Any woman who subjects themselves to being a house wife at this age in time, letting the man handle everything is not only degrading themselves but spitting in the face of every woman in history that fought for our rights.

I disagree. I think that if the woman has chosen to take care of house and children, they should be given the same respect someone else gets for working 50+ hour weeks. All jobs are demanding, including taking care of a household. I’ve known and know plenty of people who are proud of what they do, whether job related or housewife related, and if my family can afford at some point for me to stay home and take care of children that may come, I definitely would do it!

Now those who are forced into it are another story. Those that make the choice, though, more power to them!

its fine to make a choice, but if the man forces a woman to hand over all the money etc then no I wouldn’t agree with it. As a woman myself Im very independent and I’ve seen alot of my friends be pushed around by men.

I think it is fine to have traditional gender roles, refreshing even. I have always wanted to be a stay at home mom, have the time to really make my house a home and take care of my husband. I like that we have our roles laid out and we don’t need to worry about who is bringing home the bacon and who is supposed to do the dishes that night. I love it. He is anything but a slave driver, if I need help there he is ready to dry the plates or help me with supper. In general though I like to take care of him, I don’t think it is fair that women today feel its low to take care of their man, take care of their family. Everyone is in such a hurry and women are so busy trying to get ahead. What about the kid being raised by day care? is that fair? (unless both parents have to work due to money problems) in my opinion those are the children that end up watching too much TV or spending too much time on computers, they have or feel that have little attention from their parents. I say a return to the 1940′s to 50′s ideal is called for, if only just a little.
