However, as women climb the educational and salary scale, as more women go to college than men, a gap will continue to grow.
yeah it's becoming apparent as gender barriers fall and new career paths open the average woman is more studious and dedicated than most men...and I'm okay with that, let the cream rise to the top and we'll have a better world...
I disagree I don’t think people should get married at 22 I think they should get married close to 30. They should experience the world and do all the things you cannot do when you were married. A single life is different than a married one. You can always get married but you can’t get single unless you get divorced
30 is too many years to regress to the self-indulgence of childhood. You need to move from family life (and all the compromise that involves) directly to married life, to have the best chance of success. The group with the worst stats for divorce are those who married well into adulthood, and after having multiple partners. The VERY worst are those who lived together prior to marriage.
Actually the worst stats for divorce are from those who married too young. And a lot of the reasons people divorce who marry Young is because they feel they missed out on so much… And I think they did. Had I married my first fiancé I would have missed out on some great years..I guess it’s called sowing those wild oats. And sow I did!
as I told my daughters ...get your career established and see the world before you get married or at least before you have kids of your own....and they have, good for them...I expect to open grampas daycare in a few years but I'm in no hurry...
Wow, you will actually sit there and deny women bully other women more then men? https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldv...n-are-the-worst-kind-of-bullies/#5e92b91736b7 Women bully women mostly and men bully men mostly. https://www.workplacebullying.org/wow-bullying/
You guys might be "open" to discussing your trysts, but that doesn't stop women from talking about other women.
Hopefully the biological clock doesn't count out before starting that family. I agree being married at 22 is too young, most women and men are not mentally stable enough to be married so young. But we must also take into account that for our population to survive, the reproduction rate for women needs to be 2.1 for sustainability in western countries, and having kids so much later in a womans life means that the pregnancies need to be almost back to back. If not and the time of conception gets pushed back even further, the likelihood of abnormalities for the baby and strain on the womans bodies is greatly increased. I am also sure that you don't want the time off during pregnancies to be counted against the woman even though the world and her job keep functioning without her being there. Getting 12 weeks off must be great for the woman and still get advancement opportunities when the men aren't afforded the same luxuries. This is why you can't mandate equal treatment for men and women when they both have different needs and desires. The men will typically work an extra 8 hours a week more than women.
having trouble following the thread? not surprising it seems common to most of the misogynists here...
I'd like to see valid links on that, as I would say that those that marry young, will likely grow apart as they mature, and those that marry in late 20s and early 30's have a better chance at remaining married. I was married at 23, divorced at 25. Remarried at 32, after living together for 4 years. Coming November will be 26 years married....
I never denied anyone and you never were denied anything. You just make your living getting a bunch of unqualified women to jump up and down in hysterics, demanding advancement over men without having to demonstrate better performance.
NEWS FLASH: Women are pickier about their potential mates than men! Also, water is wet and the Pope is Catholic. Well duh! Women have to be pickier, the risk is much greater. A man only risks the few minutes it takes to get his rocks off. A woman risks a lifetime of raising offspring without financial support.
I encouraged my daughter to marry later and then she was almost 30 and I was fearing I would never be a grandmother. But she met this great guy and I am now a professional grandmother. My husband said something that was so interesting about the granddaughters, “they fill a void I didn’t know was empty“I never saw a grandfather like him Your daughter is lucky to have a father who thinks like you
Yes women indeed talk about other women that’s because we get emotionally intimate with women. We talk about each other , we talk for each other, we talk at each other etc. in my workshops with adults I will ask how many women have a close friend who they share their secrets with and confide their insecurities , Practically every hand goes up. When I ask men the same question maybe one or two. That’s is our strength and you are reducing it to the negative. .... I once did an exercise with my middle school students asking them how their lives would be different if they were the opposite gender and every year some boys would say they would be able to share their secrets with a friend.
That seems to be what men like to discuss their trysts...real or imagined It isn’t a virtue that men don’t talk about other men because very often it would help them share some of their insecurities or some of their problems..
So that’s how I make my living? But like a true extremist you create a false scenario and then get yourself all hysterical and petrified that women are going to make you less. I also have to laugh that you say you never denied anyone anything as though you’re some big cheese. That’s wonderful that you never denied anyone anything...But you aren’t Yale that denied me admission because I was a girl with top grades. But you weren’t the bank that denied me a credit card in my own name when I married. You weren’t the man who denied women the basic right of voting. You aren’t the man denying a woman the right to an abortion But because of these women jumping up and down in hysterics as you say, these things are realities even though you see these women as inferior. Get used to it boy
Yeah that’s why men get married just to get laid… LOL and it’s interesting that you see a woman raising a child as having to support it if there is a divorce and that there would be no financial support as you said. What kind of men do you know that don’t pay child support?
I have no difficulty at with women breaking glass ceilings etc etc etc. Good for them. However, I am fully aware that women are different than me, for better and for worse etc etc etc. I have never been alone with a women not a family member professionally and very, very few personally. Should I come to realize (or even suspect) a woman has a hidden agenda, I will shut her out personally and as much as possible professionally, without ever discussing it with her, without letting her discover it if possible. Why is this? Women are indeed different than men, and each fight secretly (or not) in their own ways. I refuse to participate. Before anyone goes bonkers, I am fully capable of working for women (did it in the Army and in private business), and I have voted for women politically. They are fully capable of being great Presidents. But I refuse access to women not in my family and not some of them as well.
Does not matter. I treat women fairly in the political and social and economic realms, but keep them at an arms length.
