Where have the old fashioned women gone?

Question

You know, the kind that stay home, cook, clean, take care of the kids and treat a hard working man with the respect he deserves. Is it so wrong to want to return to the values that made this country great, before feminism screwed it up.

Answer 1

Your question made me laugh when I read it, why? Because I am 65yrs. old but I am still young at heart, meaning that I see the brighter things in life. I remember when my Husband and I were Married I had to wash our clothes with a tub, and wash board to clean our clothes. As the family came along it got harder and harder to wash our clothes, but I persevered, and when my kids were a little bit older that is when my Husband decided to buy me a washing machine. I am a better Wife,Mother,Grandmother, and a Great grandmother because of it. Do I have any regrets NO! I don't, To answer your question about where did feminism gone? My guess is that through out the years as Women became more knowledgeable and smart and they figured that they were able to compete with Men in the Labor Market, is when they decided that the old way had to go. I have Five Daughters that are educated and they all work, and take care of their Husbands needs, and their kids,and household chores, I even got to finish my education later in Life and even entered College. So, have some faith in us Women, some of the old fashion ones are still around you, men need to look for them.

Answer 2

I think that its more of the man's world that made women who are "old fashioned" pretty rare, I am like that but we struggle still, I cook, clean, wash, anything he wants I'll do, its just sometimes its hard for women to just sit there and watch their husbands struggle to pay the bills, I think that most of the men who are with women who work get threatened and thats how feminism started, I think either way is okay but I think that old fashioned women should make a comeback, because things would be a whole lot simpler, I am glad that I can keep my husband happy, hes in the military so I am very busy doing things that he needs done.

Answer 3

I do this, and it's the hardest thing I've ever done. On top of that, people tend to disregard you, believing you are unimportant and boring once you tell them you stay at home.

There certainly are days when this feels like a completely thankless job, I just have to keep convincing myself that it is worth it for my family as a whole.

I'd say the reason why many don't want to do this is because there is absolutely NO glamour in it, and it's hard to be respected when you don't "work". Also, there is the fear that you will no longer have marketable skills once you do decide to return to the workplace.

Answer 4

If the man can make enough money for the woman to stay home and be comfortable financially and not disrespect her and not try to control her every move because he's the one "earning the paycheck" more of us old fashioned woman would be thrilled to be at home watching our baby's first steps and first day of school and so on....it is not fun going off to work when our kids are sick but we can't afford to take the time off or use our earned time.

My hard working man gets the respect he deserves and his hard working woman gets the respect she deserves----lets not forget that respect is earned from both sides.

Answer 5

That's how my husband and I are, and I'm only 26. I don't care if people look down on it or say that I'm oppressed or anything like that. I love the whole 50's housewife thing. I have a college degree and have a business I operate from my home, but I take pride in my home and making sure my husband comes home to a clean house and dinner and an adoring wife. It has nothing to do with not having my own "identity." Anyway, I digress. Those girls are out there, you just have to find them!

Answer 6

Haha man are you ever dead on the money, feminism sent this country straight to Hell in a handbasket a long time ago. Now look at the state of things, every aspect of the media obsessively shoves it in everyone's face that it's ok to be a worthless whore. Single Mothers are quite literally a dime-a-dozen and of course it's the *MAN'S FAULT* that they're single of course... Divorce rates are astronomical, bi-sexuals and lesbianism have become so socially acceptable that hardly anyone even considers it a big deal anymore, and the list goes on and on and on...

I don't know what to tell you man, somewhere along the line it just became the cool thing to do for women to hate men and only really trust other women... and it's been a growing trend for a lot of years now. Women are a hell of a lot more concerned about how cute their azz looks then they are about showing they are beautiful on the inside where it matters.

And for the ladies who think us guys love to drool over bimbos like Pamela Anderson, pull your heads out of your behinds and think again. There are a lot more decent men still left in the world than there are scummy ones. The same can not be said for women though, not in my opinion.

Answer 7

You can do all that and work I do and I would say I am pretty old fashioned and I am only 27. So keep looking dude there are good women out there, you can still be a good housewife and still have modern liberties, some women just use it as an excuse, but men should still help around the house as well, it should be a partnership.....but I still prefer the old school home cooked meal every evening.....

Answer 8

I stay home, take care of the kids, cook, clean and do laundry. I also get up 1/2 hour before my husband, make his lunch and coffee. I take him a cup, place it on the nightstand then wake him up. I lay out his clothes every night so that all he has to do is get dressed. I have supper on the table every night. I was brought up to do this. My mother did these things for my father til the day he retired. My husband doesn't make me do these things. I do them because I love him..

Answer 9

I tried staying home and taking care of our two kids with my first husband. We had sex every day, two or more times a day, so he had no reason to cheat but he did. I did all the cooking, cleaning, etc. He started spending our money on drugs, didn't pay the rent, couldn't keep a job, started being physically and verbally abusive. So I divorced his butt.

Then my second husband made a pass at my 14 year old daughter just four months into our marriage, so I divorced his butt.

Then my third husband got lazy three years in to our marriage and I had to support both of us most of the time. Divorced him too.

Where have all the good men gone? I actually found a good man that I plan on marrying some day. A great father and a great boyfriend who makes twice my salary, treats me like gold and we have lots and lots of great sex.

Answer 10

My brother Aiden has an old fashioned woman like that. She was supposed to leave her boyfriend and fall into my arms, but that little sneak came along and got her before I could. Keep looking, they're out there, these elusive, good women who aren't caught up in the web of feminism.
