It was for my grandmothers, and mother, and MIL. And it was a pretty nice gig too. |
And Elon Musk when he designed the Cybertruck after blade runner? Sometimes fiction can influence life, but you don’t have to take my word, read this from the MIT Technology Review about the influence of science fiction on scientists. https://www.technologyreview.com/2018/04/05/67057/when-science-fiction-inspires-real-technology/ |
Wow the existence of this post completely proves OP’s point. |
It's horrific |
You haven't figure out that lots of women find it more satisfying to focus on home matters and child-rearing, than working 40+ hours a week, being chronically exhausted and only getting to spend about 2 hour a night with their kids? |
Sure. I see them all the time being discarded for a newer model too, with no skills to support themselves or their children. Funny enough, it's good Christian men who do this to their wives the most. |
Don't waste your time. They haven't figured out the government has done a steady job of brainwashing the population into thinking everyone must work all the time and pay more taxes to support government welfare since post WW2. |
Maybe, but LOTS of women find that doesn’t always work out that well. Only 25% of moms are Stay at home parents. “Mother’s little helper” wasn’t there in the 60s because LOTS of women found that life satisfying. |
What are you talking about? Link? I'm a well-educated Republican woman married to a well-educated Republican man and all of our kids attend college. Could it possibly be that you heard something on some obscure website and are now extrapolating it to an entire group of people? Nah, that never happens around here. ![]() |
OMG. What complete drivel. This election was about common sense issues, not identity politics and gaslighting. Too bad Democrats didn't run a candidate who addressed the issues that MOST Americans are concerned with, but do continue whining about "racism and sexism." Also, maybe refresh your memory - how many billionaires back Democrats?? |
+100 |
![]() What am I even reading? Ever think about the common denominator in your bizarre interactions?? |
+1 Some more than others. Thankfully, there are still lots of good universities that take a middle-of-the-road approach and welcome all viewpoints. Not the Ivies, of course. |
If anything, I think the election was sort of a backlash against the societal changes that have happened with more women having gone to college and pursue the types of careers that were traditionally reserved for men. A lot of young voters were raised in households where both parents worked long hours and maybe didn’t spend as much time with them. Let alone the stress and exhaustion of trying to do it all. Maybe those young people are looking at the whole thing and saying “that isn’t worth it… maybe we are all better off going back to a more so-called traditional family structure.” They may perceive Republicans as making them feel like that is ok and should be celebrated, whereas they may perceive Democrats as making women feel like a failure if they don’t exercise their rights to be on equal footing with men career wise. I’m not saying I agree with this, it just seems like there is something like that going on with young people. I am college educated and work full-time but I put myself on a track where I am paid less and have not achieved as much as many of my peers. The trade-off is I am not as stressed out and have more time for parenting and household tasks. I think there’s been a feeling building for a while that “having it all“ is BS. and maybe the young people are making choices accordingly. |
+1 Yep. I'm impressed that you even bothered to respond to the PP, who is clearly just itching for a fight (as usual). It's really pathetic. |
