well since you're being serious about how women are in north america, I can take my postion on the COMPLETE opposite side than from what you're coming from. I'm not one of those extreme feminist chicks...but you've got to be kidding me if you expect me to sit around, get fat, and watch the bratty ass little kids all day long. I'm NOT June Clever!!! That era of women being the sole homemakers, child raisers, domestics went out in the 1960-70s...and I prefer that it stays in the past. Too many women in my country struggled way too hard to get what they wanted in life and to get me the rights I know enjoy. I'll be damned if I'm givin them up now, just cuz my "husband" wants someone to pop out a bunch of kids and stay at home. BULLSHIT!!!!!!! Nope. I have just as much right to be out makin my own as any man....and some of it I can do better than a man could.
I know plenty of men that are excellent care givers....every man has it in him as long as he puts his machoness aside long enough to take care of his family. I'm not sayin that he has to stay at home with the kids...BUT a man is MORE than capable of raising his children.

As for the double standard comment....you are only looking at it from one side...as people typically do. What about the sex double standard???? Guys can go out and f**k as many girls as he wants and he's a stud...but a girl...if she did that then she's a dirty ho, a slut, whore...whatever derogatory comment you want to make about her.

I am far from the submissive type of female. I know what I want in life and I will do basically whatever I need to in life to achieve my goals. If that means having a man join me on that so be it, if the man I'm with can't accept me for who/how I am, then he's gonna be left behind.

Rob, you said about women are better care givers to the children....what do you think about the men that are awarded full custody of their children?
