Why Women Need Husbands

[Unkotare]

Where is it written that it’s solely the responsibility of a woman to keep the house in order and cook.

Has anyone here said that it is?

My awesome powers of deduction...and reading some of the posts on this board.
.

You need more than that upon which to base sweeping generalizations.

You're right, I did something I usually hate reading myself....generalizations.

How's this: With some of the men I know and have talked to in regards to dating/ relationships, and comments made on this board, it seems to me that men want a damsel in distress. Someone who needs their help, that they can go "save" or fix. Makes them feel all manly with taking charge and making the decisions.

Do you believe this type to represent the majority of all men in society?

I do believe it is probably about a 75/25 split. That yes, 75% of men are like this. Maybe I am wrong, and I hope I am. Since that leaves little hope for someone like me. I dont need help or saving. Would I like a partner to come home to that we both put in 100%? Yes, of course. Who wouldnt? But honestly, I am 36 and the options I am seeing out there are very slim.

A provocative (perhaps) opinion piece, about which I imagine there are some opinions here.

Women, men, marriage, family, independence, technology, welfare, education.......it impacts many aspects of society.

Why women still need husbands | Fox News


"So why not let husbands bring home the bulk of the bacon so women can have the balanced lives they seek? There’s no way to be a wife, a mother and a full-time employee and still create balance. But you can have balance by depending on a husband who works full-time and year-round.

I know what you’re going to say. Where are these husbands on whom women can depend? And you’re right: there are fewer men these days who seem eager to be primary breadwinners.

But ask yourself why, and I bet you know the answer."

I do just fine on my own without a man...and without any sort of finanical assistance. I manage to pay the bills, feed and clothe my child and still find time to have a social life.

But maybe thats why I am single... men want the damsel in distress.

In the Middle Ages, Knights were the causes of Damsels being in distress.

Children do better when there are two parents. But having a father that teaches his daughter that a woman's place is in the home (barefoot & pregnant) is teaching his daughter she is worth less.

Do you think a woman who chooses to be a stay at home mom and raise her children rather than have a big career like her husband might find it somewhat offensive that you think she is "worth less" than him?

Getting the children ready for school, feeding them, changing the baby, cleaning the house, doing the grocery shopping, and putting dinner on the table is hardly a cakewalk, I would imagine. It may not bring in a $100k salary to the family, but I'll bet it's just as stressful. Do you really think that makes her worth less than her husband?

He obviously views stay at home moms as worth less. But apparently were the ones who hate women.

Piss on him.

Oh please! You are gonna try that after pages and pages of the vile crap you spewed about women who want a career or who don't want to be subservient?

Come on, tell us why you never answered my simple question?

You said a woman would be insane to not want to stay at home if you made a good living. But when I asked if your wife made more money, would you stay at home and take care of the kids, clean the house and cook, you refused to answer. I asked you over and over and over and you refused to answer.

I have no problem with any woman who chooses to stay home. But you don't want to give them that choice. And if they do choose something different, you make some outrageous claim that they are "turning men gay".

So don't even bring your lame lines here.

Sometimes you find the right person by being the right person.

There might be single dads out there who are too busy to look or date but they need someone to help them in their life.

But you think they are worth less. You even said so, you said someone who encourages their daughter to be a stay at home is teaching her to think of herself as a worth less.

So the question here is, why do you look down at stay at home moms? Why the prejudice?

 

[Katzndogz]

Of course women need husbands. Someone has to take out the garbage and pick up the dog poop.

When I was single I avoided men that had children lurking about. They were always looking for a convenient baby sitter while they go off to do whatever.

Are you going to answer the question I asked? I have answered all the ones you have asked. And you are wrong in the statement above.

Are men worthless who stay at home and take care of the children while the wife works?

No they are not. And I do not think any stay-at-home parent is worthless or worth less. I think telling daughters that they need to do that is telling them that they are worth less. I am willing to bet the same Dads (like Iceman) who would tell their daughters that they need to stay home are telling their sons they can be anything they want if they are willing to work for it.

I have been a stay-at-home Dad. It is tough as hell.

And I'd bet the farm that Iceman wants a wife to stay at home, but if she had a better job he would never agree to stay at home while she was the breadwinner.

I don't care who stays home, but if it's affordable I think one of the parents should, it does make it nicer for the children at least until they hit the teens

Why not answer the question? Of course by now you have shown your cowardice, so it is really not an issue.

Yes, the father is telling his daughter she is worth less (not worthless) because the father is telling the son that he can be anything he wants to be. Taking away the women's choices so the men can pursue their careers is telling them that their dreams are less important. Actually, it is telling them that any dream but dreaming of being a Mommy and a Wife is wrong.

And Iceman, if you were willing to stay home and let your wife bring home the bacon you would have said so after the 1st or 2nd time of my calling you on it. So not only are you a chauvinist, you are a coward.

I agree. But I also think it is something that each couple should work out. It shouldn't be "That is the woman's job".

 

[Drumhead]

In older days long gone by, women were expected, by their parents, to get married to a good and decent man who would love and care for their daughter. In some cultures this was arranged by the parents solely. They wanted a man who would also protect their daughter once she left the comfort and safety of their household.

My parents, part of that older world (but not the arranged marriage stuff), explained to me the extension of that. The man went out and slayed dragons all day, bringing home what was needed to support the family. He had the full burden of making that happen. And his wife had the responsibility of looking after the family and the house. My mother saw her responsibility as being greater than that of her husband (my father). Why? Everything he worked so hard to provide for her and their family was left to her to maintain, because those were the most valuable possessions they had - family and a homestead. And she joked that my father would screw it all up if it was his responsibility to do all that stuff.

The sense of family, to me, seems to have eroded. Divorce rates rose, and then the system that worked so well for all the prior generations, was now producing real problems. Broken families, and just as badly, women who were left with little or no job skills, and given a partial amount to live on in the form of alimony. Women had no choice but to do what they have done for the last few decades. Demand equal pay for equal work, and so on - and rightly so.

So the new trend of a woman needing a husband... not sure I can follow that as well anymore. Need should probably be replaced with want.

All that written out, the one thing that I do not think has changed, deep down, are the emotions and feelings. We all want to feel loved, and luck-hope-fate, be loved. Hopefully we never lose that, or else we're doomed.

Both parents should share equal responsibility for sure.

 

[ClosedCaption]

Women don't need a husband any more than a man needs a wife. Get married because you want to spend your life with that person.

Why are men not encouraged to stay home and to have their wives provide for them?

Because that goes against your very fiber of being a man.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Oh please! You are gonna try that after pages and pages of the vile crap you spewed about women who want a career or who don't want to be subservient?

The ONLY one who has suggested that women be subservient is you.

It's a straw man you have erected in your war on the family.

Come on, tell us why you never answered my simple question?

Do you feel that men are required to answer you, due to your natural superiority?

I have no problem with any woman who chooses to stay home. But you don't want to give them that choice. And if they do choose something different, you make some outrageous claim that they are "turning men gay".

Do you hate men?

So don't even bring your lame lines here.

Irony...
