We like the idea of one of us raising our son instead of strangers at daycare. So I stay home. It's true that he works with men who's wives also stay home. He also works with men who's wives work, men and women with no children or husband, single parents, women who's husbands stay home and women who's husbands also work. Because in real life, that's what the workforce is made up of. Where is this 1950's workforce where all of the employees are married men with stay at home wives that you're describing? My husband is a feminist. So are his friends. There's no sexist grumble in his head. Men are not all like that. Some men actually like their wives and have respect for women in general. Your world sounds like a very sad place. Lucky for me I live in the real world, where all people aren't one thing. @politicalguineapig,

It’s true that he works with men who’s wives also stay home. He also works with men who’s wives work, men and women with no children or husband, single parents, women who’s husbands stay home and women who’s husbands also work.

Where is this 1950′s workforce where all of the employees are married men with stay at home wives that you’re describing?

My husband is a feminist. So are his friends. There’s no sexist grumble in his head. Men are not all like that. Some men actually like their wives and have respect for women in general.
Your world sounds like a very sad place. Lucky for me I live in the real world, where all people aren’t one thing.

They're also enabling the gradual testosterone poisoning of their husbands, which will lead to their husbands either dumping them for a 'new model' or becoming abusive. Trusting in people will always turn out badly. Maybe, but they’re still buying into the delusions that society wants women to believe.

I adore my kids more than life itself, but I also adore my career, and I would absolutely suck as a stay-at-home mom. However, I don't think some of the amazing stay-at-home moms I know are turning their brains into pudding ... @Politicalguineapig: As Nicole pointed out, some women choose to stay at home with their kids.

Men look at their wife, who stays home, and then talk to the other men in the office-also with stay at home wives- and the daily grumble of sexism that's in every man's head is reinforced, making the working woman's life that much harder. Men in a male-dominated environment end up getting poisoned by their own testosterone and lose empathy for anyone who's not a full-grown man. (See Catholic Church, Jerry Sandusky.) Women who act stupid in public also undermine women-they should be kept under house arrest. Women cannot be equal until they outstrip men in every way; working harder and better, being more willing to use violence and get dangerous, and not turn their brains into pudding by staying home with the kids.

That's about all I can say. It's so true. People need to stop attacking eachother, and fight the real enemy, and that really applies to feminists. I agree with all of this really.
