but isn't this what men talk about when they discuss the "new" women of today?? They don't cook, clean, etc.. Back in the day, women took care of their men..whether they thought it was fair or not that they had to cook after working all day..
I'm not being critical..just curious as to what you think...

Yes, back in the day some women took care of men, but they also took care of the finances, kids, home, etc. I don't know if this happened in every family, but my grandmother and her kids (my father and aunt) talk about how she held everything down in the house. When my grandfather came home when it was payday that check went from his hands to hers and she would give him his allowance because Pop like to spend his money like water.
But AA women are taking on more untraditional roles. During Skee-week at my university I attended a financial informational. AA women are more likely to have checking accounts, homes, money in stocks, and do more wise financial planning then our AA males and I just through that this was sad. Some of our AA males focus so much of their money on clothes, cars, and what they see the rappers on t.v. have that they forget that these things are for the here and now, but an investment can last forever. But then I understand the history behind AA women being more money smart.
But PLEASE don't expect me to also bring home the bacon and cook it to everyday. Again, if they want someone to cook and clean for them, then they also have to bring something to the table.
