Also, you ignored the fact that while women do more work in the home, men work more outside the home. Enough to offset the work women do at home. Because men do work more on the job, it also stands to reason that they contribute more financially to the home. I provided actual data, not an uninformed opinion. Prove me wrong.
http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2013/05/29/breadwinner-moms/
Women are head of households at a rate of 40%, the statistics note that either as single parents, or making more money than husbands. Plus single women head of households or married carry the home responsibilites of cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping.
There are government statistics IRS or otherwise that show head of household info.
You are so wrong and have presented no evidence to back up your misguided statements. Like I said I think you have personal issues, maybe a woman boss who makes you feel bad about yourself or the mean girls in the office pick on you so you vent your frustrations on these threads. If true I feel for you but you are just wrong. Most everyone on this thread knows it. Just give it up and chill out. :-)
I have posted them and you just ignore them! I cannot debate someone who will not acknowledge evidence given to them. So, you are saying that I presented no facts, nor did I back up anything I said? I will let others reading this thread make that judgement for themselves, as it is plain for anyone with a functioning brain.
Um, I am getting emails from many people on here saying to stop enabling you as all you have done are make personal attacks without one iota of data to back up your opinions. As usual you are wrong again, I am not the one who is misguided and wrong here.
I have no boss, no one is mean to me because I won’t allow it. As for you, continue projecting your daddy and attention whore issues onto others, let’s see how it pans out for ya.
So obviously, if you remove single women from this number, there are not too many household where the woman makes more than the man.
Also, not one remark about my link showing how men work way, way, WAAAAAAY more hours than women.
I will re-post the data that I have already posted, you know since, according to your superior reasoning skills, I have not posted any.
Yes, women work, but they don’t make as much as men. Either that is true and the feminist BS about women only making 77% of what a man makes is also true, or women make as much as men and the feminists are lying. Which is it? And to address your whining about women doing more housework and taking care of the kids. This is because they can! Married women work LESS than their husbands, therefore have more time for household duties. When you combine paid work, housework, and childcare, today’s married parents both put in about 55 hours, according to a recent report from the Pew Research Center. It’s true that married mothers do more of the housework and childcare, but in most households this doesn’t amount to an onerous burden for them. That’s because most married mothers do not work full-time (43 percent work full-time) and do not wish to work full-time (just 23 percent wish to work full-time, a fact rarely mentioned in media accounts of work and family life). http://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2013/06/unequal-unfair-and-unhappy-the-3-biggest-myths-about-marriage-today/276468/
The above info is from liberal sources, which are going to give women as much credit as possible, whether it is earned or not. Because to liberals like yourself, women can do no wrong.
As far as your chef, maid, and babysitter BS is concerned, a man could hire such help and it would be much cheaper than having a wife. Especially when you factor in that the man pays more on average to maintain the household, as I demonstrated above by showing that women work less and earn less. Yes, women have made some progress, but they still, on average, contribute less financially to the household. Women earn more than men in almost a quarter of U.S. households, a huge leap from 50 years ago, when only a handful of women brought home more income, according to a study released Wednesday by the Pew Research Center. The above statement means that they earn less in 75% of households. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/05/29/pew-study-shows-women-leading-breadwinners-in-40-percent-of-households.html
I doubt you are getting emails as most people know that 99% of women are not dependent on men. That’s just ignernt as we say in Georgia.
Every study and all empirical data shows that it is totally untrue. They also know that “oh wait I was wrong and maybe its not 99% but its most women who are dependent on men” is also untrue. I’m just laughing. Nobody believes you because its not true. Give it up. :-)
Did you read the data? In 75% of homes women earn less than men. Yes, they are dependent! No, it may not be 99%, but it is ALOT more than you are willing to admit. I tell ya what, if women are so independent, let’s do away with alimony! No more alimony for women, cause as we know they are so much better than we lowly men are! Let’s have them take care of themselves.
Yes, again you are wrong, unless you can somehow see what I have in my inbox. Also, you wanna hang your hat on the 99% remark, what about the rest of what I posted? Nothing? Where is your data to prove to all of us that women are not dependent on men? I know where it is, there isn’t any! Prove me wrong.
Most overtime is not mandatory....so men can do what they want, but it does not mean women with children and home chores should do the same thing.
Besides women do not get paid to raise the children, cook the meals, grocery shop, laundry and other chores. Men couldn’t afford to pay for that if they lived alone in USA> until now, with the influx of illegals.
Don’t pat yourself on back yet....since a lot of those single parent women don’t get child support, and that’s a lot of losers on the loose.
All of us women are quick to praise the good guys, but they are few and far between.
Well apparently the poster in Comment #82 has conflicting data that kind of shoots you in the foot. :-)
I do not care if it is mandatory! it is still worked and contributed to the household! Women still benefit from it.
A maid is MUCH cheaper than a wife. I know from experience. So fool yourself if you like but that is flat out wrong.
I have not patted myself on the back. And yes, men who do not pay child support are despicable, as long as they agreed to have the child, they must pay.
Yes, and there are no gold digging, lying and cheating women! lol, that’s the best one I have heard all day!
I never hear praise for good men! All I hear in the popular culture and even on this site is what men are supposed to be doing to please women! All I hear is about how we men, especially white men, are a bunch or oppressors, or fools. I never hear or see a list of things women should be doing to please men. That’s because of the sense of entitlement many women have. They get what they want, and just because they are who they are, they are entitled.
“In 75% of homes women earn less than men.”
51% of women in the US live alone without a spouse so there goes the old 75% figure. Whats wrong with that picure. LOL!
Actually I used the same data, if you actually read it, it makes my point. Nice try, but wrong again!
We are talking about married homes here. Not single ones. But to my point, Women still earn less than men and contribute to the household less when there is a man woman household.
51% of women live alone now because men are refusing to get married to them. Why do that and become a wallet 5 years later.
And out of that 51% is a large population of elderly women who have outlived their husbands. And since the elderly are baby boomers, that number is very significant. These women are no linger in the marriage pool.Nice try, but the narrative stands. Most women are dependent on men. Also, out of that 51% number how many are old women living off of their dead husbands retirement or SSI? Nice try, but no dice!
“51% of women live alone now because men are refusing to get married to them.”
Another scientific factoid I assume. LOL!
“51% of women live alone now because men are refusing to get married to them.

Nah, I just see what’s happening in the real world, instead of viewing things through rose colored glasses.
M.G.T.O.W – Men Going Their Own Way is a statement of self-ownership, where the modern man preserves and protects his own sovereignty above all else. It is the manifestation of one word: “No”. Ejecting silly preconceptions and cultural definitions of what a “man” is. Looking to no one else for social cues. Refusing to bow, serve and kneel for the opportunity to be treated like a disposable utility. And, living according to his own best interests in a world which would rather he didn’t. http://www.mgtow.com/
Men are refusing to get married for a reason... Here is some data. Where is yours? LOL all you like, meanwhile reality tells a different story...
Well, there are gold digging ,lying and cheating women just as there are men. Yes overtime is work and money, however you may be happier with a maid, but marriage should be the correct standard for happiness.
I surmise you have not had any great intimate and fulfilling relationships with women that were equally satisfying. Women have the same disappointments with men. That is life, and life is not fair.
Most women I know, including me, appreciate good men who work and contribute to making a home balanced and peaceful. I will say women should set the tone in the home, however alcoholics and drug addicts do not allow their women to do that.
No we can never make a person do what they are supposed to do, and that means relationships fail. So find someone you agree with spiritually, financially, food, and recreation. “how can two walk together except they be agreed.”
My happiness is not dependent upon my husband, it is my inner soul connection with God that transcends life’s difficulties, that way my husband is free to be himself, as am I....we co exist with no friction for we do not make the other person responsible for our contentment.
Hopefully, you will find that balance.
