[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey libs, I would like to continue this discussion, but I need to fix myself breakfast. Excuse me while I call my husband to ask him what I should eat.[/quote]

Cool, too bad the data doesn't back you up:

[quote][i]While 71% of women polled said it was “very important” for a man to be able to support a family financially, just 41% of women said the same about their own gender. Among white men and women, the number who said it was important for women to be able to support a family was just 27%, compared to 52% among black men and women.[/i][/quote]

[quote][i]The trend lines are disturbing: across race and education, the groups most likely to be able to support a family on their husband’s income alone – white women, and women of all races with a college degree – were the most likely dismiss the importance of women being able to support a family.[/i][/quote]

[quote][i]22% of black women said they wanted to hold powerful positions, as compared with just 8% of white women[/i][/quote]

[quote][i]Using data from the 2012 American National Election Study, her team analyzed responses from more than 2,000 women to the following question: “Do you think that what happens generally to women in this country will have something to do with what happens in your life?” Women who said “yes” were then asked to report the extent to which they felt that was true.

The findings showed unmarried women were significantly more likely than married women to answer yes to the question. And the gaps between how single women and married women answered were largest among white women and Latina women.[/i][/quote][/quote]

I believe you, and this article, are conflating two issues....
Women who want their husbands to support their family FINANCIALLY vs. women who think for themselves.

Just because a woman would like her spouse to financially support the family (theoretically so she can stay home and raise the family) does not mean that woman cannot be an independent thinker with opinions and views separate from her spouse.  [/quote]
