than making lots of money themselfs is the main reason because men are more inclined to have a high income career and wifes to be stay at home moms with a part time job and not misgony and sexism, like most feminists believe ?

Maria which question did you answer to ? Certainly not mine. If you need a place to vent do it elsewhere.

2007-07-21 01:22:05 · update #1

Because men major in something that is actually of value and not womens studies or law to become the millionst lawyer.

Offkey fer christsake if I provide a link read the content.
"In short, having a man whose primary function is not as alpha male breadwinner, but domestic drudge just ain't sexy."

I mean it isnt just you ever so often I find myself having to spoonfed everything to women so that they grasp and understand whats going on. Thats why I prefer to work with men they are just faster in the head.

The link you provide doesn't actually support what you are saying. And your sentence is a bit dodgy, which is probably why Maria didn't really answer your question. I have to admit I had to read it 3 times to get your point.

I think a lot of women actually want to stay at home + part-time job when kids go to school until the kids are old enough to take care of themselves, but then would probably want to get a full-time job again. But not all, obviously. Some women are more career-oriented than others, and all that feminists want to do is give them the opportunity to do that.

I think the problem with being stay-at-home is the way people perceive it. In relationships, the one who actually brings money home often thinks he has done everything for the family (see what a lot of people say about men who lose everything when they get a divorce, as if the woman hadn't done anything). The men on the article you provided yesterday said their wife didn't seem to look at them the same way. I think it shows just that, and because there aren't that many stay-at-home men, some women disregard them, which obviously is not fair since they both agreed on the subject.

Edit: I indeed made a mistake, but I think it's understandable. The link you provided was set in the middle of the page, at the beginning of the comments made by readers. Considering that you had posted the SAME link yesterday, and since I had already read the article, I ASSUMED that this time, you were referring to the comments.

In any case, what I wrote actually answered your question. So I don't see why you say that men usually get it faster than women. You're the one who is always very biased, you know. If you read my other answers, I try to be unbiased. What's more, your sentence IS constructed in a weird way, but I'm not going to infer from that that ALL men have problems expressing themselves.

Your wife left you with the kids, right? Get a grip and stop harassing all women. Maybe if you did a little work on yourself you'd feel better.

Yes I think they are happier, for a couple reasons.

1. Having money relieves a lot of pressure and stress from a relationship. Financial hardship and micromanaging a budget can cause a lot of disagreement and stress in a relationship. When you dont have that do deal with it becomes a lot easier to focus on the things that make you both happy.

2. Typically through history the breadwinner has been the male and that is just what people have become accustomed to. It makes women feel like the male is their protector, and I think that outsiders tend to scoff at housedads. It might make some women feel ashamed that thier man isnt a MANLY MAN!!!

Well, sure, lots of women would love not having to work while someone else (preferably male and cute) funded their lifestyle. Lots of men would love the same thing if their wives did it. How many of us genuinely enjoy work and wouildn't want to give it up after receiving a whack of cash?

But the idea that this is the best choice is sexist. Some may say that it'll make the man feel good to provide for his family, but how long before he gets sick of his wife needing his? And it might be easier to stay at home all day than bust your butt at the office, but what will the wife do should the marriage fail and she has to go off on her own?

You started out with a coherent thought, but then it just became a stream of consciousness and you lost me. That really depends on the woman. I don't think that a man who makes "a lot" of money is necessarily an asset to a marriage, because he'd probably be gone all the time. Second, although it would be great to stay home with my child the first few years, after that, I'd want to go back to work, and a man who makes a comfortable living could cover that. Also, please don't assume you know what feminists believe. You'll be wrong every time.

*Well Dear, it was nearly impossible to understand your question, but I did my best. I believe you asked whether most women would be happier marrying a wealthy man so that they could stay home with the children and hold a part-time job. I said that that may be true for some women, but not most, and it wasn't true for me. As for venting, I don't know what you're talking about. Based on your comments, it seems the only person doing that is you. Not everyone is going to share your opinion on everything and that's o.k. We can have an adult conversation without hurt feelings or bloodshed I think.

I guess birds of a feather flock together. So, I've never seen a man earn more than a woman in my walk of life. I've seen lots when I was a financial planner. I think I remember 1 out of 100 that a man earned more than the woman. Again, I know that I attract people who are like me rather than different than me; so I admit this is biased.

My BFF earns $250,000.00/ year ... she flys in private jets ... and is highly respected in her field. Her husband sells water pumps and makes a respectable $50,000.00. He only earns this because she has told him three times: get a better career or I'll dump you. He's steped up to the plate, and now he has a career with which he is respected and he enjoyes.

My college roommate earns $75,000.00 a year and her husband earns $30,000.00 year. They're happy.

My dad's bff (nicknamed Chipmonk) works for the govt and earns a respectable $125,000.00. His wife owns a ski resort in Utah and is worth millions. They're very happy ... except they're trying to sell the ski resort with little luck which is straining them.

The Bible also teaches that a woman should be contributing to the house through real-estate, labor, manufacturing, marketing, and sales. Check it out: http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/proverbs/proverb31.htm

No, you don't need money to be happy. I am a SAHM, and when I started staying at home with our son, I had been the higher income earner. It took a LOT of sacrifice and hard work, and our lifestyle choices had to change, but it was all worth it!
Regarding feminism, the point is to have women SUPPORT one another's CHOICES, whatever they may be.

No one stays married anymore... we're heading towards a non-marriage society fast, so you might as well not get married. Them women in that article might have dumped their men anyways. You see it all the time. I say "Disregard the entire article" and never get married.

Well... why are men more inclined to have more money than a woman who also works? Hm?

Yeah. We've been working on that one for a while, and we still can't really figure out a solution. Isn't that nutty?

men are wrong whatever they do. Women are always right, no matter how illogical and stupid some are.
