[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be better if we reverted back to the old ways and I didn't have to take care of a sick baby all day, and work, and then after putting said baby to bed, drive downtown and work more until 3AM.  All so I can live in my 1200 square foot home.

How freaking ingenious - who is the moron who fought for my right to kill myself working and being a mommy at the same time with a child who is always sick and never well because she is in some F-ing daycare rather than with mommy?  And because most women work now, home values are double what they used to be as a value of average salary compared to average home price.  Today, the market expects two people will work to pay for a home.

Being a woman today rocks!  [/quote]

You make good points, which will be glossed over and buried by something else.

Feminism and patriarchy are two sides of the same coin. They both oppress women, just in different ways. Now instead of being a slave to your family, you can be a slave to your boss.[/quote]

Oh please.  Being a slave to your boss is something many men have had to deal with since... I don't know when.

When people started being dual-income, they initially didn't press as hard for wage increases (since they had all this extra income), thus household income didn't change much, which means INDIVIDUAL income has stagnated ("hey we can get by if I didn't get a big raise, thank goodness my spouse's income is there").  So people got used to needing TWO income to support a lifestyle that used to be supported by ONE income.

Which means bosses (corporations) pocketed the difference.

BTW, feminism fought to let you have the options to work or SAH (aka needed a man to survive).  Being a divorcee in the old days often meant poverty and destitution.[/quote]
