    Makes Perfect Sense to Me

    The *Modern Woman* wants it both ways - she wants to be respected and treated as an equal, but she also wants men to pay for everything and to be able to stay home with the kiddies all day. Sorry, doesn't work that way.

    I think part of the reason why divorce has skyrocketed since the 1960's is because of a move away from traditional roles. Think about it - what incentive do men have for marrying a woman if he's just going to come home from work and hear crap about HER day? AND have to bathe the kids and cook and clean? And make all the money?
