And there, in a nutshell, is the crux of the argument. At present, I'm (temporarily) completely dependent on my husband for food, shelter, clothing, and security -- the basic necessities of life. While this isn't a path I think I could walk for the rest of my marriage, if I
had to for some unforseen reason, I'd be okay with that, because I trust my husband to provide for me emotionally and financially.
Unless women can trust their partners completely, then perhaps it's not in anyone's best interest to be in a dependent situation.
Also, I think that for some people the word dependent equals passive. Just because you've made the choice to stay at home, it doesn't mean you sit around and watch soaps all day. You do things to keep your skills sharp. You find hobbies, you volunteer, you learn a new skill or trade. These are all things that can help you be better prepared in the event of a divorce or your husband's death.
