I cannot believe that this old chesnut (women have it easy because we can get hitched) has come out of the fire again.
---What a joy it is to know that instead of getting an education, a job, owning property, contributing to my community, and caring for my family...all I have to do is find me a big hunky man and all of my needs, wants, desires, trials, failures, and successes will be taken care of. Whew, I was worried I might have to think for myself, instead I've given up all the power I ever had to my husband. Now, I feel complete. Who wants cookies? Or how 'bout a blow job...I've finally learned my place.
Interesting that the patriarchy spends centuries making it impossible for women to support themselves (denied access to education, property, business ownership, unequal pay.. etc), and then it chides us for attempting to make our way in the world on the ONE thing it's let us cultivate...our bodies. Not that we have control over our bodies either, they are simply vessels...right? Then, we're suprised once the system does start to change just a bit that throwbacks to the old power/economic system still exist...and because they do this man feels like we've got it easy.
Anonymous Coward, it's almost the 21st Century and women of all kinds aren't going away. You wouldn't be wasting your time if you found out more about us. We've had centuries of listening the likes of you!
