    Feminism has now made it so she must work also.
    And maybe be the sole income if she couldn't keep her husband.
    America use to have the intact family with one income living in
    a home in the suburbs. The Wonder Years was real.

    Yep, the good old days. Not the same as now.
    Now we know that priests molested little boys and we don't ignore it.

    Now women don't have to hang around in abusive marriages and the state will support her and her kids if the husband is an improvident loser.

    There is no fault divorce.

    A husband who needs to kept isn't much of a prize and I'm not referring to financial support.

    How times have changed...I wonder if I was younger, and my wife had just had a baby, and I refused
    to breast feed the baby, would I be called a misogynist if I said "thats your job"
    Its interesting how feminists jump up and down when they're criticized...maybe thats why theyre
    called "feminazis"....a more truthful word has never been used....

    Just chatting about if we should continue to pull out a chair for a woman to sit on, open the door of a car for them and pay for dinner....just wondering if they still deserve the courtesy...

    Looks like feminism has taken hold in Australia.

    Same thing happened in Sweden.

    Maybe this is just the natural social progression of where wealthy societies go when there are not other bigger problems (war, economic deprivation) to worry about.

    Of course one could argue it eventually leads to self-destruction.

    I don't like the idea of making movies to promote special groups, like housewives, women, minorities, or gay people. They should just make movies to make good stories. However, they shouldn't consistently negatively stereotype certain groups.

    Problem: Media does not produce any depictions of a woman satisfied and happy
    being a full time wife and mother.
    Females are stereotyped as happy professional women or alcoholic / battered wives & mothers.
    Don't you think the media has been out to destroy the intact family unit? Movies to promote.

    Have you seen Babe? There were lots of women satisfied with being full time wives and mothers.

    I honestly don't see a lot of alcoholic and battered wives in movies, some might do it to increase the drama factor. I do see a lot of wives in movies and tv shows, who aren't major career women, and seem just fine to me. These women tend to be supporting characters because there just isn't much of an entertaining cinematic story about something staying at home with no personal issues. Usually movies will focus on people with an exciting job, or going out and doing an exciting mission, or has some personal issues to resolve. The tv show desperate housewives depicts housewives, and does present them so that you root for these housewives. It does cast them as very imperfect with major personal problems, because the show would be very boring without any drama. You gotta have one of them hiding a murder, or having a domestic violence problem, or the husband is cheating.
