Women wanted to be free to live their own lives and in exchange have given up the priviledges of being women. Why would a woman trade having a husband and family and having time to take care of and enjoy them for a life of endless "relationships" with no future or a marriage and family life in which they are too tired from working to spend time with their family and spouses? I feel women's lib has benefited men more because now they can have free sex with no committed as long as they want and when they do marry, they expect their wife to work full time and pay part of the bills instead of taking on their role as providers.

Amen, sister!
When women stood up for their rights, they lost their seat.
It's disgusting that many men are now afraid to even hold a door for a women for fear of being berated.
It used to be that one person's income could easily afford to raise a family. Now, the only way for most families to survive is for both parents to work. You can thank the libbers for that.
I once saw a girl at a McDonalds tear down an old man who was holding the door for her. He was trying to be sweet and gentlemanly, and she fought with him over who should hold the door. "You're much older than I am," she said. "I should be holding the door for you."
She had no concern for how much she hurt this man's feelings and made him feel old and useless. She just wanted to assert her liberation.
Libbers, please just say, "Thank you," and walk through the door. Other people have feelings besides you!

Wow...you have a really limited and somewhat skewed picture of what Women's Lib really means.
It has VERY LITTLE to do with sexuality. The sexual revolution came along at about the same time women started speaking up for themselves, so it's not unusual to discuss these things in the same conversation...But they're definitely not the same.
Women's Lib is about treating women equally in the workforce.
Before the Women's Lib movement, none of us were able to make these choices. The only choices for women in the workplace were nurse, seamstress or schoolteacher...And if you weren't lucky enough to find a man who wanted to support you, you'd have to pick one of these limited fields to work in, or perhaps prostitute yourself out just to make a living. The Women's Lib movement now allows us to be doctors, lawyers, executives, or any of the many things that were previously limited to the men of this world.
Women's Lib is also about women having the ability to CHOOSE. If you prefer to stay home with your children, and your husband is happy to support you, then GO FOR IT! You are liberated enough to make that choice on your own.
However, some women prefer to earn their own way through life, instead of being dependent on someone else for everything they need. Through Women's Lib, they now have the ability to CHOOSE that lifestyle.
Women's Lib doesn't mean that any of us HAVE TO do things differently. It just means that now we have options.
I certainly would prefer that the men in my life treat me as a human being, instead of a piece of property. If I ever have the opportunity to be a stay-at-home-mom, I will thoroughly enjoy it...But it will be important to me that my husband continue to treat me as the equal human being that I am. That's what Women's Lib is all about.

I'll keep the freedom to choose which life (or both) that I want, thanks. I wouldn't want to go back to the days of women having two career choices: teaching or doing secretarial work. I'd rather do it my own way. I have a career and a family.
If two consenting adults agree to have a sexual relationship outside of marriage, I think that's perfectly fine. I know several women who have no interest in being married but want a sexual relationship with someone they are compatible with. Nothing wrong with that IMHO and it's not my business what they do.

I completely agree. I'm glad to be a member of a Church that believes in those old-fashioned values and that those values are the way that God expects families nowadays to hold to. My husband does want or allow me to work outside the home, which I think is delightful and wonderful. However, I have a sister-in-law whose husband forces her to work and in fact threatens that if she quits her job, he'll quit his also. Isn't that ridiculous?
Although I'm grateful to the women's movement because I get to work for a newspaper (from home) without any complications or trouble because of my gender, it really has hurt a lot more than it helps. I have friends who think selling themselves to any man willing to buy them dinner is acceptable and appropriate behavior. Pornography is a booming industry because women are "free" to show their bodies. Women are more second-class now than ever, because they've lost their feminine allure and qualities in trade for this sex-crazed, self-depreciating society.
Tragic, isn't it? Thank you for being the exception to the rule, and realizing that this isn't how it ought to be.

This is not an either or. I have a great, successful career, a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I am fulfilled. I have achieved on my own merits and still have a home life. It is true, I have boundless energy but I put that down to keeping fit. And my husband does his part, we both look after the kids. After all, he is also a parent.

I love your answer, but I think there's quite a few women that are going to be MIGHTY unhappy with you.
