Women are liberated.... yet less happy

[mawilson 2,133]

Anyway, all that being said, as the study did suggest it was relatavising the happiness of women against the happiness of men, it could be that, women's perceived happiness stayed the same, or even improved, but for some reason men's happiness improved even more. That would not mean that women are not less happy at all, simply that men have become euphoric, for some reason...

Look... if a woman says she's unhappy, she's unhappy, ok?

Unless she's faking it

Which i'm told..... Is a womans prerogative.

Thanks to feminism, it's getting better all the time!

The basic needs of men are met, thanks to the modern woman.

Back in my dads day, nothing was free.

Sure most Young woman can't cook but they get in touch with that side later on, until then just use a drive through.... she even pays half the time (or more).

My happiness drop down if I have period.

While married to my ex-wife, I learned all about; the original reason for "Best Men", "Maidens of Honor", Margaret Mead and her Three Men, and I will never go back to that hell for as long as I live.

How to have a Feminist Wedding

http://www.ehow.com/how_2178954_have-feminist-wedding.html

Step
1
Keep the wedding relatively simple and have as little to do with the wedding industry as possible. This industry makes a fortune by promoting a Prince Charming fairy tale and by exploiting women into spend as much money as possible. What could be less feminist than that?

Step
2
Don't even bother picking up a bridal magazine, unless your purpose is to laugh at it.

Step
3
Brides, resist the pressure to be a "perfect bride." Who cares if you're overweight, or if your dress isn't perfect, or if the florist messes up? Women are taught to believe that the quality of the wedding is a reflection of their self worth. Whatever!

Step
4
Skip the tradition of the father walking the daughter down the aisle. This tradition dates back to the days when the bride was literally property that was being handed over from one man (the father) to the other (the groom). Both parents can walk both the bride and groom down the aisle (a tradition in Jewish weddings). Or the bride and groom can walk down the aisle holding hands, or each walk down separately. You can also skip the whole aisle concept.

Step
5
Try to get guests to refrain from standing when the bride walks down the aisle. A woman earns respect through her accomplishments, not by landing a man. If you have a wedding program, include a line such as "please do not rise for the bride."

Step
6
Consider alternatives to the terms "maid of honor" and "bridesmaid." Instead, have a "woman of honor," and call the men and women "attendants."

Step
7
Write vows that invoke feminist principles. Vow to be equal partners who mutually respect and nurture each other without infringing upon the other's identity.

Step
8
Consider alternatives to the woman taking the man's name, such as mutual hyphenation, or the bride and groom keeping their names. Let those in attendance know of your choice. You can print it on the wedding program, or have the officiant say something like, "Lisa and Jason are celebrating the creation of their family by creating a hyphenated last name. They henceforth will be known as Lisa and Jason Cooper-Green."

Step
9
Even if the bride does take the groom's last name, do not have the officiant introduce the couple as, "Mr. and Mrs. Jason Green." Even if you do take his name, sweetheart, you still have a first name of your very own.

Step
10
Do what you want. Part of feminism is about expressing your identity as you see fit (that's Third Wave feminism), so create a wedding that's uniquely yours. If you have your heart set on a more traditional option, like a poofy white dress or bride and groom cake figurines, go for it. You won't be thrown out of the feminist club.

NOw that was pretty good.

Though it's hard to tell if it was written as comedy... or for-real.

Yes, i had just read something about this not too long ago...

The only thing that makes me sad is that most women HAVE to work now... as an economic necessity to enjoy even the most moderate standard of living... Some women are working 50-hour work weeks, as are their husbands, and can't take time off to raise their kids even if they wanted to... How many families have someone else raising their kids, whether it be daycare or babysitters or nannies... Seems counterproductive in a way...

I am amazed at the number of women I know of who actually support men..... and think it is normal.

Where's the website for hot women who love deadbeat guys? Is it Chickswith$.com or Lovelosers.com?

[Chica Yeyé 41]

What would be the fundamental wrong on that? I just don't see it. If women have sought going out into the workforce; and their husbands decide/choose be the homemakers; how does that make them losers? I just don't get it.
