DK: If it's impossible for women to have career/children, shouldn' t...... |
|
the same thing be said of men?
Sorry, it's the 21st freaking century, and men want/ need to be just as involved with the kiddies as women are. :(
So men are automatically great parents and career holders/breadwinners, but women are crap because they do both? I mean, what, they expect women to live off welfare and have kids, HELLO, you need some kind of income to raise them???????????
I'm tired of uppity faux feminists/uptight women putting down members of their own sex.
What else can I say?
Oh, like JLO, can't you be bloody grateful for what's been handed you? You crass, vulgar twit. :hide: :rant:

2. True, there is a bit of a double-standard. |
|
Movies like Mr. Mom get lauded while totally overlooking what women have been doing throughout all of history.

4. you're absolutely right, it's still like the 50's in that respect. |

my dad worked 12-16 hours a day and was a better parent than my stay at home mom. so go figure.

Being a great parent depends on your character and efforts, not whether or not you work inside or outside the home. :)

6. right, and it exhausting the level of supervision and activities people |
|
are expected to provide their kids with these days. even though my mom was full time, she'd be arrested for negligence in this day in age. i don't know a single mom whose husband does anywhere 1/2 of the work or spends nearly as much time with the kids. these are otherwise enlightened men, happy to leave their partners holding the bag. it's still the norm.
