I know all us women should be submissive li'l housewives who stay at home, cook for our darling husbands, and have fifteen children. Perhaps in order to ensure that women get married, we should bar women from college. After all, how dare they get an education? It's just ruining society.

Yes, I thought if I pressed your buttons, I'd get that kind of response. :-)

The problem is not with women being educated--my wife has an IQ of 150--but of being propagandized by liberals, and telling themselves that whatever they are spoon-fed is "education".

Try reading the short essay "Are Women Human" by Dorothy Sayers. She was a British mystery writer who had a Master's in English from Oxford, and who wrote the classic Murder Must Advertise which appeared on Masterpiece Theatre. Her point is that the classic feminist shriek about "the patriarchy keeping women imprisoned at home" is a bunch of balderdash. The problem is that maintaining a home has had many of the challenging tasks taken out of it, not by men, but by the process of general industrialization. Why select fabric, dye it, weave it, tailor it, maintain it when you can just go down to the mall and buy it "off the rack"?

For the nonce, many women who have entered the working world have discovered the "dirty little secret" their men kept from them, concerning the working world. Working for a corporation SUCKS. My wife points out to me the many women at her job who absolutely HATE working but have to continue doing it, because they can't afford a decent lifestyle otherwise. (See also double-income-no-kids competing with them, easy credit terms which raise the bar on what people *think* they can afford, and confiscatory taxation to provide government support for those who do not bother to take care of their own needs.)

Cheers!

Sounds good to me but you forgot the part about keeping the house clean (grin).

Anything that breaks up the family unit is ruining society, one unit at a time. Sorry, children were not meant to be produced with a turkey baster to make some selfish woman feel loved.

Not one person said a word about women not getting an education.

Of course, women should be educated.

You will understand about raisin children outside the traditional home when you grow up.

It beats hardass executives who are never at home, never cook for their bastard husbands and put their work ahead of their kids.

Oh, your poor future husband....

Sigh. Grow up. Really, just grow up.

My wife has an extraordinarily high IQ, was in a demanding specialty in the Air Force when I met her (how many folks do you know who can operate doppler radar) and finished second in her nursing school class with a GPA over 3.9. But when our son was born she stayed home and cooked for her darling husband because that's what was best for him. No that she's a nurse she outearns me for the first time (though hopefully that will change as my business gets rolling) and I'm the one home with the kids; we home school. They have never been in day care and we have had to make sacrifices but I will never regret it.

Here's what I mean about growing up. If you're going to marry, either now or in ten years, you and your hubby need to resign yourselves to a period of five years or more where you have only one income, or you shouldn't bother having kids. That's what grownups do. People who act like the world can't survive if they don't run to the cubicle each day are not grownups.

Wow, what a sad statement... Here I am, a female college-educated programmer and all I can think about constantly is staying home and having children. But I guess I'm just submissive and uneducated....
