[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really gross the way so many of you reduce women to the household labor they supply.[/quote]

If women like you don’t want to be reduced to the household labor then maybe they should get a job once kids are grown up. Doing household chores is in the SAHM job description, why would someone support and provide for a fully grown adult if the said adult can’t even manage the house?

This seems like such an odd way to see your spouse or anyone you love.

Do you really feel like you have no meaning or purpose in your existence outside of your job?  Or that there is no reason anyone could love or care for anyone else other than for what they get out of it for themselves?  
My mother-in-law is living with us right now while she is going through chemotherapy for breast cancer.  I can’t even imagine my husband saying this stuff to her, asking her why we should support her or let her live in our house if she isn’t cooking for all of us and doing his laundry.  
In fact, he tries to do things for her to make her life better because he loves her.

You think a man should expect the same of his young healthy wife as his sick elderly mother?[/quote]

No.  That’s not what I said.  That would be an unfair division of labor in a household.    But we weren’t talking about fairness.  We were talking about whether or not women have any intrinsic value as human beings outside of the work they can do for their husbands.  Either in the form of chores or providing an income.  You say that they don’t.  I think they do.

The sick, elderly mother can’t work and can’t manage a household.  Why would you support or provide for her?  What’s her purpose?  Why not just kill her off?
