Good riddance!

[Bonobo]

to the old traditional idea that it's solely a father's job to work his life away and die an early death away from family and the children he has sired or adopted or raised as his own.

Bravo to the feminist movement for trying to get woman the freedom and equality that will allow them to pick up the slack.

1. they've come along way , baby

2. best move of my life was marrying a feminist a few decades ago

for that very reason. I don't have the personality to carve out a spectacular business career. So we shared the provider side and the domestic side right down the middle, to the benefit of all. It's been a great life

5. Crazy..

The alerter should think about taking the advice juror #2 has to offer..

[KansDem]

23. Well, I'm taking the advice!

And I not the alerter!

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

6. Uh oh....

An 0-6. Someone's gonna have a long day if they can't hit the button.

[In_The_Wind]

8. Excellent!

Maybe they will feel better after a 24 hour break.

[Warren DeMontague]

9. ....."snyde"?

like, Clyde?

[the_working_poor]

12. ...and it's backhanded COMPLIMENT!

A backhanded insult is.. well just an insult DUH

On the Ironic side of things, my exwife who owns half her dad's business WANTED to be a stay-at-home mother, sadly biological and economic realities had other ideas...

but it seems like if we HAD the chance for her to stay at home she would have been attacked by the current wave of frothing at the mouth feminists (not to be confused with the 99% or 'normal' feminists)

People... CHOICE means being able to CHOOSE something YOU don't like, but the CHOOSER does. that's the beauty of the system. That's the wonderful part of freedom. not all choices are universally liked, but that's free choice.

18. Just going by the way the alert is written and the spelling...

I would bet a bitcoin I know who sent it.

[L0oniX]

4. Explanation: Alerter ...please smoke some good weed and chill

That juror was me.

[seaglass]

7. I didn't alert. I generally agree with the sentiment of your post but think the

wording was unnecessarily antagonistic.

[Eleanors38]

22. Yea, the "tone" was a little off.

Women better make a lot more $ in the near future, way the economy looks.

[Warren DeMontague]

10. I agree with the OP. Rec'd.

I still can't figure out why it was alerted on, though.

[nomorenomore08]

13. Likely a matter of "seeing what they want to see," I would think.

And I rec'd the OP as well.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. Yeah, my posts are apparently like the Da Vinci code, to some folks.

I can say "my butt itches" and some people will be crunching the cabalistic significance of the letters involved to attempt to parse out the camouflaged insult or hidden meaning.

[Autumn]

19. I have sat here for two minutes playing with "my butt itches" to figure the code

15. Here's to the day when

men and women equally have the choice (both socially and financially) on what they want to do.

My husband has been the primary caretaker to our children for 17 years. We just had twin boys 9 months ago and he is still the primary caretaker. And he's pretty awesome at it, thank you very much. I just made more more than him, so he started staying home with them.

And then a bunch of jerks on DU think he's an MRA now because he disagrees with them.. pffttt whatever.

[Bonobo]

16. It sounds like you practice what they preach.

Good for you and your great husband.

[RiffRandell]

17. Yep, and Love Green Day.

Good Riddance:

[Darkhawk32]

21. I would've love if my ex-wife would've picked up some form of slack.

Now with family court loveliness, she slacks even more! OH JOY!!!

[the_working_poor]

24. And that only a mother can change diapers...

I'm a field tech so I see a LOT of places (wal-marts especially lately) and one thing my feminist heart is glad to see is that in the large stalls, and most MEN'S rooms now, they have a place to change diapers, and sit (and buckle) kids, so that a single dad can BE a dad and look after his kids.

My chance to be a parent in a loving relationship has long since passed, but im really glad to see that attitudes are changing, however slowly, about met being able to take care of their own damned kids, alone, and that we don't NEED a woman to do that for us.

LOL who ever thought being 'allowed to change dirty diapers' would be considered a step in the right direction for equal right eh?
