Don’t Call Me a ‘Housewife’…OK! (ツ)

I didn't realize I was getting out of hand.. I'm thinking of starting a few plants though.. Can't ship him this stuff though, not sure if it's strong enough anyhow.

What's to say? The grass is always greener...

Too late . . .

Perhaps it is you who should do some reading. No one said that women never worked outside the home. However it is an undeniable fact of life both in the USA and Canada that the number of working mothers and working single mothers has vastly increased as a relative portion of the female population compared to what prevailed prior to (say) 1975. Moreover the number of families sustained by two working parents has also increased significantly as a fraction of the total. These changes have had significant social and economic effects in terms 0f child care, school hours and the direct costs of rearing children and - some would argue - the average quality of life for child rearing. I haven't suggested that the direct and side effects of this rather profound change are all bad - only that the result has been less than an unmixed blessing.

Perhaps I should have pinpointed the fools in question, terribly sorry I lumped you all together.
Once again, women have for centuries worked outside the home or took work in. Women working is not the downfall of "man"kind and there are a ton of reasons why prices have risen. Leave it to Hawkeye to make the correlation that men are suffering because of a false ideal. It never really existed but for a very short time and place in history. Men aren't failing university because women are succeeding, or that there are more women working for equal pay, perhaps they'd rather work in the trades or aren't interested in the humanities. Blaming women for all the sins in the world gets tres annoying. Maybe next he'll be blaming his own obvious failing on brain damage, maybe mommy didn't just drop him but she threw him against a wall... Regardless, I blame her for him, 'cause if any son of mine had that attitude, I go all rosemary's baby on him too.

I think you are opposing an argument that no one here has yet made. I earlier noted that my two married daughters are working professionals, and are rearing young children at the same time, and that in many ways the demands on them are far greater than those on previous generations of women. This observation was offered in part to note that the "advances" and "liberation" achieved by women in the 1970s were not an entirely unmixed blessing. Young women today do indeed face a broader array of personal challenges today than previously and have fewer social protections with which to sustain them in child rearing than did earlier generations of women. It is true that they have greater opportunities at work than previ0usly, but , as I said, it is not an unmixed benefit.

Setaanta followed that with an uncharacteristically illogical rant about President Reagan, and I responded by nothing that the social change in question (at least in this country) largely occurred before the Reagan presidency began.

Exactly what kind of drugs do you have, Ceili?

ohh open your mind already

thank you>> i may not be as well written as you but these are the points im trying to convey

my dear. You really need to try going further back in history. Perhaps even prehistory. Just do what the "creator" intended for you and all else will fall in place. Ill tell you, if i attempted conceiving a child the "creator" would be sorely upset. And too would really f things up

My mind is open. But you're hilariously amusing. It appears that if someone does not agree with the drivel you post, you will condemn them as close-minded. You can't beat this place for free entertainment.

glad you enjoy it>> and most of the time im pissing my pants when i write some of this ****

Your scatalogical dilemmas are neither entertaining nor a subject of any interest to me.

what happened to the free entertainment.. and only a tool would own a Pomeranian

The free entertainment is still there, it's just that you peeing your pants is not a part of it. I do not own a Pomeranian.

And the charm school dropout shows why he's still a virgin...

A definite thumbs-up on that one, Ceili. I'm about to turn 73 yrs old (or young, if you like). So I'm from that generation where idiots like mcgonagle and hawkturd would assume I had a mother who was a housewife and nothing but. Guess what? I don't recall any times in my life when mom didn't have a full-time job outside the home, often working right alongside dad. But I come from a European background, you see, where this was in no sense unusual. My mother worked in an office until her retirement at age 62. She would have stayed to 65 except that her arthritis had gotten so bad it was physically painful to have to go in and sit behind a desk all day.

What the hell's a 'housewife' anyhow? I agree with the OP -- no woman ever married a house.

Hawkeye, I’ve got a very bad feeling about this.
Ceili, this is some rescue. You came in here and you didn’t have a plan for getting out? You were my only hope!

Do or do not; there is no try…

However, lexicon MANacles still restrict the realization of non-male expression, in that MANkind or huMANkind MANages to MANipulate both MALE, feMALE, MAN and woMAN.

Is it therefore only possible to describe a non-male adult by the addition of a ‘hu’, ‘fe,’ or ‘wo’ prefix?

Give me a break; I want to celebrate a goddess by more than just a freekin’ prefix.

What may I ask has ‘man’ to do with hyMAN, MENopause or MENstruate?
Geez Louise!

Or, as Hufe Wo, the third century Chinese philosopher and flim-flam man is reputed to have said:

Give me a break, OK? I'm just trying to earn a living.

this is a tough site>>all you people wanna do is talk ****, Doesnt anyone just want to have a convo..
