So what's different since we made the big bra burning freedom that sent women to the workplace and away from their homes and families? MMM lets see now. Who has been watching the kids and how have they turned out?(Colombine ect)
So what, you'd rather women just stay in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant? They can't compete in the man's world for some reason? You bring up Columbine yet you fail to understand that the fathers are just as responsible for their children's behaviour. Why can't fathers stay home and care for the kids while the mother works at the law firm?
Oh that's right, "traditional gender roles". Gender roles that exist because some men are simply unable to deal with the fact that there are women out there stronger, smarter, and better workers than than they are.
How much has things gone up with more money chasing fewer goods? (inflation) Do women now have the choice to raise a family? (Not without sacrificing all else). No sir you are wrong here, it isn't a better life for women.
lol wtf
How is it not a better life for women? Y'know that whole
VOTING thing they fought for...I would say that made things better. Of course women have a choice in raising a family; now they're not all told that their goal in life is to find a man to support them because they're actually capable of doing it on their own.
But of course there are still men out there who feel that they own women, that their wives are property as oppossed to people.
I have been married for 33 years and with the same women for 37 years. She has had the choice to go to school or raise a family then seek employment if she wanted. Often she points out how hard women have to struggle today just to live much less try to raise a family. Women have no chice now as competition in the workplace forces women to work.
Good for your wife in having those options but that shouldn't stop other women from having their own options. No choice? Competition doesn't force women to work any more than it forces men to work. What your wife points out doesn't make any sense. Why does a woman have the obligation to raise the family? Why can't she be the breadwinner and the father stay home and raise the children? Why can't a woman go through life without raising a family?
Yup, gender roles. Such wonderful family values...aw, it's too hard for the girls to work
and raise a family so let's make it easier on them by not allowing them to leave the house.
I could go on but this is a lost cause as you can't relate to what is different, you haven't lived it knowingly.
And I am thrilled that I have not had to live in a society where women and minorities are treated as second class citizens to white males.
You are for change but don't understand what effect on society change has and the number of lives ruined by change that has'nt been thought out.
And others don't seem to understand that
not changing ruins just as many lives. "Change" is what freed slaves. "Change" is what allowed women to vote. "Change" is what brought allowed science and medicine to improve and lengthen our lives. "Change" is unavoidable and to think that the status quo should be preserved simply because some people are incapable of handling that change is abhorrent.
The Muslim world has plenty of time to think and look at us and our families, what life means to us. Some of them think we need to die.
christ here we go again
It's not just the value systems that they dislike; the diety that so many people here worship and the fact that each of us is allowed to worship whoever the hell we want (may y'all be blessed by the Flying Spaghetti Monster) that causes those extremists to want us dead.
That gay cowboy movie winning an Oscar is not the cause of this. My mother earning twice what my father earned is not the cause. My friend who's abortion I actually
paid for (medical necessity) is not the cause.
Osama does not want liberals dead any more than he wants anyone else dead. Don't kid yourself in thinking that conservatives are the good guys and would be safe if not for the people in this country that simply want to live their lives without religious influence.
but until I get yelled at about it I'm gonna try to sneak it through 
Now you're just making crap up. AIDS is a disease, not a political statement. Sodomy has existed since before your religion was created and will exist long after it's gone. Besides, it's none of your business what goes on in anyone else's bedroom so why is it even an issue?
