I don't think Matriarchy is the issue. Although it's been demonstrated that Matriarchal societies are much less violent than Patriarchal ones. So, what's the solution?

I don't think so. So many people -- men AND women -- change over time. The woman you chose umpteen years ago was a certain way. And what's the old saying? A woman marries a man hoping she can change him; a man marries a woman hoping she'll never change. Truth be dat. But the truth IS that...

I think we need to FIRST realize that the Bible wasn't ALWAYS in existence...and neither was Patriarchy. When you talk about Patriarchy and tradition, you're talking about something that's only existed for a short time in human history...AND...that its existence was largely cultural. For...

I don't see how her materialism is your fault. I mean, as adults, aren't we each responsible for ourselves? Unfortunately, I've seen this same situation time and time again on these forums over the years. Boy meets (foreign) girl. At first she's humble. But as time goes by, she becomes...

*Hands MA2444 a Dagwood Sandwich before beginning my rant* :contemplate: You know...what's interesting to me about what's bolded is that there seems to be a tie-in between how you treated your wife and how that affected her, and how some women USED to treat their husbands...and how it may have...

And if the situation beginning at 23:50 was reversed, do you think that young man would have stuck by his wife? Or... would the young man have pulled the plug? Or had an affair while his wife was laboring in the hospital? That may be the kind of woman a man wants, but it's ALSO the kind of MAN...

Feminism seeks to achieve equal treatment and opportunity for women in order to achieve similar opportunities across different fields of work and culture and equal respect in a variety of roles. The goal of feminism is to create equity, which is essential for leveling the playing field to...

Did you not read the legal cases that I linked where the EEOC filed...and WON against companies that have discriminated against women and paid them LESS than a man was making for the same work?

Did I not write, "Sex discrimination DOES still happen here in the US."? I didn't say that sex discrimination still ONLY happens to women here in the US. So interesting that you're quick to point out how women make themselves out to be victims, while you're making MEN out to be victims. Pot...

From the article: "The systemic oppression of women and gender-based discrimination has deep roots in human civilization. As evident in both written texts and widespread practices, conscious and unconscious biases associated with patriarchy have been and continue to be interlaced with power...

And I'll provide proof to the contrary. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work. The EEOC has recovered millions of dollars for workers subjected...

I was homeless for about a year. I was NOT "thriving."

Not true, Wynona. Companies that do that are COUNTING on the woman either not knowing how much her male counterpart is making (unless he wants to share it with her) and/or, not making a stink about it because, hey...it's ONLY 20 cents. It was OBVIOUSLY true years ago because when women were...

I THOUGHT I spotted a faint "S" on my chest a few times when I was "doing it all"!!!! Chkl: Not sure about that. The Proverbs 31 wife was a working woman. She DID work outside the home. BUT...she also had HELP at home. Maidservants. How many women have that TODAY? Also, we, as a society...

Guess it depends on the definition of "thrive." Somehow, I don't see living paycheck to paycheck as "thriving." ARE there decent jobs out there that don't require college degrees? Sure. But can one apply for and GET MOST of those jobs right out of high school? Probably not. The decent...

No, we're not. While opportunities have advanced for SOME, others are lagging. While the US is a progressive country, places like Afghanistan ban girls from getting a secondary education. But even in the US, women in general still don't make the same amount of money for the same jobs as men...

I agree. To all of this!

Statistically speaking, of the dual income couples, working mothers still do MOST of the childcare/childrearing/housework.

If you have a daughter old enough to be looking into entering any of the STEM fields, would you encourage her to follow her passion? Would your husband encourage her? How about her extended family? How about her teachers? Friends? Siblings? And even if she got a degree in STEM, would she be...

The criteria still exists but courts today recognize that there's not a one-size-fits-all structure. The criteria isn't some checklist that a judge uses for EVERY instance without the consideration of any other criteria. Point is, that while MOST of the time, children DO live with their...
