Anonymous(25-29)+1 yOk, so here's the thing, I picked B, but it's a bit more complicated than that. I would love it if a girl will do the whole stay at home mom thing, because I can't imagine I could be as good with these hypothetical kids. Also, this depends on how much he makes. If the guy makes a good amount of money, it's really satisfying for them and their ego, to not have a wife that works, but if they don't make enough money, then maybe part time could work out? Personally, I want to reach a stage in my life where my future girl doesn't have to work. Also, it would feel different if men and women were truly equal in the secular field. Would that be great? Yes, but it's not, so for guys, especially white guys like me, it's like "This whole system is rigged in my favor, I'm a total loser if I can't succeed." Also, I'd like a wife who has other interests as well, like if you paint and try to sell it online or write and publish it online or something. It doesn't have to make any money, it's just cool to be with someone that is passionate and creative and channels it into something, it could even be motherhood. It should be endearing for him if you just do really fun and creative activities with the children and go out and do stuff with them. That counts as being creative and passionate! Have a great day, and a great life!

+1 yLmao! Quite the contrary. My guy friends are so desperate to find one of these special type of girls in this day and age. They're a rarity and like scarce diamonds to some of us.
Too many of the other girls out there try so hard to downplay traditional feminine roles, even downplay women who have careers but still want to try and fulfil feminine roles for their husbands.
But there's really nothing wrong with a housewife. I think it's awesome that you are going to be full hands on the kids so they don't have to dump them in some nursery where they get fed political propaganda and you begin wondering if your child is really YOUR child.21 Reply
+1 yI actually used to be a very liberal "working woman" type of lady, but I actually really prefer the traditional sort of housewife type of thing nowadays, and think it's definitely a better thing for society as well as for myself.

I don't think being a housewife is a bad idea, and working is also not a bad idea.
It all comes down to the family and what works for them.00 Reply

there needs to be a third option: I want what makes her happy. If a girl or guy wants to stay home, and as a couple they can afford that and agree on it, great. If both of them want to work and mutually have a plan for the household management stuff, great. If they don't agree, maybe they'd be happier not being a couple. My wife is a housewife and has probably come close to a throw down with women who look down on her for not having a job (she's turned pretty adamantly anti femenist from these interactions..) Don't let anyone decide what's best for you other than you and your partner

+1 yI clicked "Of course i want that" because who would not want that? go to work and have ur wife stay at home and take care of the rest. But sadly with how the world has become that's no longer possible i'm afraid. The economics are just so facked up and prices skyrocketed. It's nearly impossible to sustain a household with just 1 person earning money. In my country (the netherlands) something like a hous wife no longer excists unless you got a high paid job (wich are harder and harder to get now adays). I've seen older woman who never worked in their entire life getting put to work by lez say the Goverment. We are living in a world with modernized Slavery is what i often say ;). Enjoying life is getting harder and harder. And the joy of life is getting further and further away. We don't work to sustain our lifes. we are slowly starting to live to work.

I know some of really bad ass old school women who ran their family businesses and taking care of the kids at the same time.
So I knew an old Chinese guy got 2 wives (old school). The older wife oversaw a farm produce warehouse while taking care of the 2 kids of the younger wife. The young wife trained the 2 older kids of the older wife while taking care of the family business and the accounts.
It's not that the husband can't support the wives. However, it's foolish not to help your family grow stronger and accumulate a lot of wealth. Do you want to send your kids to college? Have an enjoyable retirement? Buy houses for your kids and grandchildren?00 Reply
Anonymous(36-45)+1 yI make decent money, not great. I've been at my job for quite a few years now. I could support a family on what I make alone. But not exactly easily. These days with the economy the way it is, it's much less common for households to be able to afford this whether or not it's acceptable to the husband.
I'm not for the idea. If I end up in a job making quite a lot of money and I save a LOT of money in my "rainy day fund" and would be okay if I wound up out of work for a while, then I'd consider it.
I'm not the most materialistic person around but I think I'd rather a wife work at least part time. I wouldn't expect her to bring home as much money as me. I would appreciate if she brought home the bacon, though. Hickory smoked would be good. But a little more seriously, I'd like if she helped out with the finances, even just a bit, unless I find myself in a much better situation myself.10 Reply
Anonymous(45 Plus)+1 yNot something I look for but if that's there that's awesome! Not sure who wouldn't want that! But what about equality at home? Do you like to do it all like does that bring you great satisfaction? I know because we both work, we equallynshare those responsibilities. I might cook more. She tends to clean more. Prob today is most households can't do that. Both have to work. I'd consider being mr. Mom if we could afford it and she had the better job. But it's def sexy if you like it. You would so be pleased when I got home and there was no stress! My god the massages and pleasuring you would get all the time after coming home and showering lol!
00 ReplyWell sound's like my dream girl and it's also a + if you have kids since your home to raise them. I find that its a lot less stressful for both parties if the women stay's home (assuming the man make's enough for both) because last thing I want when I get home after a stressful day of work is my wife crying about the same thing because that always will lead to a fight. I'm sure you will attract many men don't worry about it.

Nah I'd rather have a partnership with a woman that we both participate with and assist each other on. I grew up without my mom being a housewife so I think I'm just more accustomed to that type of arrangement. I'm not a fan of predetermined roles. I'm not a fan of rigidity to begin with.

I think it is very hard to work full time, raise kids and maintain laundry, cooking and cleaning the home. Yeah the man should kick in and help but it is still very hard on the woman.
If you have 3 or 4 kids and working full time,, your hands are full.

Feminism was originally created to give women a choice and let them chose what is right for them. If that means being a homemaker, great. If that mean ruling Wall Street, that's good too.
To be a good feminist you just need to make the choices that are right for you and help other women make their own decisions too. You can also challenge traditional stereo types, like the man needing to make the money where he can't chose to be a stay at home dad. When a person knows their options and chooses what is right for them, everyone wins no matter the gender.
Sadly some people get caught up in anger or hurt and hijack/ twist the intention. Others feel the term has been polluted to much. Maybe equality feels more comfortable, but the intent stays the same. - +1 y
@CheshireCat89
Feminism is actually about women being privileged over men by asking to have the same rights and chances a man has and to be treated equally like him in every aspect of life while enjoying the profits of being a female and not being able to take the same responsibilities a man would take.
I'm not gunna vote for either. When I get a wife... I'll let her decide what she wants to do. It's her life at the end of the day.

No they don't. My mom is a housewife, and it's actually a hard job.

@Shimy 2 main reasons actually
1. I think that men do things outside better, because let's be honest: generally speaking men are physically, mentally and emotionally stronger than women! Men are also more intelligent and can handle responsibilities and face difficulties better than women! Again, I'm speaking generally, but of course there are expectations. That being said, More working men equals more productivity. Not to mention that men would most likely be even more productive if there were no women in their work field, because women can be scatters for men.
2. The place where women are more productive than men is actually the house! Women can cook, clean, keep an eye on children, look after them and provide them with their needs etc better than any man. But if there were to work as well, there will be something missing because they obviously wouldn't be able to balance that100%

Yea... I must be an exception then lol
I think that if only men worked, there wouldn't be enough workers out there, plus nowadays a lot of jobs don't require the physical strength that men have
Also I think it's far more fulfilling to have a work and earn money than to just stay home and completely rely on the husband's salary
but that's my opinion
The problem with such questions is that cca. 80% of 'em are social experiments.
