see, in that regard???

Then, you jabber on, about "how men are going to have to change, to become the "househusbands", and to have supper ready, for the woman, who "brings home the bacon". AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN, EXCEPT for the kind of men, who wear skirts, perfume, and makeup!!!! If THAT is the kind of man, you want, I'm sure you could find one, a Linguini-spined, , emasculated, feminized man, who is afraid to speak, without his "wife's" permission!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BUT.. as for the rest of us "real men", we will NOT do a "role reversal", and become a woman's "slave", or "plaything". We will simply find other things to occupy our time, and replace the need for a "partner".

However-- I am willing to BET, that you feel that a "strong , educated woman", is one that will trick a man into a marriage, get him to "donate a sperm", (as I am sure you don't think of using the term "father"), and THEN-- leave him, saying "I want the house, car, bank accounts, your retirement, and you can have the mailbox, and everything that comes in it, each day" . Then,this "strong, educated woman", would move on, and do this again, a couple of more times---- NEVER TAKING THE TIME TO WORRY ABOUT HOW MUCH PAIN SHE HAS CAUSED THE"MEN" in her life(after all, the career is most important, isn't it, NOT love,family, or anything else, those are distractions, to "having it all"!!!!!)

THIS are what I was speaking about , several months ago, when I said "some so-called "conservative" women, here on FR, wish to espouse the tenets of feminism, at the same time, as being "conservative". For this, I was called all sorts of names, and "making all men (in general) look bad".
