That is your proof? A long time ago, when the dragon started to eat the moon, the villages would bang gongs to scare the dragon away and in so doing, the moon was spared. Today we call that an eclipse. However, you could, back then, also say that banging the gongs gets rid of the dragon. Why else would the moon be back after some gongs going off?

So it worked for my parents. Does it mean it works for me? BTW, my parents were a 2 income household. Mom had her own career.

Whatever you say. I am betting that you don't actually use this strategy to make money in real estate.

Now she is at your mercy. Should she have her own career, things are different. Yes, divorce is up. However, the problem you may cite is that women are more independent. Also, they don't have to put up with as much crap as the previous generations did because they can paddle their own boat. Why is a woman going for a career screwing up things and you not? Because it doesn't fit into the idea that the man is the one that brings home the bacon?

OK, where is the documented evidence for this housing issue since you have been proved right? Anyone collaborates this notion with you that has proven facts?

I am saying that even back then, it happens that things changed. My grandma could do nothing about it besides take it lying down. So yes, if that is how you are judging that things are not working, you are right. However, that is only if you feel that a woman should have to stick with a man who has changed even if she doesn't really want to but cannot move because she has no choices.

Proven facts? Is this court, relax. Or come to Bakersfield. I'll show you all the people who are never home with 2000 dollar cars and a 450K house.

Yes, things change. Like I said, simply dont get married if you aren't going to have kids, kids need attention, someone should stay home, the best suited for it should do it, blah blah blah.....

There are reasons to get married that have nothing to do with children.

Sure you do, if people want a house they pay. I dont mean hi come in have a seat, oh you both work? 500, not 250. Its the process in pricing houses etc..

I think the problem may be that you want to live in Bakersfield. I don't. Houses don't cost 500K where I live, unless they're simply huge or come with a lot of land.

One day I may own a place with a lot of land, but I have no use for a huge house.

Then you're still living a world which is simply dreaming for utopia. It's not coming.

One very good reason is to have a say about medical care, should your spouse become disabled.

Well, you said you have been proven right. Therefore, it is natural to ask the source.

How do you decide who is best suited then? What if your wife dies? The house will fall apart? If not, then either you will not learn those skills necessary or you are mentally unable to learn them.

I dont want to live here. I hate this town. It's where the moneys at. And even on my relatively high income, I can't get a nice house, unless there are 2 relatively high incomes. Actually, its not doubled here, its in th 350% increase range, over 5 years, more than one reason for this here.

In summary, basically, a lot of social ill's can be blamed on women's lib. I'm not saying they shouldnt or cant do stuff, but families are getting less functional and kids are more screwed up because nobodys taking care of them and having a career and a good family and a nice house and 3 new MB's doesn't really happen. Sometimes you can't have it all.

Proven yes, but to a degree. I don't have a recording from Greenspan and sworn testimony from the secret 7 who run real estate. Sense isn't common.

I told you already how to choose whos best suited, but I shouldn't have to....Whoevers best at it?????????

So if we keep women barefoot and pregnant, life is good? Why waste an education on them then, right?

Like I asked, how many would be willing to put their lives in their spouses hands in this world and not Utopia? Ever thought that maybe they are getting an education and career so they don't have to put up with whatever the man dishes out? Or do you agree that to be functional, they should have to?

OK. How about the "Me Tarzan, You, Jane" world then? Who defines what "man" things are and what "woman" things are? That is lame.

I'm able to do "woman" things and she is able to do "man" things. That way when either of us is unable, the other can step in. There was a time I was out of a job for a while and she was bring in the bacon. There was a time when I was bringing in the bacon. Because of that, we both ate all the time instead of hinging everything financial on me and everything household on her.
