The fourth option
Here’s why it’s a fourth option; I see most of you in these:
- Yes, but it’s good and I’m in some way liberal
- Yes, but it’s bad and I’m in some way conservative
- Nothing new is happening, it’s as it always was
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When tackling subjects like this you have to know who you're talking to. If someone opposes because he wants women back in the kitchen just cooking and giving birth, the conversation is useless.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Today it’s even worse; we’ll listen to women if what’s coming out of their mouth is formerly imagined in men’s heads. Today, it is either be quiet or talk like a man. Womanhood is being treated as something that should be erased completely.
And, guys... let me tell you... most of us here are men and some might hold this against me, but at the end of the day you gotta see we’re not all that right. With us it’s just about what we like to do and what we stubbornly persist upon even when we know we’re wrong. Forwarding the notion that even women are better when they simply act as men is utterly manlike.
This is bad. And even much worse for it is not being recognised as bad by almost anyone; not by men, not by women, or any political option. It’s only the Teabag party for all the wrong reasons.
Now, being serious about this subject; you could tell me why I’m wrong and why, perhaps some of you see how this will all be beneficial in the long run,
I broke this into separate sections, mainly because these are the points I'm more interested in for my reply.
WRT Hollywood's 'output', I haven't seen much more than remakes with new people and bigger, louder, more specialer special effects. If that's the best they can do, I would rather watch a live concert video or some kind of series on Amazon Prime. Some classics have been remade four times, with different names.

As to your comment about women being in the kitchen and at home- my thoughts are not from any desire to prevent anyone from doing anything, but even now, kids who have a stay-at-home mom often turn out better than kids who are passed around like a hot potato from parents to day care to nanny, to playground, to gang to constant time alone or wherever they end up. Regardless of who raises the kids, it's up to the parents to teach them how to act, give them a set of moral standards and actually participate in the kids' growth. So many times, we see that kids go off the rails and nobody saw it coming. If they had grown up with parents who were involved, and this can mean having a stay at home mom, it's likely that the events wouldn't have happened. I know some of these moms- they stay at home because they want the best for their kids but the sticky point- they do it because they can afford to and that's not possible for most because the cost of living has risen so much. However, let's look at why that cost has risen so much- want. The word 'want' has been replaced by the word 'need'. People say they need things, but it's simple want, because they see others with whatever it is that they want. Some would prefer to get it for themselves, some want life to give it to them though government mandate. Some have given up trying to make the effort to get things honestly, so they resort to "other means". The kids who have been raised by their stay at home moms are all excelling in school and are taught to be good citizens. This doesn't mean they're like some of the moms when I was a kid- they were often frustrated, abusive, some drank a lot, some didn't seem to care and most didn't get any instruction from their moms, for various reasons but they all seemed to change as soon as we were old enough to handle some amount of independence and they were able to get a job. I don't remember many who were in business, engineering/technical/medical (unless they were nurses) and having a long career wasn't in their mindset.
I think more moms could stay at home so they can prevent the problems that will come from their kids being raised by other kids and strangers but they need to reconcile their lives with/without kids or with/without that career. It would be tragic to give up on one and regret it later but it needs to be their choice, not someone at school or by society.
On a similar angle, I think schools have a lot to answer for WRT career choices- it has been known for a long time that girls do better than boys in some areas of math and science, but around puberty, the girls have been steered away from STEM and toward more domestic pursuits. Let them do what they do well and what interests them!

The best way to stop people imagining that something came from a man is to read it without knowing whose thoughts they are. Sure, some writing styles can show feminism/masculinity, but it can be a surprise to those who want to superimpose their thinking on what they read.
I know an electrical engineer who has been a stay at home mom and an architect who's a woman and has no interest in kids. Their social classes as children were very different.
IMO, women who want to act like men, like some of the ones in Congress and government in general are giving men a run for their money. It's not in their nature, but they can raise 'bad attitudes' and 'bad behavior' to unexpected heights.
People need to be more aware of their own behavior.
Who would care if Trump will like it and why?
