I hate feminazis as much as anyone but they sure elevated women legally over men. How? No fault divorce and sexual harassment laws. If your a woman with a grudge against a guy just accuse him of "sexual harassment" since sexual harassment is whatever you say it is you can't lose. Want to rob a guy marry him divorce him its "no fault" and you get half his stuff plus child support and alimony and the wife can sit on her duff and watch Oprah the rest of her life. No for any guys who think like me

I'm 54 yrs old, a child of the 60's and I NEVER bought it.
Although family circumstances made it necessary for us to have an additional income, I would never allow my job to be more important than the family I was working for.
I always had an income, but I worked it out. I worked 10-4, 4 days a week when they were school age (5 daughters) so that I was also able to be a good wife and mother, make terrific meals, be involved with their activities and friends, make our house a home and BE THERE!
My more liberated friends have had much more stress, pressure, guilt and general constant juggeling of their lives. Like spinning your wheels.
When the kids were grown, my husband and I started our own business and I still keep the same hours. .
I chose to marry and raise children, that was and is my primary job.

Thank you, kattracks.

It's nice to hear this side of the argument. I hope that there is going to be a good discussion of this view on television and radio.

Now they find themselves in careers that are time-consuming, require travel away from home and envelop their lives. In that sense, women turned into what they originally disliked about their men and in the process, made the ugly discovery that a major tradeoff was the signature of their femininity. They gave up or lost the opportunity to be a wife and a mother. Why weren't they smart enough to see that?

Bump for all those women who took the time to be mommies (thanks mom!).

I'm entitled to criticize females because the last time I checked, I'm one of them.

I've always wondered why, to criticize a woman you must be one, but criticism of men is open to all.

My wife wanted a career until she got one. Then she was honest enough with herself to realize and 40+ hours a week in an office frankly sucks.

Men put up with it out of a sense of responsibility.

"In that sense, women turned into what they originally disliked about their men...."

Including having affairs of their own, ignoring the house and children, and walking away when they are financially independent. The article conveniently leaves out the wives and mothers who let their careers consume their life and ruin what they already had.

[japaneseghost]

She is absolutely correct.

[BikerNYC]

So, what does she want a woman to do? Work? Not work? Or be more thoughtful with her decisions and understand the consequences of her actions, yet have the freedom to either work or not work as she sees fit?

I have never met a "professional" woman, besides an RN or MD who knows that by age 25 or so that female pubic bones' seam grows solidly together, loosing their youthful flexibility, an aid in birthing. An informative book by an RN, So That's What They're For explains breast feeding, the real reason for the pair.

Teaching about the "stale egg syndrome" became very unPC about 30 years ago. A side effect of "sex in the city", many STDs cause sterility in women while only an inconvenience in men.

Most women childless by 35, will remain so, whether clinically barren or unfertilized.

As a bachelor, I am weary of bitter women, angrily blaming men for nature's reality instead of accepting their own choices. The older I get, the more desirable younger women become. Nature ain't fair.

[Lizavetta]

This article is right on target.

As far as I can see, modern feminism has cheapened womanhood and has successfully convinced women that motherhood is a worthless commodity to be fobbed off onto the hired help.

The really BIG dirty secret they forgot to tell women as they were urging us to go out there and get a job and have it all, is that after awhile, many of us would have little choice but to do so. THE COSTS OF MERCHANDISE AND SERVICES EXPANDED TO FIT THE ABILITY OF PEOPLE TO PAY THEM! An example: housing prices are inflated to reflect the mortgage interest tax deductions. Remove that deduction, and the prices will go down, and the real estate lobby admits it, and opposes removing the deduction for that reason! Two income couples outbid one another for their homes, raising prices in the process, and thus shooting themselves in both feet! It now takes two jobs to have the life that we took for granted with one paycheck, when I married in the late fifties. With one paycheck of between four and five thousand dollars a year, a young couple could buy a house, furnish it, have a child, a dog, eat well, and even have some entertainment. I know, because we did it. We even managed to SAVE some of that money -- now there's a novel concept. Then, when our children were in school, I went back to work as a teacher, and I truly did "have it all" -- the pleasure of a challenging and satisfying career with time off when my children were off, the respect of the community, and an extra income to bank and invest. Some couples are still managing to live that "fifties" stay-at-home-Mom lifestyle while their kids are young, even in our high rent community, by employing careful planning and frugality, but I observe that more live at the outer edges courting financial disaster and meltdown in case of recession, working long hours at demanding jobs, in order to "have it all," with marriages coming apart at the seams as a result of all the expectations that cannot humanly be met.

Barbara Simpson, "The Babe in the Bunker"

This is one smart lady. It's a crying shame that there is a drooling idiot newscaster with the same name.

[Saundra Duffy]

Bump for Barbara Simpson! Love that woman!!

[Saundra Duffy]

And women have been duped by the abortion industry, too. For example, visit www.AbortionBreastCancer.com and see how abortion causes breast cancer. The feminists and abortionists want to keep women totally ignorant on this subject. It's about power, control and MONEY. For victory & freedom!!!

Bump for a great article. Feminism is just another in a long line of humanist lies. Sure, Western (Christian) culture hasn't made for a perfect society yet, but it sure beats anything else that's ever been tried.
