I think Fox News is more devoted to objectivity than the mainstream news is. Fox News obviously has a right wing bias but they have liberals on all the time and debate them one on one. Mainstream news outlets almost never allow conservatives to debate with them.

@SJG
It wasn't the right wing media. It was the left that caused it. I only started watching Fox News after I was convinced the SJW ideology was dangerous.
The SJW ideology is extremely tribalistic and seeks to destroy everyone that opposes it. Even people who are not SJWs can act like them in instances where they consider a person's opinions to be "offensive." I don't think you understand how dangerous this ideology is to you, even as someone who agrees with them on many things. The reason why I keep bringing up the short skirts and makeup argument is because you also hold opinions that SJW types will consider offensive. And if you give them enough power, they will want to destroy your life for those opinions. The right does not have the power or will at this current moment to do that. When they do, you will see me ranting against them as much as I am opposed to SJWs right now.
There are opinions on both the left and right that I hold dear to my heart. On the right, preserving traditional notions of love, marriage, and the family is most important to me. On the left, I don't know if you're aware of this, but I believe in completely equal moral value between animals and humans. Not equality in the sense that we allow cows to run for president. But I believe that any creature that feels pain, suffering, and pleasure deserves to be treated with the same moral value as any other. I don't think we should see lower intelligence or less developed brains as an excuse to abuse them. Its why I committed myself to vegetarianism at an incredibly young age and have never looked back.
One belief I hold dear, however, that will switch depending on which side of the political spectrum I think is threatening it most, is the idea that your opinions should not be used against you as a person. People should be allowed to toy around with ideas, debate them, and discuss the merits and downfalls even of things that are insane and radical without having people hate them and try to destroy their lives. If a person cannot debate something without trying to destroy the character of the person arguing against them, trying to make them suffer real life consequences for their beliefs or hurt them in order to make them stop believing it, then it shows how insecure that person is in their beliefs.
I believe on some level you agree with this as well. Which is why I think your continued support of SJWism simply comes from not understanding the way they really are.

When has Trump said anything even remotely anti-gay? He's like the most pro-gay Republican politician I've ever seen. I seriously doubt that he wants to threaten gay marriage.

That's not the reason why she was offended. She was offended by me saying I have a preference for girls that have traditionally feminine traits of motherhood. Anything that smacks of traditionalism offends a lot of young women.
I think what you described falls under the category of wifely duties lmao.

Yeah I don't really care if it bothered her. If hearing somebody think differently from her bothers her that much then she needs to learn to not be that way.

I can agree with reality in plenty of cases but I am designed mentally to look for holes in popular opinions. And this is for the better that I look for those holes because someone has to. If nobody is designed to think that way, we're fucked.

A poll by Washington Post found that "part time work" was the most popular option among women.

In Japan where housewife role is considered more of a respectable job, 34% of women polled said they wanted to be housewives. Given that less Japanese men were actually cited as wanting their wife to be a housewife who stays at home all day than women were cited saying they wanted to be one, it seems to me that we're getting more of an accurate picture here.
https://japantoday.com/category/national/1-in-3-japanese-women-want-to-be-housewives-poll
This tells me the majority of women probably don't want to be unemployed housewives but that a significant minority would if it was more respected. Thus the 30-40% number. The 50-60% number comes from the Washington Post article saying that its the most popular option among women. They gave 50% so I expanded the possibility a little further.
I suppose it could be amended that the number likely to want to work full time is between 10-15%. Or perhaps even 10-20%, but I doubt that it would be higher than 20%. And I also doubt it would be below 10%. If a woman really wants to work full time though and its really important to her, the dad should either work part time or stay at home because two parents working full time is a bad idea.

My estimations are that if money and social factors were not at play, 30-40 of women would be stay at home moms with no employment, 50-60% would work part time, and 10% would work full time.
I mainly think it is a bad idea for two parents to work full time.
It is a lousy criteria but people like me serve a purpose of making sure that group-think doesn't get out of control if we enter a certain group. Its not going to be accurate every time, but we do serve a purpose. Sometimes people like me can poke holes into things that nobody thought of. If I say something is stupid and claim you're only agreeing with it because you're following the herd, and you decide that a popular idea really is the right one, then you've listened to criticism, gotten the opposing view, and thus have a better informed decision.
But it would be stupid to place me in a position of agreeing with the majority which my mental state is not designed for.

I mean we're not going to force people to do anything, but there's definitely a large segment of the population who have grown up being told it is sexist. Housewives are frequently attacked by people who essentially claim that doing things like that is the female version of being a cuck. Thus leading some women to not want to be a housewife out of a feeling that it isn't a respectable way of life or that they are betraying women by doing so. I'm saying that logically speaking, there's no reason for this perception given that the housewife lifestyle or at least, working part time and not full time is what the vast majority of women actually want due to the much lower levels of stress that these lifestyles entail.

There's also way more entertainment options available nowadays than there was at the time it happened though. There's so many entertainment options available nowadays that boredom seems unlikely. My mom has certainly never been bored with all the books she reads and video games she plays. At this point, if you have internet access, you have access to almost every book, TV show, and game that's ever been made and its only a click away. If you want to socialize with other people there's lots of clubs for that you can find through the internet. Neither my mother who's been a stay at home housewife for close to twenty years nor my recently retired father has had any trouble entertaining themselves without a job.

I'd be willing to bet that drug use is much higher among strip club patrons than it is among the general population as well if you adjust for age. So your average 40 year old man who goes to strip clubs is much more likely to be a drug user than your average 40 year old man who doesn't.

@RickDugan's observations have always been mine as well that strippers are simply far more likely to have risk taking and novelty seeking personalities.
I have said that girls' concerns over being slut-shamed are a bit exaggerated these days. In most of the social circles where promiscuous behavior is common, it is very taboo to criticize women who are promiscuous. But I do think that strippers suffer from a special sex worker stigma that doesn't apply to promiscuous girls who sleep with men at bars and clubs. Sex workers are in an unfortunate middle ground where neither side of the political spectrum is really on their side.
But I don't think the stigma causes drug addiction and I don't think that stripping causes it either. I think that certain lifestyles just appeal to certain kinds of people and lots of times, certain behaviors tend to go alongside one another.

She will definitely have enough money for that kind of thing. As well as cool vacations. I have three career paths available for me in the future. All of which look to make pretty decent amounts of money for lower-middle amounts of work.
@RickDugan
You're not wrong. But a lot of people these days claim that they are sexist. Right now we're having a pretty calm discussion but I made a similar post on another forum and got blasted for it. Which doesn't make sense to me because the biggest result of them is that women have significantly less stress and get to spend more time around their children.

I don't need to make a huge amount of money. I'm not really trying to make as much money as possible but rather enough money to provide a nice life for everyone in my family. The way my future looks working those kind of hours will be unnecessary to make sufficient income. That kind of helps my point though that we should have an economy where one parent working or at least only one parent working full time should be enough rather than having an expectation that both parents work full time.

Because lower wages happened after second wave feminism, not before it.

@Gawker it is functional but not optimal.
@RandomMember the stress of a full time job makes it much more difficult to do so. It's going to be harder on average to devote time to your kids if you work full time.

I do agree that the poor always have and still do work harder. Because its impossible not to. Middle-upper class people often have cushy office jobs where they can fuck around on the internet or chat with co-workers in the coffee room half the time they are "working." The poor may not work as many "hours" but they have to actually be working almost every hour they sign up for with the exception of smoke breaks. Now this obviously varies company by company. I worked for one company where they were so insistent on people working that they would hire people to pretend to be customers and watch the employees. I know another company where both the workers and the managers slack off and have conversations with one another during working hours.
But it always amazed me when I go on forums like these and onto internet based video games to see people, who claim to be at work, playing video games for literally hours at a time. I don't know how this works but people slacking off in offices is such a problem that its actually got a term. Its called cyberloafing.
The poor don't usually get to cyberloaf at work. And many poor people have two jobs because they don't make enough money to pay the bills unless they do.
I do sympathize with the poor. Saying they are poor because they don't work hard enough is just mean, and it invalidates their suffering. But I also don't see how the situation can possibly be different. No society in the history of the world has ever eliminated poverty. Poverty exists in every single country. Fortunately, in the US, we have a relatively low poverty rate compared to a lot of the world hanging in the 10-12% range. Compared to a country like Pakistan where 45% of the population lives in poverty, this is a huge achievement. Communism has never worked to reduce poverty and make life better for the poor. China's poverty rates when it was communist was absolutely horrifying. China's move towards a capitalistic economy is responsible for taking almost a billion people out of poverty. China used to have 88% of their population living not just in poverty, but extreme poverty. It was obscene. And now the extreme poverty rate is only 0.7% and their relative poverty rate is more like 15-20%. Still higher than European countries and higher than their neighbors in South Korea and Japan, but compared to Africa, Central America, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, China is not doing too shabby. Whereas during the 1970s, you might have actually been better off living in the Congo than in China.
Anyway, my point is, capitalism has its downsides. Poverty sucks. For people going through it they have my deepest sympathies. But Capitalism is the best system we have and Capitalist economies have worked better than any other at reducing poverty and making the lives of the poor people we do have less miserable than anywhere else in the world. I don't see a better alternative available than what we've got. And I think that too much idealism can backfire really badly and make the lives of the people you're trying to help much worse than it would've been before.
