(318 posts)I was responding to what you wrote:
"Also, their wives work because they want to."
That's simply not true and it is a class issue. But all I said, originally, was that younger men expect their wives to work. This is an indicator of a more progressive attitude within the evolution of attaining the ideal of gender equality.That was certainly not the case when I was young. And it's still not the case among Christian Evangelicals. But the root causes of this progressive attitude is not limited to enlightenment, education, or even a liberal bent, it also has to do with economics -- primarily the tax structure. (Before you pick on that, please note that I said "not limited to."
But this is getting to be exhausting. I suppose that within any set of comments -- any time or any where -- there could be an example or an impression or an observation cited to refute them. I give up.
