[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there is one thing I have learned from reading DCUM, it is that women despise men who are unemployed. [/quote]

Wouldn't you? It's a tale as old as time that men should be the breadwinners. But recent Forbes poll indicated that 29% of American households have a female as the major breadwinner. They don't take into account however the different percentages of single working mothers, lesbian parents, or heterosexual married working mothers. [/quote]

Because the entitled attitude of the DCUM crowd is ridiculous.  Is this 1965 or 2015?  The middle class is dying and women expect a powerful breadwinner to keep them in comfort despite macroeconomic trends.  Right, and I deserve a supermodel who is going to keep the house clean.[/quote]

I don't think anyone is suggesting go back to 1965. The options are not a) 1965 model with woman completely and permanently out of the workforce and b) man=woman=2 full-time careers model.

The best option for most people is keep living expenses inline with man's income and woman works when it's feasible depending on age of children. Many women are happy to contribute and want to do so. No woman wants to feel the pressure of having to keep things afloat. Instant and total killer of the sex drive.

There are 2 realities make this unavoidable:
1) Stressed out women don't want to have sex
2) Men don't want to be married to someone who doesn't want to have sex.

So, those 2 facts need to be accommodated. They ain't going anywhere. [/quote]
