A guys perspective

Well the women have definitely made their point on the subject. Personally, I think it is great that women have achieved what they have, to get out of the house and be an individual. While at the same time I'm seeing a pretty bad trend that might be directly or indirectly related to that. Honestly, I believe that the morals and values that use to define the family in this country are getting worse everyday. Parents are getting divorces, not spending time with their kids, which in result has given the media the opportunity to raise our children. Coming from a divorced family it makes me sick to see how the family gets tossed around these days. While I know that women want to be liberated and show that they can achieve, but at what cost? Talk to any house mom and I guarentee they will tell you that there life has been far from a waste. Being able to watch your kids grow and provide a loving household is not such a bad thing. By saying this I don't imply that the women should do all of the grunt work around the house while pappy comes home and sips on his budweiser. That to me seems like a wasted life for the husband. Im sure a lot of you women are throwing up your arms saying that I would just be intimadated by my wifes success. Thats not the case, thats not me, I want my future wife to have her own mind and opinions. A women can be productive and an asset to society even if she decides to stay home and take care of the house. Productiveness does not always have to revolve around money. Well thats my opinion, maybe im totally off, but an open mind is the best mind.
