This is more of a class issue than sex. |

You sound like the kind of person who "does their own research" on vaccines and medical care. Enjoy your resurgence of polio and measles. |

ooof. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/article/2024/aug/21/armed-police-raid-andrew-tate-home-romania Masked armed police raided the Bucharest home of the misogynist social media influencer Andrew Tate on Wednesday amid fresh claims about trafficking and underage sex. It is ALWAYS projection with the GOP |
As my DS is a young man I don't think this post is accurate.
I brought him up with conservative values while also teaching him to cook, clean do his own laundry, etc. Here's the thing...is it sexist to want a more traditional wife that would be willing to stay home and raise the kids...at least the first few years or so until school starts? No. |
Is it sexist for a woman to want the man to stay home at least until the kids start school? What if she makes more than him? Wouldn't it make more sense for him to stay home? |
I do exist but I am married already. |
Of course it’s perfectly fine for a Dad to stay home with the kid if that makes the most sense for the whole family. Good men are more than willing to contribute to the family like that. Less desirable men are the ones who are not emotionally secure enough to agree such an arrangement. |
Great, then there's no problem, but that's not what the MAGA think. Do you think MAGA would tell the men to stay home if the women make more money? |
He can want whatever he wants. But holding forth on how staying at home is the "proper role" of a woman or getting mad at women who don't want that role or undermining laws and policies that equalize the choices available to men and women - all of those things are wrong. Hopefully your DS wouldn't engage in any of that behavior. Just find a nice, like-minded young woman, settle down and raise their family the way they want; leaving the rest of the world to do the same. I think the issue is that we see a lot of young men being absolutely shitty about the way women ought to be. |
And what's the solution?
The prescription is usually that women need to change. Sorry, sick of hearing about this. Men and women need to work it out between themselves. There are many ways to live one's life. Figure it out according to your personalities and needs. Be creative. |
No, it's not. There are stay at home dad's. That's fine too. But I'll tell you this...my DH would never have made a good stay at home dad...he lacked the knack or rather "motherly instinct"...also, seriously how do expect the father to breast feed? I know there's pumping but that's not always convenient as I will attest to. Of course it makes financial sense if the wife makes significantly more than the husband...but let's assume they make the same...I'm not going to tell you that all women have the "motherly instinct" but most do and that is simply human nature. I for one would have loved to have had the option to be a SAHM...but we needed both salaries and I was blessed to have had my mom care for my kids. My DD has told me that she wants to be able to be a SAHM for first years. I mean it's basically a conversation to be had before marriage anyways. I respect everyone's beliefs on what a traditional family should be, so should you. I find it ironic that you don't appear to. |
men can stay home after the baby is weaned. And you saying, "my DH doesn't have the knack" is just making an excuse for him (and you). |
Yes, women can afford to be pickier than in the past because she can earn her own way. Yet, part of being pickier is wanting a man who out earns her. My suggestion to the liberated women of the world is don't disrespect men who earn less than you do. If we are the evolve into a more liberal equitable world, then Women need to drop some of their outdated preferences too. |
