[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with her a 100% and I am a woman who considers herself a feminist. I think the push towards this modern gender-less society is not making anyone happy. Men have had their balls taken away from them by criticizing and demonizing every masculine trait. Women are now miserable expected to work long hours, make money AND have a husband and children. This is diplopia.

Women need love and attention and care. They are delicate creatures and they need to be kept well maintained. Look at Arab or Persian women. Thats how a woman is supposed to look. Their husbands keep them flush with money and comfort.

[b]This is where men come in too. They need to go back to being primary breadwinners and take on the hard job of earning a living.[/b][/quote]

Surely you realize that high paying "breadwinner" type jobs are harder to come by when you're competing with women for them. Not that I think it's a bad thing, but it is the reality. More men are edged out of high paying positions every day because more accomplished women are entering the workforce than ever before.  This is also why I think it's unfair to expect men to be "breadwinners" this day in age.[/quote]

Thats not true. Women still mostly major in liberal arts and education. Finance, engineering, banking and law are still mostly male. Also, women drop out of the workforce the minute they get knocked up.

I think the problem is that we as a society have prioritized "girl power" and economic equality so much that women have such less expectations of men. Women are willing to get those six figure jobs AND settle for some average joe who makes only 60k.

If women were more picky about their suitors, men would learn to go for high earning jobs. Women these days open their legs for anyone.[/quote]

You are wrong in every way. My law school class in 1989 was 53% women. I have worked full time other than maternity leave throughout raising my children, who are now all teenagers.  I expect a man who is a strong intellectual, respects women and also has good earning power. It's not his fault that I make more than he does (although I can assure you he makes more than $60K).[/quote]
