Relationships are very risky. The woman takes risks when she decides to raise the kids and the man takes risks that he might lose his job.

What was said in that post that changed the nature of it was his concept of a "contitbuting member of society" being a woman who has a job. I think what he meant was a contributor to my pocketbook and the truth is, you can focus on the pocketbook or you can focus on the kids. Feminists lied when they said we could do it all and must do it all if we are to be "contributing to society." This guy is married to a woman who wants to raise her kids and I think he probably disrespects that about her.

You may be right; I'm probably terribly naive, but don't couples TALK about things like kids/no kids, how to handle raising them, etc.? Or was that just me and my husband?

The truth is, it really wasn't the feminists who pushed women into the workforce. It was economics. But the greater truth is, women have always worked -- except for that brief period after WWII until the early 1970s. During WWII they worked in factories and before that a large portion of them lived in rural environments where they were busy working either feeding something or killing something.
