[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not jealous. I never understand this reaction. We’re not jealous, we think you are subservient to the male patriarchy and holding women back from upwards mobility and independence.

Oh, and I’m not fat either. Even if I was, it’s funny you think I’m angry and fat in order to not really admire at all women whom uphold traditional gender stereotypes.

I’m not letting it go. You represent second class citizens happy to be subservient to men’s ambitions and dreams. You’re asolutely pathetic as role models to young women.

Girl, that was an angry post, whether you want to admit it or not. You need to learn to respect other women's choices. [/quote]

I don’t respect most women who choose to SAH. Many WAHM don’t. We don’t talk about it openly. We pretend, but it’s there. It’s the divide amongst women. Those of us driving gender equality in the workplace don’t for a minute understand your choice. You, SAH, you think we’d all choose your path in life if only we landed a rich husband.

You, who decimated the ambition of your youth to kowtow to a man’s ambition. No, you don’t deserve my respect as someone championing forward better choices for women. You exude privledge living a social lobotomy of your former self. [/quote]

You have issues. Therapy. Seek some.[/quote]

I’m happy. Do not need therapy to state a truth, I’ve observed. Many women stop personal achievements to raise kids. Their DHs don’t. If it’s equal work, why aren’t the men leaving the workforce. Because it’s not equal. Fact, you aren’t earning the money honey. Your DH got that factoid and its why he’s busy at a career, forgets your birthday and we all know the score. You as a woman decided to take a second seat. [b]If it were a desirable first class chair in life, men would be doing women’s work[/b].[/quote]

This is unfortunately true.  [/quote]

No it's not.

Here's a head scratcher for you. My husband makes seven figures a year managing a portfolio with billions of dollars of other people's money. He likes the work and finds it challenging and rewarding. The money strokes his ego.

But he tells me all the time that he'd change places with me in a heartbeat if I could make even half of what he makes (I can't - I was a teacher before kids). He has plans to retire early once he hits a certain net worth #.

Do you people ever get out of the house? It's all stereotypes with you. There are allll kids of people in the world and we're all different. We find different things to be satisfying. There isn't one way to live a happy life.[/quote]
