You are an idiot. This is what is wrong with modern feminism. I will take 1920's feminism any day.

Um, if you are staying home doing all of the childcare and homemaking as your end of the deal and your husband is making the money as his end of the deal then saying "our income" is totally correct. And I'm a working mom who contributes 50% to our income but still recognize that being a SAHM is a job.

No, it's not. So when DH gets a raise or bonus for finishing a difficult project or solving a difficult problem at work, does the SAHM get to say, "Wow. we got a raise because we thought of a really great solution to that problem/difficult project." No, she does not. And for those of you that'll come back here saying that by her taking care of all the household things she gave him the ability to get that project done. You need to compare whether he would have completed that project if he were a single man living alone. He thought up whatever that project entailed - he was the creative or trained or talented mind that did it. That's why she doesn't earn that income.

she has every right to share ownership of the bank account where that icome was deposited (OUR money, OUR accounts) and share ownership of the assets (OUR house, OUR cars) because she does work as a SAHM and contributes equally to the household. But it's definitely NOT correct that it's equally her income.

There is no legal shared ownership during marriage.

I could go on and on. I'm quite judgy, but know better than to tell people!

Ooh ooh, I am a mom who's always worked full time by choice. Do you think it's not really my choice, or that all women should SAH or WOH PT once they become parents? How totally weird.

I know it's totally your choice, that you could easily afford to stay home with your children and don't. That is why I judge. Women who truly must work to cover basic bills, I feel sorry for.

THIS. My niece joined the Army because she couldn't hack it in COMMUNITY COLLEGE and was a lazy douche. She shipped out for basic training in her fatigues and while she was walking through the airport people started clapping and yelling and calling her a hero. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. The only heroic thing she's ever done was take the bus by herself.

I am the first poster who said I don't like the Hijab. I actually am not crazy about other outward displays of religion either. But of course I don't think they should be banned.

I am all about freedom. And it's even more dangerous when a society starts to tell women (or anyone) what they can and cannot wear, than it is to have to see a cross or a yarmulke or a hijab.

I cannot deny the visceral reaction I have in my heart, and I have to work to overcome my reaction. That is my secret.

Unlike my conservative relatives who piss me off by saying the hijab should be banned. I would never support such an effort.

No it's 'ours". That's what makes marriage unique.
