First, let me say that I'm married to an educated, successful woman (a liberal jewish gal, no less). What the problem is is this: Education in america today amounts to liberal propaganda. As far as women are concerned, this means feminism. And not just feminism in its political sense, but rather a whole bundle of culture assumptions that go along with it.
The single most traumatic thing in my marriage (12 yrs) has been the past year since we've had our second child. My wife has been staying home with our children. The tough part for her has not been leaving her career for a time...but rather has been dealing with the negative ego ramifications of being "a housewife".
Politics aside, feminism has brainwashed educated women regarding the whole bundle of functions associated with being a "housewife". Cleaning, cooking, etc. are viewed by all modern educated american women (again, politics aside) as being beneath them and shameful. This creates an enormous amount of strife in the marriage.
I love my wife and we will work things out. But I must confess, it'd be a whole lot easier dealing with a gal who doesn't revert to "women's studies 101" lectures when asked about the laundry.
If you're a young, successful guy...why deal with the hassle? Find a gal who will be a wife and mother without the baggage.
I'm sorry, but as a whole I've seen very little evidence of that. Oh sure, there's a segment that think like that, but there are a lot of professional women who incorporate cleaning, cooking, etc. into their routines. Heck, they've taught me most of my recipes!
Huh? Let me get this straight... are you saying we shouldn't send women to school because their fragile minds will be brainwashed by the liberal propagandists but it's ok for the guys because they are too strong to be brainwashed by the same liberal academia?
sheeesh....
