I Dont Believe In Dating Just For the Sake of Dating

[c=#7700B2]feminists will hate me for this but I wish relationships were kinda like the old days.. you get married, have a faithful hard working husband who provides while the wife stays at home looking after the kids and cooking and whatever..

lol I say that but I would never allow myself to rely on someone financially like that but its a nice thought.
I love playing with kids and enjoy cooking.. It all seems so much less stressful compared to these days..

ahh the thought is nice at least[/c]

[c=#BF0080] Agreed! You make a good point. Sometimes I think we are so liberated we are enslaved lol. Women today are expected to do and be everything to everyone and we can only do so much. I also think too often people think that if they are for women they need to be against men and that's not right. Loving women doesn't mean hating men. It's hypocritical and doing the same thing they so hate. Balance is key. I mean I believe in equality, but I just don't feel it always has to look the same for everyone. Like why does staying home and taking care of the house and children make you less equal or valuable then working outside the home? Both are work, both are valuable and both are equally important. I don't see how that makes you less than or some second class citizen. I think it's more of an attitude change needed then anything else. I believe equality means we all have the right to choose what is best for us. If a woman wants to work great, if she wants to stay home, great! I don't see anything wrong with traditional gender roles as long as people respect both and are happy that way. I'd enjoy staying home. I think it's very hard to do both effectively, people can only do so much. I think it's a blessing if a couple can afford to have one of them stay home. Not a curse. It's a lot of work to be a stay at home parent. I am so thankful my Mom stayed home with us. Timeee with kids is so valuable. So anyway, I agree with you and would ideally enjoy it too but would unfortunately be anxious being completely financially dependent on someone else like that. Either way, people should do what is best for them and their families and not judge other people's choices. To each their own! 馃拋馃徎馃槆[/c]

@PrettyPoison: I have tried to speak balanced, act balanced, judge balanced, act balanced. Even often my balanced words will top someone in a disagreeing manner. That's on them not me. To many people think the promotion of one thing is the demise of another. Having grown up during the early feminist movements. I saw "equality" and "choice" the theme. Not equal outcome, equal consideration. Not just these choices, any choice.

@PrettyPoison: You wrote: "why does staying home and taking care of the house and children make you less equal or valuable then working outside the home?" Most men I know admire women who stay at home and look after the children and the house. They certainly do not look down on them. In my experience it is more working women who look down on homemakers.
Times are changing. (Thanks to the feminist movement) it wasn't always that way. And some men are still claim Ning to a patriarc domicile. @Mugin16:
