On the metro (subway) today, there was an ad encouraging parents to talk to their children about drugs, and that this was an effective way to avoid drug use by your children. Now, I don't know if this ad was tax-subsidized (don't get me started), but this is indicative of a number of problems, relevant to this discussion. Am I saying that there should be ads to parents saying, "talk to your kids about marriage"? No, and heck no; I just wonder who's raising these women and men who don't understand marriage, family, child-rearing.

Put it this way, I am building a relationship NOW with my kids (all toddlers), and I am writing a private book to my daughter (and sons) about "what mom should and is telling you," so that I can pass along the wisdom I've gained (often the hard way). I'm sure my kids will make mistakes, but I'd prefer that those mistakes not just be repeats of mine, rather unique ones from which they will learn and grow, and hopefully be an even better person/spouse/parent/citizen than I.

Wake up, women. Think for yourselves. I am unfortunately still in the workforce (dad's at home), but I look forward to the day I'm "barefoot and pregnant" (I've got the pregnant part going -- just need the barefoot thing). And I'd tell those misandryst feminists and NOW extremists to take their propaganda and bury it (to put it politely). They can take their communism/socialism with them, too.

My message to the women in this country is that life is terribly difficult for most women around the world, so don't squander your blessings and your freedom.

"misandryst" and "fecundity" used in back to back replies....now this thread has potential. I'm mighty glad to have my Webster's handy. LOL
