ok first of all, she probably did have some sexual trauma earlier in life which made her react like that. and just because you meant well doesnt mean it came off well. if a guy started teasing me about my boobs, i wouldnt care.. but i know a lot of girls who would. just lay off and i dont know where the heck you live... but most of the women i know work full time, while raising a family. ALSO, just because a woman chooses to stay home and take care of her children does NOT mean she's lazy or unmotivated. You make it sound like fun, which means you've obviously never spent a lot of time around a mother with young children. Its a HARD job, and yes women are more fit to do it biologically (boobs. breast feeding.) there ARE fundamental differences between men and women and i hate when people try to pretend like there aren't. Women arent drafted, and less are in the army because OF these fundamental differences. On average (notice the word average) men are stronger than women. it would be stupid to think they could play the exact same role in combat. (and yes, i'm a girl so i can say this without sounding sexist. its not sexist, its the truth) I'm not saying women should stay home and bake instead of work, and that women shouldn't be IN the military. i'm just saying, there are limits! and stop acting like a woman who isnt working full time is being sexist against herself, and that women in combat would be the same as men. we can never come to an understanding about feminism unless people understand these differences. Yes women should be paid the same as men Yes we should have all the political and social rights etc. but YES women should be able to stay home and take care of children without being ridiculed. on the other hand, they should work full time if they so choose. feminism should be about choices, not putting women into another "role". God knows we've had enough of that. so basically, the lines of gender cant be completely blurred. i consider myself a feminist, but total equality doesn't mean complete disregard for physical differences. i'm not just making this up, there is actually an entire school of feminism related to understanding the limits of these biological differences. |

That's nothing a law can change. That is up to society to do, and unfortunately there are still people out there who still think like that. There are still people who believe a woman's place is not work as well as people who think women should work than men. That's just the way they were raised, and it's going to take tons of time and more than a wagging of the finger to change it.
He's just saying what we're all thinking. =D >_> |

My mom cooks, cleans, takes care of us, and works a full times job. Women are capable of doing anything they want to do but not many of them have a drive to do it. Just because they choose to stay home and be a traditional wife doesn't make them any less of a woman. My mom would love to be a traditional wife if my stepdad would get a fucking traditional job. |

This topic doesn't have to be grotesque to get any point across I think Rosie shows the best example of that (no, I am not bias. Anyone that is sane or has any amount of intelligence can look at her post and see that it is well-thought-out.) This would be an interesting topic to read if people would be a bit more insightful about the topic (there are a few that have been). So if at all possible please try to keep it clean. |

Be sure and tell her...

It's true. My sister has 4 kids and takes care of them 24/7. It is amazingly difficult. I personally don't want to be a stay-at-home mom (and at this point not a mom in any way ). But there's nothing wrong with it, and they work just as hard as anyone else, AND do it for free.

i know first hand that the job of a mother is hard. I was left to care for 4 kids when i was 7. not easy. how many of you can say the first time you changed a dipper was when you were 5? |

I can't stand babies. All they do is scream and cry and make life difficult, especially in public. If I do get married and my wife wants a child, we'll adopt somebody who's already four or five. |

that's what i always say if my husband needs a kid. babies are nasty. i hate that they can't talk. they drool and crap on themselves like retards. if you adopt a kid who is like four, you can pick one whose personality you enjoy and also make sure you get a cute one. who knows how ugly your own kids could turn out. i like kids because they are hilarious, i hate babies because they're barely human. why is it that animal babies are cute and human babies are so freakin' ugly? |
