No certainly not. We are in an age of equality now and its a fact that women go to work and also a fact that men can choose to stay at home and raise children if they wish to do so.

There are many options available for families as far as work and childcare goes. Women hold many high responsible, high paying jobs. Men can train in child care if they choose to. Many people remarry and bring children of all ages together to make new families. Some children begin going to day care from the time they are babies. Some mothers do choose to stay at home until their children go to school. Some fathers do.

There are no hard and fast rules. All we have to do is what is best for our own families, our own life situations, our own needs. Lets not be sexist about such a thing as who should raise the kids and who should not.

The whole picture is as follows.

A woman's instinct is to consider the home the nest of the family. In this regard, she is more picky about how to decorate the home, worry about the kids and so forth. A man cares much less about these things. In the animal world, females not only hunt to feed the young but also rigorously defend them.

The idea that women were not smart enough in the outside world and should therefore be bound in the home to take care of their men is arbitrary and often designed by religious or cultural traditions. This idea has been proven very untrue in the western world.

Overall, men and women can achieve a balance in the work force and the political world. Attempts to force women in their homes and deny them of their contributions to the whole world will only do disservices to the mankind. It'd be like cutting off one of our hands.

You still living in the 40s? It hasn't been that way for a long, long time.

Do you earn enough money so that your family has the needs and some of the luxuries of life? Does your wife have some spending money of her own, like an allowance or something? Or does she have to come to you and ask before she buys herself a magazine or pair of shoes?

What would be so wrong with both partners earning the money, and sharing the home responsibilities as well?

The days when the woman stays at home have long gone, although I believe there are some cultures that still think the woman should stay at home, children or not. If the woman can find work and contribute to the household income then let her work I say.

I agree that women should be in the home if the man can afford it. I don't think that every couple has the choice for this.

I think that a woman should be given the same choices as men. But I also feel like that is a decision to be made AS A COUPLE. If it would be financially beneficial for her to stay home then that should be their decision. If she has a career that she can do from a home office, then that should be their decision. If they decide she should stay barefoot and pregnant, that should be HER decision. Point is, this is America. We have the freedom of choice.

A womans place is only in the home when she is having a day off from work having meals prepared for her & the house cleaned by her husband.

Nope, it depends upon the woman. Sometimes the Man's place is at home, depending upon the man. A REAL man would agree. Because REAL men aren't threatened by non stereotypical male/female roles.

disagree. either of the two can stay home or none at all. well paid couples can both work & pay for a nanny for the children or one of them manages the 'home'... and regardless of the gender. man can stay home & manages the household equally good as a woman just as the woman can bring home the bacon too.

No, I think that when a couple have children one of them should stay at home with them while the other goes out to work, generally speaking though a woman is better at household work because our minds can cope with more tasks at once.
