ORIGINAL: Firebirdseeking I wish I had a dollar for every woman who works her 8 hours, just like her man, and when they come home, he does his thing while she still has the second shift at home, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the kids. And I wish I had a dollar for every woman I heard bitching about this while I see continued evidence to the contrary. Nearly every man in my family shares, if not does more than his share of the household chores. And growing up, my father, though he probably doesn't deserve that title, actually cooked more often than not and he was born in the 40's. Your pointing to 'women doing the second shift at home' is as ludicrous as your claim of my pointing out the 'few' cases of false accusations. By the way, just because a false accusation doesn't make the news every night doesn't mean it's less common than the real crime. It's just less talked about because in our society, despite the laws proclaiming people innocent until proven guilty, the big, bad abusers are often guilty until they prove themselves innocent. Often longer than that since, in the media, they're guilty the moment the accusation is made. The trouble with that, is there is never repercussions for the false accuser....not even so much as a perjury charge. quote:
ORIGINAL: Firebirdseeking In most places in the world, women still do not have the same rights and privileges as men. We aren't talking about the world, we're talking about the rest of the world, unless I'm mistaken. "Soooooo" many people want the big, bad U.S. to stay out of their affairs, so therefore we can't point to their cultures and societies to make our point about women's lack of rights. Can't have it both ways.
