[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So sad that any form of family life is frowned upon by so-called feminists. I think you should start your own colony. No men and of course no children. No domestic duties at all, no interdependent relationships, definitely no manicures or yoga pants, only high paying, "important" careers. 
You will need to recruit from the outside world of the rest of us lesser-than-thou actual real people. I mean since you cannot bear children or the burden of caring for them.  That's patriarchy! But you will need an intensive training system for your new recruits as the will be coming from a variety of backgrounds. 
Seriously I think you should consider this. [/quote]

I don't frown upon it at all. Child rearing is very important. But I think we need to be realistic that it has consequences on women in the workforce. America has a lower rate of women working than Europe for instance. That has an effect on women in the workforce being treated equally. And if we really do think our men should  be the primary providers, should we not accept them at higher rates into colleges than women? Women really do not need to attend college just to be mothers so then how much should college be subsidized? I think these are still issues our country is grappling with. [/quote]

What should I have done then, not go to college and work some low paying job from 18 till I get married? No thanks. I made a lot of money in all those years in a high income field, and that helped me bring substantial equity into the marriage. Being educated makes me a better Mom. Being educated makes me a better citizen. Being educated is better for me personally, for my kids, for my community.

You can say that childrearing is important out of one side your mouth, but when you say that SAHM don't deserve an education you know how hypocritical you sound, right? [/quote]

I think we as a society need to learn to educate our girls better. These days we tell each and every little girl that she can grow up to be an astronaut, a scientist, a doctor or a lawyer but we also stress that along with working hard in school, competing with colleagues at work for promotions and bigger salaries, they should also keep in mind to NOT wind up single and alone in their 30s and beyond.

So what happens is girls do very well in school, get good grades get into top colleges and then go on to take spots and scholarships at top professional schools.

Then you have the overmedicated big law attorney who is 31 and really truly just wants to get married. She meets a fellow big law attorney, gets married, promptly quits at 34 to stay home and have a baby. A few years later you will find her at your local barre studio with her huge diamond ring, tiny waist and expensive Lululemons working on her "seat."

This is not fair to men and women. Girls need to early on be coached on what kind of life they desire. Not every woman WANTS to be a SAHM not every woman WANTS to be a powerful CEO. We need to weed out the girls carefully when they are younger. Direct the maternal, home making types into lower tier schools where they can study fashion or liberal arts and their moms can help them find a high earning alpha to marry and have children with.

The ambitious brainy girls who want more, should be directed to better schools where they can get their degrees and run fortune 500 companies. These women would then, upon marriage, be less likely to drop out. Not every mom wants to stop working. We just need to as a society stop investing resources into women who only want to be SAHMs.

Similarly you have [/quote]

This is brilliant!!!! Should we have some sort of screening system? Should we permanently sterilize the "brainy ambitious" group? I mean, they don't have the right to change courses once we have educated them, right?

And is there going to be intelligence screening as well as beauty standards for the SAHM track? I mean, lets be honest, dumb and ugly isn't going to get that group far, so they really should me mandated to obtain an education in a less prestigious field like teaching or being your babies nanny.

The hot ones who want to SAH track have a much better shot at it, so lets not group those two together.

You see how ridiculous this is, of course.

-attractive woman with a high earning career who left it without a sorry glance to raise my three kids. Good seat. [/quote]
