Quoting KeithL:

But there is no need to ridicule women who also prefer this lifestyle.



If you are talking about Alameda, I would never ridicule her choice, if that is what it was. However, she does not support "CHOICE" and only sees one way - the traditional, role playing one. In addition, she does it in a patronising and arrogant way.

But you also believe their is no choice, be a feminist or else! And please tell me your responses are not patronising, arrogant or I will add one, insulting?

I am not saying "be a feminist" because it just seems such an outdated thing to say, to be honest. Is it wrong to assume that everyone will consider women have the same opportunities as men?

I really don´t understand why you can´t agree - maybe that is my problem. It seems perfectly acceptable to condemn racists, but you are considered an extremist if you condemn sexists.

Your posts on this subject always make me sad Libralady - because everything you enjoy now, your career,even the right to walk into a pub and not be condemned for it, is because of women who would not just accept the "status quo" and fought for equal rights, despite being ridiculed and insulted. You really surprise me

Forget the word "feminism" and just think "choice". I couldn´t care less if women want to take on traditional roles as housewives and mothers - it is their choice. What I really detest is when women defend that decision by condeming those who DON´T do the same as them and intimate that their children will suffer as a result and that their marriages are less happy, they are going against biology by having careers or by swapping roles of primary carer with their partner. These smug women fail to appreciate that the many freedoms they enjoy, even as housewives and mothers, are SOLELY DUE to the women they despise.

Why don´t we argue about the shrinking role of men for a while? Do we really need them anymore? Can´t we just keep a few around as studs? This argument about women is getting old. lol
