even as a child, with parents. thankfully i had parents that got that and were able to raise me without that factor.

Wonder if they know that women were in power before man got all huffy and "put them in their place".

I am a woman - I work - I have a family - I drive - I think for myself - I am woman - hear me roar!!!

have to do it all.

easier to read a book. not fair though

She likes driving and I like drinking

i have always said, what works for each of us is uniquely our own. you two are working as a team. lol

think, hope, and pray for. Right-wingers, for their own benefit, just love to keep
people under their control - period. Their behavior shows this all over the place.
It's so obvious to everyone, except themselves

More loser moaning and groaning...

a woman-hating, reichwing male would write.

But, of course, I'm a guy and my Adam's apple is not very visible either.

All snark aside, which I do enjoy writing, if I were a woman I'd really be pissed with this person. Actually, as a man I'm pissed with her. We men like to "build things and kill things?" That is the most sexist, absurd thing I've heard lately.

I grew up on a farm. You know what? I hated hunting and I hated slaughter of the animals. No, Ms. Venker, I did not and do not like killing things. Yep I do eat steaks and pork roasts and chicken and turkey. Yep, I realize animals were killed for that food I eat. But I still take no pleasure in killing animals myself. Just I guess I'm like all those frail women you want to protect who don't kill things yet they're happy to cook them. Making the overly broad generalization that "men like to kill things" is insulting.

If you're so concerned about gender roles then why don't you get off TV and find a good man you can cook and clean for and pop out some babies and stay at home where you belong - in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant?

Reading that bullshit makes me want to puke... and I'm not even a woman.

That is what I said to my husband before the election. He should have tied me up? He should have divorced me? BS, and we have been married 38 years. Take that, Faux News! BTW, he doesn't watch you anymore!!!!

If she truly believes women should be totally feminine then why does she vote?

If it's not, she should just put on her burka and get it over with. Nobody is in charge of me and a real man wouldn't expect it. A real man wouldn't feel threatened by a woman more successful than he.

to find that out. Shocked, I tell you.

that sounds like it was out of the 1950s, not 2012. Or, maybe 1912?

Where does it say that a woman that is succesful at work isn't feminine? In fact, I'd go for a complete 180 - a woman that is willing to capitulate and surrender is less likely to find lasting love. And, considering that the more conservative southern states have a higher average divorce rate than the more liberal northeast, facts seem to back me up.

The 'woman's place' has been altering ever since the Industrial Revolution when some women found employment in factories and offices, and the suffragette movement gave women the vote. WWII caused a major jump when women replaced men on the assembly lines for the planes and tanks.

There was a lot going on behind the scenes in the 'normal' 50s! June Cleaver really was an obsolete stereotype from the beginning. All the various social movements that we associate with the 60s were already in progress. They just surfaced in the late 60s.

liberating!

I felt like I was reading something out of Ladies Home Journal from the 1950s, reading that snip (I won't waste my time on the whole thing).

I wonder how much she gets paid to write such drivel?

I mean, really. Some of them, maybe, are that big of drooling idiots. But mostly, I think it is whatever serves to get them eyeballs on the screen and advertising dollars (or Euros, whatever).

Their only reason for existing, as far as I can tell, is to promote the corporatocracy and stupefy as many humans as possible. That's it. They're good at what they do.

The cynicism and hypocrisy over there is bone-deep.

They've just captured Phyllis Schaffly and the three members of her bridge club.

of dick morris and rove.

it's a 50-50 proposition.

Since giving her my permission wouldn't affect her, I figured hubby's permission would be more effective on her weak mind.

when she was on The View this morning. Whoopi and Joy would have gone off on her. She stayed within ceertain parameters and they didn't attack her for her radical, lunatic rantings.


This is the sort of shit that keeps men as inhibited in their relationships as it does women. For me, one of the most wonderful things about being in a relationship with another human being that I trust, is being able to be vulnerable with them. It allows for an unprecendented honesty.

I own the power tools in the family and my husband takes care of the computers. Other than that, we don't lock ourselves into roles proscribed by society. He'll make a meal if we're hungry and I'll change my own tire and love it.

There they go again.

Lumping an entire gender all into ONE category. Because this author may want to be dominated, etc. she believes that ALL females feel the same way. And if any of those females don't feel the same as her, she believes something is wrong with them.

What in the hell is wrong with simply letting people, regardless of gender, live their lives the way they feel is best as individuals???!!!

Sheesh...I feel like Leave It To Beaver is going to come on the television any minute.

It's OKAY for people to be different.

seem to like things very black & white. If you start saying everybody is different, it confuses them in their black & white world.

and keep me barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen!

Or not walk into an oncoming bus?

she would kick me in the balls.

When the statistics reflect that divorced women don't end up almost all the time with all the child care
and the expenses as well, when divorce with children stops dropping women into poverty
while simultaneously increasing the standard of living of the men, then I might stop
saying that. Right now, though, as Clinton said, It's just math...statistics.
So ladies, CYA, just common sense.

and go home to wait on and service her man.

I'm sick of anti-feminist women who go out and get careers and jobs while preaching that other women should stay home.

You know how hard that would be? It would take waaaaay too much energy, time, stress, wear and tear. I'd rather spend that time and energy doing other hobbies and let her do what she wants.

Fox News makes me sick: and they say there is no war on women. Ha.
