Women who describe themselves as being career driven as weird as fuck to me.like
future POTUS and Senator in training
Retired Queen Troll of TUSCL...who will succeed my reign?
Its like women talk about equality; but at the same time, they put labels on themselves such as being "career driven", as If such a title makes them different .
Having a degree doesn't make you uniquely career driven ,bc the only difference between you( degree earning woman) and the housewife is that her "career" is taking care of the kids bc that's what makes her happy, whereas your career is about research, running a business/law office bc that's what makes u happy . y'all are both "career minded" lmao .
Got something to say?

-sorry if this post was anal!!! U guys r rude
One of the things I quickly noticed when I graduated from college was the lack of women with comparable college educations in the work place. Some said that they were in the Helping Professions, so that I was not seeing them. But what I suspect is that they tended to be housewives, and so that most of what they said when they were in college, was bullshit.
Also, following on Icey, I hate to say this, but I am very critical of the popular idolization of mothers. When you find cases of Muchausen's Syndrome By Proxy ( now simply Medical Child Abuse ), usually you will find a woman forced to give up a fast lane career and to accept domesticity, and so she is trying to justify her role.

And then like Simone de Beauvoir always said, for most women, "maternity is an inauthentic choice."
Domesticity sucks, and often it is many who are forced to pay the costs of it.

Mothers are awesome.
Well mine is anyway.
Perhaps the most vitriolic attack ever launched on the American way of living - from politicians to professors to businessmen to Mom to sexual mores to religion - Generation of Vipers - ranks with the works of De Tocqueville and Emerson in defining the American character and malaise.

In the Middle-Class Family, it is the children who are the exploited workers, being used to give the adults a public identity.

Most women today do not want to be solely defined by that role. I would say that a woman who claims that she wants that should be looked upon with suspicion.

Like they had said, "You are only one man away from destitution."
Read "The Women's Room" book.
Women used to be trapped in horrid marriages just because of economics. The divorce rate is still very close to 50%.
So you suggest a woman who sees things differently, probably her perceptions are based on some very unreal things and some very concerning assumptions.
Hey sorry to say, but some women make a life out of driving their child to the doctor.

But apparently the side that wants an economy that will allow men to make enough money that a family can be raised on a single income and the woman can be with her kids; and for women to be able to expect a loyal, loving husband in her future instead of growing up in a culture that expects them to be passed around from guy to guy like a fuck toy are the ones oppressing women?
And today, the idea that they should be full time with kids is a religious right reaction.
And no, it is not the Right which wants a single income to be enough. The Right may say this, but it is completely untrue.
Sorry CC99, but you live in a world of Right Wing disinformation.
Another good book, Faludi is with the LA Times.

CC99, you are under the influence of a fair amount of Right Wing Total Bullshit. Need to do some critical reading on your own.

There is a backlash in play.
Remember, Bill Clinton enjoyed a Gender Gap, big boost because women were going for him.
But Al Gore only enjoyed a Marriage Gap. Single women going for him. But married women who like empty platitudes going for Bush.
LISTEN TO FALUDI!

It is oppressive to expect a woman to be dependent on a man and to stay at home with kids. What happens if he dies or they divorce? When the kids get old enough to be home alone? A woman shouldn't have to sacrifice leaving her mark on society so she can have a family.
If you really believe women are your equals then you'd realize that. Its more egalitarian to respect her right to work and go to school, be a mom and everything while letting her be submissive to you than thinking you have to protect her lock her up barefoot and pregnant ....
Being a mom and having a full time job is incredibly stressful. I don't want my wife to be stressed out and exhausted because of the dual burdens of motherhood and a career due to the fact that feminists have made her feel like she's "oppressed" if she doesn't. Nobody really wants to work. If a billionaire came to me and said he would pay me $150,000 a year for no reason you think I would get a job? You work because you have to. Its better when a team's roles are split so that you're not both so stressed out and exhausted at the end of the day that you can't enjoy your lives.
Any marriage that begins with the premise of "but what if we divorce" is almost bound to fail. If I marry a woman, I expect to be with her for the rest of my life and I expect her to feel the same way. If her reason for wanting a career is "what if we divorce" then that calls into question her commitment to the marriage and I will have a problem with that. I don't want to marry a woman who's already got possibly divorcing me in the past of her mind.
Yeah, work is a necessity and women need to work too....
Feminism is simply the movement believing in women's rights and equality.
Try affording a family on one paycheck....see how stressful that is.
No one goes into a marriage expecting divorce but the reality is there.
Expecting a woman to stay at home with kids isn't about having different roles, its about her giving up her life potential.
In France they have Universal Childcare. It is not mandatory, but it is free. Whereas in this country Child Care is to enforce the Work Ethic. In France it is for the benefit of the child, and so most people use it.
A woman who wants to be home full time with her kids, to me she sounds either neurotic or depressed.
