“No Duh…”

By Daniel Miessler on September 7th, 2008: Tagged as Culture | Relationships
  1. Most women want a more traditional, “manly” husband than you’d think from listening to the feminist movement.
  2. Most men want a classical, domestically-oriented wife rather than a financially independent go-getter.

    .. well .. the point is .. it should be a CHOICE and that women who choose to work (even ambitiously) should not be judged inferior by those who wish to be a "housewife" and those who choose to be housewives (by choice .. not after being bullied by an oppressive husband) should not be judged by those who wish to work.


    To be realistic for a moment, many families that are two-income households have chosen to be so in order to maintain the standard of living they envision for themselves (and unfortunately - judging from the credit card debt in the US - many fail to reach their standard living even WITH two incomes).

    Echoing Carl, the feminist movement isn't about what women and men should and shouldn't be, it's about the freedom for both sides to be who they want to be. If a man and woman want to take on traditional roles based on their sex, that is not anti-feminist. If they do it because society dictates they must, and these predefined roles are not conducive to their happiness, then it is anti-feminist.
    It is about the freedom to be yourself.

    You guys are missing the point: there is constant confusion regarding the cause of women choosing to stay home and be feminine or motherly or domestic.


    Feminism pushes that this only happens because of a lack of options; they don't stress the fact that many women CHOOSE that life.


    That's the point.
