 I can help you with that.. I really appreciate your situation..

 

What I meant was not really to say, women should be uneducated, or slaves.. but what i meant working is not everything... you can not jugde the woman equality, or happiness with having a job.

 

And I really don´t like the attitude of people, who work and thinks they are more worthy, more educated, more intelligent then a full time mum..

 no, i dont think i go wrong. it depends on your attitude, if you are a mother type of woman, you should stay home. it is wonderful to see your child growing. but it shouldnt be only your concern, it must be shared.

and i feel sorry for those women, do their husbands earn little? why do they make their own life so hard? i dont understand it.

 

 Because of women like you, who think that they will be considered uneducated and  slaves of their husbands.

 

By the way, i was feeding my husband.. sorry i was away..

Just a quick question, if you had all the money in the world, and you had a husband and kids, would you be waking up everyday to go to work?  Or just stay at home and enjoy?

 

There lies the answer......

 I am hoping alameda can clear this one up for you!

 

 

 Hmmm....in reading this thread I´m reminded of a recent article from National Geographic on the demise of Neanderthals. I have not found it online, but in the printed issue.

 

I did find this:

 

Gendered Division Of Labor Gave Modern Humans Advantage Over Neanderthals

 

It seems the more "modern" Cro-Magnons utilised the concept of labor division and thus the females took care of the home hearth and children. The Neanderthal women worked the same as the males. The outcome was the children were less well cared for, less nourishment, subjected to more dangers, thus this added to the extinction of Neanderthals.

 

Anyway....it´s something to think about....hmmm?

I very much agree with that statement. I do think it´s wrong to base someones quality on how educated or successful they are in their careers. Seems very shallow of people to ask shortly upon meeting you what it is that "you do" (referring to career).

That being said, I also think it´s wrong to assume a working mother would be any less of a mother because she has a career.

 

I think it is the best of both worlds to have the choice, and that is where the non equality of women comes from. The fact that men have ALWAYS had the choice.

 

Yes merih, the woman is the "host" and the one giving birth, but she did not get pregnant alone, and should be allowed the very same options as the othe responsible party
