Equality is something women have fought for a long time with men. The reason we haven't reached this goal is for one too many reasons which I will only list three of here:
One: too many women are codependent, and are in bad relationships with men who treat them like trash, and worse thing is they aren't too far away from fitting the profile.
lets face the facts, most codependent women don't know how to be independent (without wellfare) most of these women already have a child depending on them. So they accept: that the abusive husband they have is the best they will ever get. So these women will never rise to equality with men, because they will always be mans slave.
Two: Who needs equality when you have superiority? Some women have it all. They are Independent; meaning they have a job that pays the bills, Attractive, physically fit, most of the time single, but thats a good thing, cuz by the time this woman is ready to settle down, so is the man of her dreams. (most men don't even start thinking about having kids or getting married till they are 30). And when these woman get a boyfriend or any kind of male relationship, These men buy her gifts. Why? Cuz she already has everything she needs. So they cant trap her with empty promises of the world. This is the woman you should want to be. Men who marry this woman tend to treat her like a queen for the rest of their lives. (or so I would like to think)(couldn't say never experienced it right?)
Three: We like our cake and eat it too. I really never understood how this statement makes any sense, I know what it means, or how it interprets, but in its most literal sense, it makes no sense. I mean When you bake a cake, or buy one, its to eat it! Anyways.... We like to be equal but we also want to be old fashioned. The perfect example of this, there was a woman on Reddit arguing that she should have half of the money her husband brings in; only because she is entitled to it... The only way she could win this argument is if she divorced him, and took half of his assets. I'll tell you why. At this point in history we Americans are facing Economic Collapse, for her to be demanding half of her husbands income, is a bit ridiculous, she should be stepping up to the plate and bring money in too. This is what a woman seeking equality would do, but no, she was a stay at home mom. And: TAN TUM TUM! She plays WoW. now I do not know how much time she spends playing WoW, but since she plays enough of it to post stuff about it on Reddit, well I could assume she spends plenty of time playing it. Comparing her duties to mine; even if we took her word: that she keeps the house clean and takes care of the kids or kid, those are still things that are not that hard to do, if you are doing them right. (If you managed to raise your kid right), assuming the kids are well behaved, all she has to do is ask them to do their homework when they get home. Make them a snack, help them with their hw if they need it, start dinner; when her husband gets home serve dinner, then make sure her kids brush their teeth and have their clothes picked out for the morning before she puts them to bed. Most apartments these days come with dishwashers, so its highly likely that she only needs to rinse her dishes which only takes about half an hour. An average day for me on these things is about 6-8 hours of housewife/mother duties, even so I do not feel entitled to my fionces money, and I wouldn't feel entitled to it if we were married. Here is why:
My fiance is not rich, we are not middle class, and even if we were, He still pays most of the bills, and what is left after usually goes towards food. (this is sugar coating it, I am not about to go into my finances) So for this woman to want half from her husband: made me ask; Is she a "trophy" wife or a "soccer mom?" the answer was no. She is most likely over weight, (as am I) cuz as we all know you don't lose any weight when playing WoW. And soccer moms are too busy taking the kids to practice to play WoW. Why would I ask such a sexist question? it shouldn't matter right? not if he "loves" her? right? wrong. It matters. You want to be treated like a queen, Act and look like it honey. I know for a fact that those twinkys in the city spend most of their time at the beauty salon for a reason, not because they have nothing better to do with their time.
There are still 6 hours of the day available to get a part time job. (at the moment I am unemployed) and I know that a part time job would still not pay half the bills. But at least it would be my own. So if this woman wishes to have money of her own instead of getting it from her husband she should get a part-time job. The money would be her own cuz she earned it, and she earned the right to keep it cuz now she dose pull half the responsibilities. (but half the responsibilities, would still imply that she has to spend half of that money on bills, whether or not half of her income covers half the bills at least she is paying some of the bills, and still doing her wife/mommy duties, and that is equality.
For those of you who do not know what WoW is: WoW stands for World of WarCraft, it is an online MMO/RPG. If you don't know what that means, Google it. As for WoW its a very very addicting game, worse than farmville, if you know what that is...
