[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This type of gender balanced arrangement worked beautifully for thousands of years. No wonder there are so many broken homes today. Women are natural caregivers.

Devoting their lives to supporting their man, rearing the children, managing the the household is both honorable and sensible.

I am quite sure OP is very happy. Instead of being snarky and jealous are her healthy, feminine role, why not take a lesson. Respect the diversity of traditional values that she has represents.[/quote]

It was not an "arrangement" for thousands of years, in many cultures (not all) men had absolute authority of their wives, just the same as if she were cattle. It was a relationship of dominance, authority, and dependance.  OF COURSE a woman could never leave her DH. Throughout history many women never even had a choice of who her captor was going to be …er I mean husband.  Women in these roles are like children. Can a child leave an abusive parent? No, they are dependent. They have no choice, but to put up and shut up.

I'm sure this worked beautifully for the majority of the male population, however the SECOND women got a chance to break out of the chains, in a mass exodus we were out.

<b>Thank God I live in a day and age where I and only I am responsible for my own survival and welfare </b>and there is accountability for men's treatment of women.

BTW, you do not have to be submissive to be feminine, support your man, rear children and manage a household. I do that quite well in partnership with my DH.  Not sure why you think equality and femininity are mutually exclusive. Maybe you've had some bad experiences that have shaped your outlook.[/quote]

Did you intend to omit your children or is it really only about you?[/quote]
