[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People get used to a lifestyle or opportunities for their children that they think are needs (instead of wants), and they are turn about leaving a marriage that makes them miserable. They stay with men who have betrayed/humiliated then. They feel bad asking their supposed partner for money to do things, like he is their father. The power dynamic is just off.

And why teach another generation that men are the bread winners (doctors/lawyers/professors/engineers/scientists while still getting to procreate. Whereas women (despite having brains and expensive degrees), clean, decorate the house, arrange vacations and provide child  care O (even when the latter  is no longer needed, because children grow up).

Hard to see how children would have equal respect for those roles. [/quote]

For me the issue is not respect but presumptions concerning gendered roles. I do not want my kids to have them, period. SAHMs, [b]do you want your girls to be SAHMs too?[/b] Or envision being doctors/lawyers/professors/engineers/scientists while "still getting to procreate" and finding fulfillment as nurturing parents as well? Since those are not mutually exclusive.[/quote]

I'm not a SAHM, but I would proud if my daughter wanted to/decided to be one. Why wouldn't I be? More useful to society than most professors, and a happier lifestyle than most lawyers (I know, I am one). Why wouldn't I want her to be one if she wanted that? The key is she gets a choice. [/quote]

You are both off topic for this thread. [/quote]
