Now what do you think of the idea of women being housewives?

I think that it all depends on the couple and their expectations. If that is truly her desire then, that is what she should do. It is hard in this economy to sustain a family on a single income.

No and no. I would surely hope that at this point people are warming up to the idea of having a female leader.  Other countries have and are doing just fine.

its a lure for the housewives, but it is a conspiracy by the government. they were so sad to see housewives bored at home so they sent some ppl to special refrigeator schools to grow the giant buttcracks to entertain the housewives...

Desperate? They shouldn't be. In my country the wives are both - taking care of the house and the children and working on full time job. So why are the US wives desperate when they are only staying at home?

I agree with you dei . . . \n\nGreat women are rare . . . \n\nAnd Ashley . . . you are correct also . . . a dedicated homemaker requires lots of passion . . . but I believe Dei (the asker) is also speaking in generalization.\n\nLook at the world around you . . . most women . . . are looking for a guy . . . to usually pay their way through life . . . because through feminism . . . they are taught that they deserve it.  \n\nTrue women work . . . and generally in the corporate or fiscal world . . . they don't work as hard as men, work as many hours, or they take time off for incidentals.  \n\nMen go to work . . . 8 hours a day . . . work overtime when asked with no complaints . . . even if we are sick . . . we still go to work.\n\nProfessional women . . . they go to school and get a good career or job . . . but then they decide that they want a baby.  They take a leave of absence . . . and when they come back . . . they are back at their job . . . usually part time . . . because they want to spend time at home with the baby or they don't even return to work at all.  \n\nWomen generally want to marry up . . . (marry someone who makes more money than them).  When they do . . . then they think more about their relationship than work and their work suffers.\n\nLet's talk about women who do not work . . . the housewives sect.  Because the age of women's lib . . . women stop doing the things that are normally a traditional gender role in the home.  \n\nDo you know how many women I dated . . . who don't even know how to make a grilled cheese sandwiche.  Or have problems cleaning the house . . . or do the laundry.  You know how many times . . . I came home from work late . . . and asked what's for dinner (to a fiancee) . . . and she says "you have two hands . . . do it yourself"  Many guys will say they heard that from their gf and/or wives.\n\nWomen often say they are taken advantage of . . . by men from the work they do at home or at a secular career.  If that is the case . . . why do women live longer than men.  And with women's libs . . . and mother's on strike . . . men not only work 40-60 a week but they also do housework too . . . is that fair . . . no it is not.\n\nAsh . . . you are an exception to the rule . . . but that is a rarity . . . a prize . . . your husband must love you a lot . . . and you must love your husband a lot to support him . . . in his career endeavors . . . as he supports you in getting a better education.\n\nSomeone like you . . . is something to be proud of . . . but women in general . . . no . . . I don't thinks . . . because most (in general) are self-centered.

There are plenty of philippino house maids inthe GCC, whole day they slog and in return they get no respect, no food. Above all they got to satisy their sponsors sexually. All this is done whether they want or not.\n\nThe voice is raised on this to rescue these females(house maids)

yeah, i probably would. i think that there are pretty nice looking women. i have never been with a woman, but i have always thought about what it would be like. hell, if they're gonna pay me, why not try it then? at least i would be getting paid, right?

I think it's another excuse for women to hump men....period!.\nAnd I like the idea.

Yes we are!! I think it's because they lack respect for women. I think they were raised with "old school" traditions when women "knew there place". They can't handle the fact that women have stepped up to the plate where they have failed miserably. When they encounter problems they whine about it while we deal with it. They resent us.

No!!\nWomen should be at home around the kitchen, that's where they belong, unless called upon to perform some sexual function as and when required! They have far to much freedom as it is!\nHope this helps?

a homemaker, or "housewife" as you probably know, is a woman who stays home, taking care of the kids, cleaning, cooking, that sort of thing. The term "housewife" is used because the wife stays in the house, and maintans it.

I may not be able to make babies with all these women but can I play with them to? I already play with myself so that is a given. You know it sounds like we should all get together for a big clothing optional party. I'll bring the camcorder so we get all the good times on film. Maybe make a little money on the side. \nLove & Light\nSharon

The life you are having now is your job. Even though you are a housewife, it also consider a job.

Makes me wonder if the guys who are in favor of it would be in favor of sharing their Wives with other men as well.\n\nAfterall it should go both ways.\nSomehow I am doubting the guys would be in favor of that :)

Women do it!  (Myself included!)\n\nI had three friends over last night and we were talking about it...3 out of 4 of us (75%) do it regularly and the other one wants to now.  lol  So that should tell you something...

I would be a housewife because I love taking care of my home & family. I live for the day that my husband tells me that I can just stay at home & take care of the house, work on projects & that sort of thing.\n\nIf I had to work outside of the home, I'd want to be an astronaut...at a time when we are engaging in deep space exploration missions. Might as well go for the whole enchilada, huh?\n\nI used to want to be president but have since learned enough about myself to know that I'd probably land us in the middle of WWIII because someone would take offense to my directness :)

Expectations are higher. Women are now supposed to be able to "do it all". this means retaining their roles as domestic goddesses, while being super mothers, AND having well-paid jobs. \n\nTry adding up the time it takes each day to do all of these things, and you'll see it's impossible without help. No wonder I'm so bloody exhausted!
