This is a serious question. The reason for this is I'm 22 years old and married. I love the thought the 1950's and the woman's place in it. I believe that a woman's place is to "serve" her husband. I also believe that a lot of these "woman's rights" issued that have been dealt with have lead to the destruction of our kids. Women need to be at home that is their job. Why is this not acceptable anymore? I know a lot of women are going to read this and be furious with me. Please don't be. I just want to see if there are people out there that still believe in old tradition. I would love to hear men's point of view on all of this. Thank you and please don't be rude. :o)

I absolutely agree!!! I think that women should consider it a privelage that we don't have to be drafted!!!! I mean I understand a woman getting a good job and everything. Don't get me wrong. However, I do not think that women should be frowned upon just because she wants to be submissive to her husband. I think that women should be able to serve their husbands without so many issues being raised. I mean, I personally want to get a good job and earn some good money. But, I also want to come home and make my man happy by baking, cooking, cleaning, etc... I also do not plan on having any children so having a job won't be an issue. But I absolutely agree... Submission should be accepted still.

Oh I wish. I am a mom & been married for 11 years & have always worked since that is how my husband & I were both raised. I have had the opportunity to work and be home since I had lost my job in the past & decided to stay home for a year w/my toddler. I found that I loved it. I loved being a housewife & a mom & treating my wonderful husband like a king..HOWEVER it wasn't feesable because we want more out of life & it takes more money..so, we inturn decided that we will both work and put so much family time into play afterwards. We have a great relationship & family...our daughter is 8 & she is very well rounded so I have had the best of both worlds & at my daughters age it doesn't warrant me to be home full time. I guess it really comes down to your preferences. Women's rights are in place because we women are out in the work force since times are tough and most women have to work. If you can live like it was in the 1950's, great for you & God love your husband.

I think any human being who thinks they have the right to lay restrictions on any other human being should themselves be deemed inferior and lesser then and treated all the differently for it.
Now look, I don't care what you do with your life. After all I don't place restrictions. But your comment of "Women need to be at home that is their job" is just plain out right reprehensible. The point of feminism was that there was no choice. You have the choice! Of which you seem to feel rather passionate. But what gives you the right to question everyone Else's?
The next time your cult meets please do the world a favor and have a big old glass of cool aid. OK?

I agree with slave2luv, submission is a choice. I believe its stupid for a woman to practically be her husband's slave. Submit to anything he wants and stay at home with the kids. Be real. This is 2006, not the 1950s, the roles of women changed and I think you're too old fashioned. That's your life so live it. I believe a woman should work, have a good career and cater to her hubby. I think a man should work, have a good career too and cater to his wife. Why should a woman have to get on her knees for a man, he should get on his knees for you. I think men and women should take care of each other in a relationship and love and do things for one another too.

I agree with old tradition, but only to some extent. I don't agree that a modern-aged woman should have to give up her values just to cook dinner, and sometimes families can't provide for what they have, thus needing the extra money of a working woman. I do believe, though, that women should stay home for their children until they're old enough to take care of themselves and care for a younger sibling, if this applies.
However, if that's the life you would like for yourself, then by all means, enjoy!

Everyone has a role. Often roles chance over time. Dominance and sibmission are part of a relationship and a woman needs to submit sometimes.
But submission is selective. You need to weigh carefully the time and place. A man will be stronger if allowed to be. He will assume more roles and this makes them feel good, valued and worthwhile.
Submission is often an illusion to keep him thinking he is in charge and making the decisions.
I make all the little decisions in our house and he makes all the big one....there haven't been any big ones yet.

St. Paul addresses this issue in the Bible, in Corinthians. Paul basically tells the early church that a man is to love his wife and a wife is to reverence (respect) her husband.
Generally, a man's greatest need is to be respected, while women want to be loved.
Even though the 1950s was romantic, the feminist movement accomplished a lot of things for women. Women who want to have professional careers are now free to do so. Women who want to be homemakers can do that too.

i am quite traditional in my way of thinking BUT what about the suffrogets who starved themselves for women to get the vote and equal rights if u want to "serve"your husband go right ahead your choice i also think that the downfall of society is partly due to children not having mothers at home more often but i have seen dysfuntional children who have had their mothers at home and its not made any difference.sometimes women go to work b/c they have no choice otherwise their families would not survive as well as they do so if u r in the position that u dont need 2 work -lucky u not everyone is as lucky maybe if the cost of living wasnt through the roof we would all be able to b so self rightous

Im not going to be rude.I am a stay at home mom and keep the house running and all.But there is a certain point in a wifes life where she needs to step back.We as women are not mens servants.I will help my husband and be there for him but I refuse to be his personal maid and i refuse for him to order me around and treat me like a child.We should not be looked down upon we should be looked at as there wives and there equals.

As a man, I much prefer women who aren't afraid to stand up to me. The "50's Woman" was always a societal myth, don't watch so much nick-at-nite if you believe it. Unquestioning submission is not old tradition, even among women; it's a symptom of abuse or simpleness.
