Some even see this as "admirable."

I think this is a good thing.

Get women out of the workplace because by and large they are useless anyway. Then we can have fair expenses cuts which get rid of the stupid admin positions that women were taking up anyway.

The 'lady of leisure' thing will wear out once the economic correction happens and they have no money and the average man has economic leverage over them.

Let them use whatever justifications they want for it. It might even mean that some children grow up with actual parents around, like it is supposed to be.

I am against it.

I am not in favor of taking care of "grown ass adults" while I am at work. On top of that, since a stay-at-home Mom's income is ZERO, guess who will get raped at divorce court?? I rather have a working chick and PREFERABLY one that makes at least 80% of my income. That is more money in my pocket and less money I would lose in divorce court. Besides, if you have kids who are in school all day, what in the hell is a stay-at-home Mom going to do all day?

Why would you even get married Urban Nerd if you predict you'll get a divorce?

It's not "predicting"...it's basic risk assessment when you factor in how the western world works. In countries, where feminism is not so prevalent where wives do NOT have all the power in the court system...I can see going into marriages more blindly on just love. In North America, a wife can basically say "hey, I am tired of being married...I want half" and will get it....especially if she never generated income or generated very little income.

One major assumption I see being made is that these women would actually perform the tasks associated with being a traditional "housewife." I can envision a number of them complaining about needing "help," and demanding hubby work even harder to pay for a housekeeper on top of everything else. I'm not completely opposed to a woman leaving the workforce for a time to attend to her children before they enter school. After that, she needs to get back to work.

I can see that, easily.

I think the reason there is some disagreement in this thread is because people are looking at it from two different time frames. Initially, it'd be pretty shit, because women would just sit and shop for clothes and watch sex and the city, dream about unicorns and whatever the hell else that women do.

But further along the line you've got to factor in that they'd be less economically empowered, so they'd have to behave otherwise they'd not be able to snag a guy and his wallet. Whereas now they do all that Sex and the City we don't need a man shit and fuck the average guy over while riding the alpha carousel.

Some way or another, it needs to stop.

LAZY stay-at-home moms are useless. I'm not going to say that a woman that's attending to her children, home, cooking for her family etc. is useless. I'll say this...it burns me to see a woman out with her child AND the nanny to attend to the kid while she shops or something like that. I mean damn - attend to and interact with your own kid for christ's sake!

DIVORCE PARTY!!!

"Recently Divorced" Game.

You just gotta master the 'Indifferent to my wife taking my money' and 'Aloof about her sleeping with the plumber' attitudes.
