Cletus C.: Only having men to sexually harass would get old real quick.

I once worked in an office (Army photojournalists) that was all-female for almost a year. When a guy finally got assigned to our group, we had a blast at his expense, ala "Hey, let's talk about menstruation! Office poll: Pads or tampons, and why?" Meanwhile, he'd be cringing with his fingers in his ears. We got bored with that after about 28 days or so.

I thought the husband civilizer was even worse. It's insulting to men, and demeaning to women. For men, because we're incapable of acting in a civlized manner without a woman showing us how. And for women, because this idiot apparently thinks that's all they're worth.

Back in the '90s when I worked for a certain Seattle-based commercial airplane manufacturing company, it wasn't uncommon for my male coworkers (engineers) to pop off with comments like "women belong at home in the kitchen," and "women in the workforce is why we have inflation." Even my boss told me $10/hour was a good salary for any woman.

I wasn't part of the inevitable class-action lawsuit that took place, but I did get to partake of the monetary settlement. And that was very nice.

Also, since when is it fair for my tax dollars to go to your local FBI offices? You want federal law enforcement in your area, you pay for 'em! And don't even get me started on FEMA using my money to help victims of natural disasters in states I've never even been to! The safety, health, and well being of anyone who's not me is completely unimportant, and it's a goddamned travesty that any of my hard-earned money goes toward helping others with anything.

I find my work to be very rewarding, as I feel it contribute to society by making people's lives better. I thoroughly enjoyed my education and the fact that it led to a rewarding career. When I tried the housewife route (no kids), it really was dull - no amount of sewing or reading or gardening or quilting circles ever came close to the satisfaction I attained from my work.

I'm sure this guy's ultra-conservative compatriots would just love to see wages and benefits rise to a level where a family could survive on one income with no assistance from the government. I know a LOT of people, including yours truly, who have families where one spouse basically works JUST for medical insurance. Subtract insurance and daycare from my wife's check, and she has about enough left to buy gas to drive to work and back. Universal healthcare isn't an option because that's socialism, and socialism is BAD. Maybe if we pray very hard to the Job Creators and offer them a burnt offering of a tax cut, they will bring back full medical coverage, generous pensions AND living wages. I've heard, however, that they are fickle and angry Gods and not to be trifled with. We should probably just give them the tax break and not ask for anything in return, lest they choose to smite our economy and destroy our jobs with their wrath.

look around you at the mess, the unhappiness, the crime and filth. you're a pawn of the most evil empire on earth. people around the world hate you, what you stand for and your wicked evil ways. you have your fellow countrymen of wealth, power and influence to thank for that. keep sending your children to church so they can be raped, then have them join the military so they can enjoy killing people around the world.

Single moms are immoral harlots. They either had extramarital relations or committed the sin of divorce. Their children should be forcibly adopted by loving married couples of impeccable character.

Perhaps you could make an exception for widows of servicemen who died defending their country, but that's an edge case, and anyway, you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs.

This idiot sounds moronic because nowadays, men don't work.

My mother teaches at a high school, and usually around sixty percent of the graduates are female. One year, there were exactly six boys in an entire class. It's not that we start off with more girls, it's that guys are taught to admire the idiot who goes and does a dangerous stunt with his bike, where girls are taught to be CEOs and go-get-em feminists. My college classes are eighty percent female. We've seen articles on Fark showing time and again research saying guys are starting to look for commitment and a steady relationship, while girls look for trophy husbands.

He wants men-only workplaces? How about he teaches his sons not to sit on their asses and wait for the wife to get a paycheck. Believe it or not, feminism was supposed to be a movement of equality, not a movement of men sitting down and whining that they can't manage without special privileges.

Not to mention how farking boring for women to be stuck at home all day. My mom was a stay at home mom in the 80's and while it was something she chose, she did admit that she was bored to tears. All of the things I mentioned that women returning home would be doing - she did and it still left her lots of time to be bored. In the last 100 years we have made major improvements in technology. Back when my grandma was a little girl washing clothes was all day affair. You had to go to the market everyday and pump water from a well. Women worked a lot back then to run a household and they still often did work outside the home. Now we have all of this technology and the amount to work to keep a household clean and food cooked is a tiny faction of what it was. Get ready for a lot of bored housewives farking everything that moves and drinking themselves stupid. This was a problem in the 50's, the amount of time to upkeep a home is even less now. What the fark are women going to do, unless she is popping out a kid every 5 years, they will go to school and she will be home alone. Then you gets cases like mine, I'm sterile, so unless I adopt, I won't even have kids to deal with. Outside of aging parents that will one day move in, I'm going to have crap to do. Right now I work 40 hours weeks, go to school full time, workout 5 days a week for an hour, have hobbies, cook all of my own meals and keep my home spotless. I really don't know what I would do with an extra 40 hours a week. I really wasn't raised to be lazy and sit on my ass all day watching reality TV. Yuck.

In the glorious days of the 1950s that never existed, women like us wouldn't exist.

Susie wants to go to college? Great! She'll find a smart husband who can take care of her. And he'll even let her have a part-time job for a little "pin money" but only until the first baby comes along. Then of course she'll stay home. She'll learn to be happy and obey her husband as a good Christian wife. Susie's husband starts drinking a little too much but Susie doesn't leave the house often anyway so nobody will notice the bruises. Susie's husband is now "working" late at night and has been seen around town with his much younger secretary. But what's Susie to do? She must love, honor and obey her husband and show him respect at all times, even though none is reciprocated. And now Susie's husband is leaving her for his young secretary. How will Susie care for herself and her four children? Ah... destitution and despair. The fate of too many women who are abused, neglected and abandoned with no recourse.

fark that shiat. I am forever grateful to the "radical feminists" before me who gave me the CHOICE to live a fulfilling life of my own.

Jim_Callahan: Meh, my mother stayed at home mostly and it worked out fine. They were middle class middle class, though, literally third quintile smack in the middle of the income distribution, and we lived in a low cost of living area. Plus, once we (the kids) were all reasonably independent human beings with school and shiat, I think the poor woman was bored out of her mind, she ended up volunteering for essentially all the things, ever. And at one point she fired the contractor for the house and took over managing a construction project herself. Which, don't get me wrong, saved a huge quantity of money and got the job done faster, but c'mon, how itching for something to do do you have to be? Christ.

What I'm saying here is that, as someone who grew up in a family unit intentionally designed (my parents, they're planners) to be basically what the author of TFA was proposing, I still don't see how it's particularly any more practical or compelling than a two-income household. I honestly think my mother would have been happier taking a five-year break (at which point my youngest sibling entered pre-school and was gone seven hours a day) and then working part time. She actually maintained her nursing license and is still current on it "in case something happens to your father", so I think the same idea may have occurred to her at some point.

//Then, my parents are so traditionally American they shiat bald eagles and sweat apple pie, so the level of crazy they experience when they don't have something constructive to do may be abnormally high.
//The "in case something happens to your father" line still cracks me up, as they're age- and finance-wise essentially retired and he's only still working at this point because of the whole bald-eagle thing to begin with.

This.

As far as that other thought goes, yeah, minus surgery, I DID become "male". I worked two jobs to pay for the home we bought together (until I couldn't afford it anymore) but I get the idea. No kids meant I was just single again. But again- SO GLAD I didn't have any. Don't know what I would have done. As this author would suggest, perhaps I might have become a seamstress on an Amish farm whilst taking care of my child(ren? Twins run in my family)?

An unpaid assistant. Think: an intern, but you can sleep with her without getting into trouble. Also, she is allowed to run all your personal errands, do your cleaning, and make all your meals.

I suppose I'll need to get a helpmate for me and the wife. They're all women, you say?


The GOP stands firmly against same-sex helpmates. And, yes, a helpmate must always be female or it goes against God's® will. The best you can do for the wife is a servant, and you have to pay servants. Of course, the letter-writer could be a liberal, but, somehow, I don't think so.

Not to mention the freelance work on the side I did for my own cash, where I also made my own hours.

Guys, we should be encouraging the women to take the role that we had prior to the women's rights era!

Actually, it was during World War II that women entered the work force en masse, because they had to take over the jobs that had been abandoned by male soldiers going overseas.

Regardless, if Mr. Drummond's concern is really to reduce potential labor supply in the marketplace (let's ignore the fact that in some market areas, such as nursing, there is a huge demand still), then why is he not suggesting men take their turn at home? If they're concerned about using formula then have mom pump herself before going to work, and dad can feed the kid.

Oh, that's right, this isn't about reducing the labor supply - it's about getting women back in their "proper place" according to subtly misogynistic men. :P Sorry, Mr. Drummond, I think we'll just wait until you die and move on with our lives.

Before she could even move into her new office she was off on maternatiy leave. So the company had to go through the entire process again to find a temporary head of the department to cover for her while she was off for the year. After her year off, she comes back and less than a year later she was off again on another maternatity leave. So once again the company had to find an interim head for that department until the person they actually hired for the job comes back to work.

Seems to me the argument is "everybody do things my way". How else do you explain the homophobic, misogynistic, anti-poor, and anti-choice hysteria that drives the modern GOP? Seems to be the long range solution is to PROMOTE contraception, reducing the future populace to a more well rounded, manageable level, stabilizing the workforce, reducing the drain on social programs. Oh but no, they want an answer now and only now and one that turns a minority into a boogeyman and still allows them moral control.

Tommy Moo: I do agree with him on one point: supply and demand does set the price of labor. In a weird way, women entering the workforce has contributed to the wage gap, both between the rich and poor and between the upper middle class and poor. High earning women tend to find and pair up with high earning men, creating super couples. If 1/2 of the workforce were to stay at home, workers would be in a better position to negotiate higher wages, and the executives would have no choice but to spend more on payroll at the cost of their own bonuses and salaries. One worker would then be able to support a family.

Where I disagree with this guy is that the 1/2 who don't work should be women. We should find a more equitable system that discourages double income families, by having a tax penalty for example. Or set up a system for married families with children whereby the government gives subsidies for a parent to stay home, but each parent can only take it for 6 months out of the year, so both have to take it or else forfeit it. This would eliminate unemployment. A 30 hour work week for everyone would also accomplish the same thing.


We could always take a historical example. The one time that wages have really increased substantially in the past 1500 years or so was due to the results of the Black Death when it killed off a 1/3rd to 1/2th of the work force. Of course that might be looked down upon, but if you really want to up wages, that is how it is done.

Having worked in an environment with mostly men and an environment with mostly women, I have learned something. I'm happier working in places that are mostly male. Yeah, the female environment has better asses to check out and better boobs. But a place that is mostly male means not having to watch what you say. When I worked in a mostly female environment my first three months was being pulled aside and being told "This isn't a construction or factory job, you have to becareful of what you say!!!" and when I would probe deeper (a phrase I was barred from saying at work), I'd be told that someone over heard what was said and was offended. And it was never directed at anyone, it was just someone over hearing a private conversation and not liking what I said to someone else, or not liking a word that I used.

I would never say that women should not work and just stay at home, but that doesn't mean that I'm going to happily work in a place that is all female and just me. That's just asking for trouble.
