Okay, first....everyone needs to calm down....this is strictly everyone's opinions, even if some are offensive or close-minded statements. As for me, I voted: Oh! Look at that shiny thing across the room! The reason why is: I feel uncomfortable talking about this subject for many reasons. But, I shall state my opinions anyway...

First, Makg.....yes, your posts are offensive, ignorant, and a bit discriminitive against women....but, I understand what you're talking about. For me, as a woman, I feel that women should have the same equal rights and jobs as men, and men should be able to take care of the roles that women do as well. For single women....I think it's terrific that they're going out, trying to get a job and standing up for themselves and being independant. I love that....hell, I wish I could be like that (but, I'm still too young... ) As for women who are mothers.....I think it's up to them whether or not they want to hire a baby-sitter or stay at home and take care of the kids or leave it to the husband. Personally, I think it'd be better for both parents to take care of the kid(s). It gives the kid(s) an equal share of love from both sexes, so they won't be screwed up. Anyway, it depends on the situation though. If the woman is married, but then gets a divorce and wants to keep the kids, then she needs to be responsible for them and not have them turn out to be trouble-makers and so on. But, in order to support the kids, the woman needs to work, so she has no choice but to hire a nanny or a babysitter. But, if we're talking about a single woman....whose been single all her life.....then....suddenly, wants to have kids...then she needs to find out if she REALLY wants that more than her job. I feel that women should be able to go out and work but if they want kids too, they have to find out if work is much more important than the kids. But hey!! If they know they can devote their time to work...and yet...still have time to take care of the kid...then by all means, go and have kids and work! That'd be great! As for independant, single, career women....they should have the same jobs as men because nowadays, it's unfair for them to be discriminated just because they are female. In the past.....before there was war or anything, the women are supposed to be at home. But, when the war going on (I'm talking about America here)....all the men needed to be recruited and go to fight. All of a sudden....HEY! ALL WOMEN!! C'MON DOWN AND HELP PUT TOGETHER THIS PLANE or C'MON ALL WOMEN!! HELP DRILL THIS HOLE INTO THE SIDE and so on. I mean....that pisses me off. It's kinda like, "Ohhhh.....now you need us to help you out...but still.....we can't go to war with the men, right?" After the war was over and all....the women were expected to go back home and start taking care of the kids and so on. That's unfair. And I'm only talking about America here. I understand that in some countries, the women are supposed to be at home and all.....okay, fine. That's their religion and beliefs....until all the women gather round and try to defy that....then it can't be helped....they're stuck. But, another thing is: it's their religion and beliefs and tradition and even though tradition is bad at times.....sometimes...it's the best, otherwise, there might be trouble. Okay, okay, I'm not making any sense here.....I hope someone can understand me and not call me closed-minded because I seriously understand all of this, but...um....I have to go now, so I'll post more later. Sorry, sorry!
