I am; the early Paleolithic -- maybe two million BC.

I see. out of interest, remind me what that was in response to?

Nooo no, not everything, back then. NOW, yes, despite feminism--which we desperately needed, by the way:

Blue the date on that is from 1955, when the typical role of a woman was to be the homemaker. Today's dual income society has created a situation where women are not only allowed, but mostly expected to generate and income. For good or bad.

If the result is that women aren't expected to be their husband's namby pamby ass-kissing slave, I'd say that's good.

People don't have to be two income families for the most part: people choose it for a number of reasons...a big house, nice cars. Keeping up with the Joneses.

And, some women LIKE to work.

yesman, you might have misunderstood me--which is understandable, because my punctuation often sucks. I'll try to clarify my point...

a) 500, 1000, and more years ago, there were many societies that were female-dominated.

b) Today, more than the opposite is true. Most societies are male-dominated--look at business, government, religion, law enforcement, military.

c) Yes, the Good Housekeeping feature was dated 1955. Yes, most married women were expected to only be housewives, but there's some extra frightening shit in that article. That's why I said we desperately needed feminism, to get people out of that sado-masochistic circle of hell.

d) So today, women are in the workplace in great numbers, whether it be for single or dual incomes. And they don't have some mainstream magazine telling them they should sit tight when their hubby's out all night, and smile sweetly when his cheatin' drunky-ness comes home in the morning. These were the results of feminism. However, see b).

Well I couldn't do it, I guess that was my fault though for not making enough money to support 5 people. Either way, I have NO PROBLEM with women working if they want to, but around here anyway, it seems that you really need two incomes just to get by in relative comfort.

Shawnee123 · 01-06-2007, 02:31 PM

Hence me saying "for the most part." I agree that it's hard to get by these days, but we are creatures of comfort.

When you said "my fault for not making enough money" it made me sad; I have gotten into arguments with people on here before who have implied that by working hard you will make more money, as if people who don't make a lot of money don't work hard. I am a living example that's not true, and I hope you know I meant no offense in my statement about working families. I'm guessing you're a pretty good guy who takes care of his family any way he can.

Cite?

yesman065 · 01-06-2007, 11:35 PM

Shawnee, No offense taken. I spent too much time working harder instead of smarter. I also learned how unappreciated all my efforts were. Since that realization, I only work one job and make more than when I had three and I no longer have the "unappreciated one" sucking the life outta me
