Marion, no need to apologize (“Sorry, Dave”) – your opinion of me is irrelevant. Like many of your posts, the rest of your previous post is cliched dime store sophistry. But at least you’re consistently entertaining. And I appreciate that. Keep up the good work.
More specifically, however, you stated that “to say a woman shouldn’t be compensated for doing housework and putting her career aside to raise children is a very greedy and self-serving perspective.” Were you forced into this arrangement? It sure looks like you chose this deal for yourself. I’ll agree that doing housework and putting aside your career to raise children doesn’t sound like a good deal but, again, you decided to participate. It was your choice.
PJ,
“You quit your job for however many years…” – This looks suspiciously like a choice.
“You destroy your body breeding for your husband.” This also looks suspiciously like a choice and assumes that only the husband is interested in the “breeding,” which is almost never the case.
“You work for free…” – Again, sounds like a choice, and it’s not “free” as the husband has to pay for food, shelter, etc. (presuming the woman is not working).
“Now ask yourself what all that would cost if you had to pay someone to do it for however many years.” Yup, you’d have to pay a nanny from the Czech Republic $150/week plus provide food and shelter.
OK, back to the dungeon to nurture my dark and empty soul. Bwahahahahaha…
