You prolly want to address BOTH sides of that particular table

I don't get the shopping mentality of "Oh I'll just get myself another Filipina" or "try a Ukrainian next time." Does anyone else find themselves as offended by this as I am? As a mother to a child who is part Filipina and a woman in general (albeit a not very feminist one), I'm kind of unsettled.

Does anyone else feel that way?

Everything is negotiable.

The old joke, a guy asks a woman if she would have sex with him for a million dollars.

She says, “Yes.”

He then asks, “How about twenty dollars?"

“What kind of women do you think I am?”

"We already established that. Now we are just haggling over the price.”

We don't have basements in Texas. I keep her locked in the attic.

I started to go with this approach, but opted for the invisible fence and shock collar. Allows her to go out to cut the grass and clean the pool....

Nah, I just duped some dumb foreigner. He figured, no woman could be worse than a German woman. Well, he was wrong. MWHAHHAAHHA.

That's fair, it's Germany's fault so many married American women have jobs. Totally corrupts a marriage.

They are a bad influence with their degrees, high powered careers and never having kids. Men's balls are withered away just to have them walk by. True story, bro. And American women like me think 'incredible, if only I possessed that cold, unfeminine power...'. I try too hard maybe, got stuck in poserville. That's why I really had to move back to the US. I got deported for not being able to compete with them. Hab leider die Pruefung nicht bestanden. It is my secret shame that I now share with VJ, soon to be a Lifetime movie, airs in April, I think.

Yes that's all very intimidating I'm sure, but I was thinking more along the lines of Germany starting WWII. The American

men had to go over and kick Germany's butt and while they were gone the government here was telling all the women they

should go out and get jobs to help with the war effort. After 4 years of that the American women were left confused about

their proper place.

Ah well that too. History Channel should really do an episode focusing on how it was one of Hitler's side plans to ruin American women. There are probably at least 5-6 layers of conspiracy here. I'd write the execs about a secret parking gargae with a truck full of Illuminati records relating to this very thing, but I've got to finish watching Nat Geo's Nazi Temple of Doom first. I hope there is some ancient alien connection. Those aliens, where would we be without them?

German women are no where near as hardcore as Danish women. You want to stay home with your children and want to have men open doors for you and not slam in your face? You are weak and lazy! I think the Dane thought he'd be getting some perfect American housewife who always had a perfectly clean house and cooked 3 times a day. If only he knew....that I'd only cook like 6 times a week, let the cleaning go sometimes, and heavens forbid ask him to do the laundry twice, I think he would have opted to stay single.

speaking of foreign women being a commodity, how many more generalizations can we make about women based on the country of their birth? fun game.

Ah...this is a question that my wife can answer...

Let me untie her and remove the gag-ball from her mouth so she can answer...

Propaganda campaign

The government’s war time efforts to recruit women had several themes, the main one being patriotism. The campaigns told women that the war would end sooner if more women worked. Women were also warned that if they did not work then a soldier would die, people would call them slackers, and they were equivalent to men who avoided the draft (Rupp 96). Women who took war jobs were praised.

Another propaganda theme was high pay. The government cautioned, though, that wages should not be overemphasized or women might spend too much and cause inflation (Rupp 96).

As a way to lure young women into the factories, advertisers showed women workers as glamorous and even fashionable. They mentioned that women did not care much about their appearance while at work, but that they were still feminine underneath the dirt (Gregory 32). The campaigns equated factory work with housework as a way to alleviate women’s fears about working. Therefore, women already had the skills needed. But the government cautioned that war work should not look too easy or women might not take it seriously. This method reinforced women’s role as homemaker and that her main duty was to her home.

The government’s propaganda also called on husbands to encourage their wives to take jobs. It emphasized that it would not reflect poorly on the husbands and their ability to support their families if their wives worked (Rupp 96). The campaigns told men that they should feel pride when their wives took a job much the same way that they felt pride when their sons enlisted. This campaign was based on the assumption that women did not work because of their husbands’ objections (Rupp 153).

The government focused its propaganda campaigns on white middle-class families whose women were not already working. It did not target the women who were already in the workforce and switched to higher paying jobs without any encouragement. Although there was a lot of diversity among women workers, women of color were absent in advertisements. The stars of the campaign were middle-class domestic housewives with no work experience who would leave when the war was over.

At first, the propaganda campaigns featured the few women who worked in skilled and high-paying jobs, even though they were a small percentage of women workers. Not until there was a labor shortage in 1943 were the unglamorous, underpaid, low-status jobs a part of the propaganda campaigns (Rupp 142).

The propaganda campaigns used during the war never had any intention of bringing about permanent changes in women’s place in society. Rather, the government used them to fill temporary labor shortages with women workers.
