   [h3]Don't Marry Career Men: Forbes hankers for the '50s
[/h3]Hey, this would be a funny way to start an article in Forbes, wouldn't it?[/p] [blockquote]Girls: A word of advice. Marry handsome men or ugly ones. Short ones or tall ones. Bald or hairy. Just, whatever you do, don't marry a man with a career. Why? Because if many social scientists are to be believed, you run a higher risk of having a rocky marriage. While everyone knows that marriage can be stressful, recent studies have found professional men are more likely to get divorced, more likely to cheat, less likely to have children, and, if they do have kids, they are more likely to be unhappy about it. A recent study in Social Forces, a research journal, found that men -- even those with a "feminist" outlook -- are happier when their wife is the primary breadwinner.[/p][/blockquote] Right.  Now, reverse each gender reference above, and you're reading a real Forbes article: [a href="vny!://www.forbes.com/careers/2006/08/21/careers-marriage-dating_cx_mn_0821women.html"]Don't Marry Career Women[/a]. 2006, meet 1956. Pathetic.[/p]

Believe it or not all the girls around here want it to be the 50's. They have openly stated that they never want to work and want to have kids by 25.  I think they've been brain washed by the republican party and the catholic church.

Of course that what they want- all play and no work.

Who wouldn't want to sit on their ass all day watching TV and stuffing themselves while their significant other ("husband") went out and worked himself to death so they could enjoy a life of leisure? Work is no fun and they know it. Rather than working for a living it's so much easier to freeload off of your husband and make him do that money-earning thing, while you simply enjoy the fruits of his labor. As a woman, your job should be to spend the money he makes. It's a no-brainer.

I take it that "all the girls around here" are not themselves in their 70's, which is the requirement for having any real memory or actual knowledge of what being in the 1950's was all about. They may be punch drunk on a fantasy of some other time... kind of like wanting to be alive back in the days of chivalry, but only as a lord or lady, not as a surf.

Being in the 1950's was rather too much like today - vacillating between being bored or scared.  Talk about a cult of mediocrity, but that's too simplistic because a lot of good social legislation and peple's politics got its start in the 1950's.  It wasn't all St Joe McCarthy and Happy Daze.

And as for the Catholic church, they're on record as being in favor of women pursuing occupations of service helping other people - dimetrically opposed to the selfish hedonism of the Republican Party (which, when you're referring to George W's party ought to be capitalized as a proper noun, so as to not be confused with anything as egalitarian as a republic). It's Geogre W's [font size="-1"]Western Hemisphere Institute for Security that is applauding the demise of liberation theology, not the Catholic church, whose preists and bishops were murdered by CIA backed thugs.

Not where I live the Catholic Church and the Republican Party are joined together at the hip.
