A woman said she felt “betrayed by feminism” after deciding she wanted to settle down, have a family and a husband as she approached 39th birthday. At one point during the interview with Fox News Digital, she broke down crying describing how she feared she would end up alone and childless. Melissa Persling recently wrote an essay for Business Insider titled, “I’m 38 and single, and I recently realized I want a child. I’m terrified I’ve missed my opportunity.” She said after it went viral in November, hate began to pour in from men telling her that she’s lived a...

“Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Erika Jayne conspired with a Secret Service agent who once reportedly had ties to Hunter Biden - to pursue bogus credit card fraud charges against her former costume designer, according to a bombshell $18 million lawsuit. Christopher Psaila accused Jayne, 52, of filing fraudulent refund requests with American Express and, through her hubby, Tom Girardi, bribing Secret Service Agent Robert Savage III to “weaponize” the agency and unjustly prosecute the designer over legitimate charges he billed her in 2015 and 2016, according to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for Central California....

9.) Be happy to see him. Free him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. Listen to him. 10.) You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first — remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. 11.) Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to...

I know very little about Hilary Rosen other than her comments and that she's been very successful in her career, had at least 2 long term relations with another powerful lesbian and adopted 2 kids with Elizabeth Birch (seperaed from in 1966). Her current partner is Randi Weingarden the powerful head of the American Federation of Teachers (which tells you they really didn't toss her under the bus). I have some questions about her background: 1. Who are her parents and are they wealthy? 2. Was she a trust-fund kid? (if she's wealthy from a trust-fund and didn't really have...

I periodically write and regularly broadcast about male-female issues because I want to help men and women, especially husbands and wives, get along better. But I have developed a secondary reason: to elicit left-wing reactions. They reveal an enormous amount about how the left thinks. For example, one of the biggest left-wing websites (Daily Kos) wrote that "Dennis Prager advocates marital rape." Why? Because I wrote a column in which I suggested that if a woman loves her husband, and if he is a loving and good man, she might not want to be guided solely by "mood" in deciding...

Why was a founding member of the FreeRepublic LLC 501(c) board banned by a modmin/admin who is no more than a volunteer sitting at home on a ego trip? How many thousands of archive pages were just fractured due to this foolishness? Not only should a full explanation be given to the public, the admin who approved this measure needs to be publicly named, and publicly defend the position. THis is the most abject failure of the modmin system that John Robinson devised in the history of FR since the rebuild in 1999. If the admin powered individual was anyone...

This is a letter from a Canadian housewife to the editor of a her local New Brunswick newspaper. A girl after my own heart. 'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001 and have continually threatened to do so since? Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from the nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a...

September 16, 2007 Japanese Housewives Sweat in Secret as Markets Reel By MARTIN FACKLER TOKYO, Sept. 15 — Since the credit crisis started shaking the world financial markets this summer, many professional traders have taken big losses. Another, less likely group of investors has, too: middle-class Japanese homemakers who moonlight as amateur currency speculators. Ms. Itoh is one of them. Ms. Itoh, a homemaker in the central city of Nagoya, did not want her full name used because her husband still does not know. After cleaning the dinner dishes, she would spend her evenings buying and selling British pounds and...

A Brazilian housewife was convicted and sentenced to 19 years in prison Friday for killing her husband, chopping his corpse into small pieces and frying it. Rosanita Nery dos Santos, 52, was sentenced by Judge Casio Miranda in northeastern Bahia state after a 15-member jury found her guilty of killing retired police officer Jose Raimundo Soares dos Santos, court spokesman Francisco Ribeiro said. Authorities said the killing occurred almost two years ago in Vila Sao Cosme, a lower middle-class neighborhood in the Bahia state capital of Salvador, 930 miles northeast of Sao Paulo.

A NEW breed of educated women has discovered the secret of a happy marriage — opting to stay at home instead of pursuing a career. The phenomenon, in which wives prefer their husbands to be the main breadwinner, has been identified by American sociologists and is now gaining a foothold in Britain. Unlike the housewives of the 1950s, who had little choice over rearing children and acting as homemaker, this generation of women is building on the advances of the feminist movement to determine their optimum lifestyle. The women are predominantly drawn from the middle classes and have young offspring....

The good wife's guide 1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal(especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. 2. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking....

PERHAPS THE LAST TIME anyone heard Hillary Rodham Clinton utter a spontaneous remark in public was the famous moment during the 1992 presidential campaign when she declared to a shocked -- shocked -- nation that she liked her job. Or, as she fatally put it, "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas, but what I decided to do was fulfill my profession." Pandemonium ensued, and Clinton was pounded nearly to dust for seeming to disparage domestic life and its coziest symbol, the cookie. She never made such a mistake again; and thanks to Family...

Bashing Bush by Jennifer King, Managing Editor August 1, 2003 "The Heretical Housewife" The endless barrage of bombast continues. For weeks, months, years even - the tireless whining continues. The media and the Democrats seem to be simply unable to accept and celebrate any good news whatsoever, if the credit will append to President Bush. The recent stunning victory in Iraq? A budding “quagmire” according to the Left. The successful operation against Saddam’s odious offspring? “We should have taken them alive” whined the Dems. Representative Charlie Rangel (D-NY) even went so far as to suggest that it was against United...
