U R AWARE OF THE ATMOSPHERE IN THE 40 AND 50'S...WOMEN WERE DISMISSED,SEXUALIZED
AND EXPECTED TO BE "BAREFOOT AND PREGNANT,' TO USE A ARCHAIC TERM....ALL THE POWER WAS WITHIN THE MALES DOMAIN. then the pill came along....THAT EQUALIZED THE TERMS OF A RELATIONSHIP....AND THEN THAT FACTOR CREATED A COUNTER APPROACH TO THE FEMALE/MALE EQUATION.
FEAR OF BEING PREGNANT AND NEEDING A FINANCIAL FOUNDATION WAS NO LONGER PART OF THE MINDSET...BINGO,WOMEN DECIDED TO GET JOBS,HAVE THEIR OWN MONEY, AND CREATE A LIFE,OTHER THAN "THE PERFECT WIFE,WITH THE MARTINI AWAITING THE MAN AT THE DOOR. i NEVER TRULY WATCHED ALL OF "MAD MEN" ON TV, BUT FROM WHAT I DID SEE, THAT WAS A REALITY...2ND CLASS CITIZEN...HERE HONEY, GO GET MY COFFEE,AS THE LITTLE SLAP ON THE BUTT WAS EXECUTED.... WOMEN HAVE REBELLED,BECAUSE FOR SO LONG THEY WERE INVISIBLE AND EXPECTED TO BE SUBSERVIENT.
I SEE THE FLIP SIDE OF THE COIN....THE PENDULUM HAS SWUNG TOO FAR IN DIRECTION,IT NEEDS TO COME BACK TO CENTER,....JUST LIKE OUR PRESENT GOVERNMENT.

Do you believe today’s single “I don’t need no man” women are happier or less happy than the women of the 50’s?
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
i CAN ONLY SPEAK TO THE SECTOR OF WOMEN WHO R PRESENTLY DIVORCED (AFTER YEARS OF MARRIAGE)....ALL OF THEM HAVE STATED THE SAME SENTIMENT....DON'T WANT TO RE MARRY...TIRED OF PICK ING UP AFTER A MAN, TIRED OF HAVING MY OWN JOB AND THEN HAVE A SECOND SHIFT OF DOUBLE LAUNDRY,DOUBLE COOKING AND NOT HAVING SHARED HOUSEHOLD DUTIES....SO MUCH SIMPLER TO BE SOLO....IF I WANT TO READ A BOOK ALL DAY AND ORDER IN,IT'S NOT A HASSLE. YES, IT IS LONELY SOMETIMES, BUT TO HAVE A CHOICE IS
WORTH IT.....I CAN'T EVEN WRAP MY MIND AROUND "DATING" IN TODAY'S TERMS....TOO MUCH BRAIN DAMAGE.
Both sexes are getting much more selfish, one of the reasons people are no longer having children. They take an incredible amount of money, energy, and time.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Rick wrote: Maybe selfish, but I think that’s just a natural result of not trusting the opposite sex and choosing to be alone.
I BELIEVE IT IS THE EXPECTATIONS, DON'T THINK IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT...THE FEMALE EXPECTS SUPPORT/SHARING DOMESTIC DUTIES, IF SHE IS WORKING FULL TIME,THE MALE STILL WANTS THE "WONDER YEARS WIFE" (TV SHOW) AND BALKS AT HAVING TO DO HIS FAIR SHARE, ESPECIALLY IF THERE R KIDS INVOLVED....THE EQUATION HAS CHANGED,SO THE EXPECTATIONS R DIFFERENT.

But foreign wives will. Expect more Philippines and Latin American wives in the coming decades.
And Eastern European like Ivana and Melania.
THE PROBLEM WITH THAT CONCEPT IS THIS...THEY ALL WANT AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP ,FINDING A MAN TO MARRY IN AMERICA IS THAT SOLUTION. i HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THAT CONCEPT...MY PREVIOUS MASSEUSE WAS FROM THAILAND,VERY IMPOVERISHED AND FOOD FOR THE FAMILY WAS ALWAYS A PROBLEM....SHE FOUND AN AMERICAN MAN AND CAME TO AMERICA,GOT OUT OF THE SAD SCENARIO AT HOME. THE MARRIAGE WAS A GOOD ONE,THEY WERE FRIENDS (EVEN TO THIS DAY),BUT EVENTUALLY SHE WANTED OUT OF THE MARRIAGE, SHE LEFT HER PRACTICE HERE IN MONTROSE AND WENT TO SAN DIEGO....SINGLE AND JUST PETITE CUTIE. (SHE TOLD ME SHE GAINED 10 LBS WHEN SHE LEFT HER HOMELAND)
GUESS WHAT, WITHIN 18 MO SHE WAS REMARRIED TO A BUSINESSMAN IN SAN DIEGO.
