    Every woman asks this question. But there is no husband who would not want a beautiful wife to live with him. So, how does the equal rights thing work? After the above, why do women and feminists want it?

    I don't see the issue with couples agreeing that one partner will work 40 hours a week for 50 years, while the other will clean and maintain the house. I'd quite like the latter, to be honest.

    I know a few housewives who have been given the option to become the spouse who works, but don't want that - they want the husband to work 40 hour weeks, while they don't even help around the house - they just shop and complain.

    Indeed. Looks like equal rights work when women benefit from it, and don't work when women have to make an effort. I thought the elimination of the American job markets would have eliminated the entire equal rights con already.

    Equal pay = equal results. If they think there is coercion involved in the negotiation process (such as the employer bargaining with something that is not his), then they should go out and correct that coercion.

    But of course, they see the voluntary negotiation process itself as coercive, no matter if no theft or fraud has been initiated by the employer.

    That is because women want equality, until is comes to actually be treated equally.

    Equality means accepting the same expectations as everyone else. It does not work that way though, as many of my married friends have informed me. lol

    Housewives only exist because their husbands want them there and are willing to support them. Its a relationship which two parties have agreed upon and only focusing on some of the duties is not representing the true nature of the agreed relationship. You cannot blame the women or feminism for that, you can only lay responsibility to the people who've made the agreement. Feminism is about trying to get equal rights for women where it is shown not to exist - not mandated equal duties across genders haha, what a strange thread.

    It is remarkable how many men are so afraid of women wanting simply to be treated equally and they make up these fantastic stories. It is sad really.

    Well, Iw ould like to have a good looking girlfriend, but while looks are important to me, personality and compatibility are far more important.

    I wouldn't want someone who looks down upon me bevausr of different political or religious beliefs. I hate fighting.
