Reply #94: I'd prefer any of the corporate jobs I've had over the full time drudgery of housework

[Lorien]

as a stay at home housewife or mother. No wonder so many women in the 1950's ended up shut away in mental hospitals or killing themselves-menial labor like that is soul killing after a while! I've read that marriage ads 20 hours of such labor to a woman's week and subtracts as many from a man's, so I see zero benefit in marriage for any woman...except a lucky few. I know a handful with helpful husbands who do at least half the chores around the home. A few others are full time house husbands-two treat it like a serious job, one sits around all day watching TV and playing video games, then whines about what his wife fixes for dinner or that she didn't finish the laundry. I see a rather lonely future ahead of him.
