Now you have convinced me that you are putting us on, seeking attention, and are probably ,,oh,,,17 years old.

Instead of attacking the messenger, consider the message.
A woman, once married, has the OPTION of quitting work and expecting the husband to provide her an income and retirement for life. An article on FR based in Great Britian stated that 58% of married, childless couples have households where the wife has chosen to not work. She need not do housework (that's optional), she need not produce children (that's optional) and she need not even continue to provide sexual gratification (that too is optional). If the husband divorces her, she gets HALF of his assets, and in many states continues to receive a portion of his paycheck for life.
A male has none of these considerations. If he quits working after marriage, he's labeled a 'bum'. If his wife leaves him, he has practically no chance of obtaining his wife's possessions, nor future income.
So, I have listed considerable issues supporting the messenger. Do you have a response other than a personal attack?
