I was adopted by my parents when they were in their 40s, so I guess I was raised with the values of a different generation. My Mom and Dad both played the traditional roles and I never heard from them any complaints about the other. They commited, they stuck to it and did their best. I really think its this disposable/ have it all society, people don't value each other enough. Everbody these days are too greedy and selfish for marriage to work anymore...and if its a free-for-all get what you can can world, women better change and start demanding more and becoming as selfish as men... who want a friend/ equal partner/ dynamo in the bed/ perfect mother / housekeeper and nights out to chase after girls... WOMEN...ACCEPT NO LESS FOR YOURSELVES THAN WHAT THEY EXPECT OF YOU! My experience tells me that the human race is doomed if women were ever so selfish as men.
Preaching to yourself... how appropriate!
Women have always been immeasurably MORE selfish than men. They just tweak the definition of "selfish" when it come to their own behavior. (Do you really think we still buy that crap like "I keep your house" as if women did it for men's benefit?)
What would really doom society is if all of a sudden the avarice and narcissism of women were coupled with the assertiveness of men. Oh? Wait....
How very typical. Let's all blame the faceless society for the bad behavior of individuals.
It's not the fault of that girl signing on the dotted line that her baby is about to be killed. It's society. And if it's not society, it's at least just as much the fault of that guy that got her pregnant. You just don't understand the pressure he might exert on her, even though he has no legal right to compel her to abort, nor any legal right to prevent her from aborting. It's still just as much his fault. He should have made his reproductive choice before she gets pregnant, even though she makes her choice after she knows she's pregnant.
Yeah, tell me about how you're fighting for equality.
