Vick, like peaches said, sounds like there's something going on that's not-positive. I hope you are ok. Hugs from down under ;-)
Hooper, I'm not sure how any of your friends could call you anti-feminist if you put forward the logical argument you just gave ...
As you've probably guessed, I'm fairly passionate about a woman's right to make choices for her own life - I don't think that means women should be aiming at taking over the roles of men, but at CHOOSING what they want to do with each day of their life.
I went to college with this girl, we both did the same degree, got similar grades, graduated at the same time etc ... when she finished, she started talking about trying to have a baby with her boyfriend - and a year later had her first child. Her choices seemed so foreign to me, as I was making huge leaps in my career & couldn't imagine why any woman wouldn't want to work their ass off to make their own money... i would visit her with ideas of websites she could run from home and make a few extra bucks or ideas to give her a 'life' - until I realized she couldn't imagine her life any other way. Her upbringing was in a very traditional house where what dad says goes - she didn't know (or want) to be anything but a mother & homemaker. We eventually drifted apart because we simply view our path in life differently and ran out of things to talk about.
She now has 2 kids, and the last time I spoke to her she was miserable ... partner didn't pay her any attention, she was bored, lonely and just generally unhappy ...
Sometimes I think I have my views on this subject clear in my mind, and then i talk to someone else and it all changes ... Its confusing as hell being a human being - everything inside us is animal, and yet we have to live by rules imposed for social reasons that go against our very nature.
We have rulebooks for housekeeping at all? Forget the difference between the 50's and the 00's - the 50's were fucked up too, just in different ways - at what point did apes end up with a rule book on housekeeping & taking care of your man?!
Wasn't the only rule supposed to be 'survival of the fittest'?
