Explorer Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I have worked with many people from Central and South America. Most had families they were supporting back home. How well would the wife fare while the husband is in another country earning money if she were your version of a womanly woman? I would expect her to fare the same way that most women did when their husbands went off to war. Link to post Share on other sites
sally4sara Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I would expect her to fare the same way that most women did when their husbands went off to war. And these women, how well would they fare if they could not do what they counted on their husbands to do? I mean damn!, they're from another country so they are so much more feminine than American women - how will they survive if this is true? They couldn't possibly be able to do what their husbands did while they're gone. The point of marriage is to find a partner. Not someone who can't pick up the slack for the other if necessary. So what is so wrong with a woman who can be equal to her spouse? What is not womanly about that? Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I fully believe in equal partnerships but I have found that some women look at them as psychological warfare instead of actually being a partnership. A couple even if they have disagreements which every couple still should realize they are playing on the same team and are on the same side instead of being enemies at each other's throats.

Actually, I don't want an equal partner. Nobody is wholly perfect. I'm looking for someone to complement my weaknesses. It's like the macroeconomic principle that illustrates trading with countries. Each country should focus on what they produce best and trade with one another. The result would be each country would have more of each item that they could locally produce and all would be better off. Same with my future wife (Assuming I find someone ). As far as equality not being womanly - there's nothing womanly about doing the same things that man does and I think I've already explained why genders are naturally different. IMO, we should learn to accept and not resist. We are not equal. Edited February 18, 2010 by Explorer Link to post Share on other sites
Author Disillusioned Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 The problem which has been repeatedly pointed out by others before me is that since the 1980s, girls have been raised to believe that failure is unacceptable. In their quest for success, many seem not to care that their fiercely independent attitude has alienated a lot of men. Remember, too, all that money and power won't keep you from growing old.

Yeah Sally, call her father or brother to do it for her. Poor thing, hopefully she has a dad or a bro or she and the kids would starve to death. Link to post Share on other sites
sally4sara Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 We are not equal. You know, I absolutely agree..... I just don't think it has anything to do with our genders. Link to post Share on other sites

She just needs to focus on what she does best when she bonds with a partner. Link to post Share on other sites
