Make sure you let your wife build the fence, or someone here will call you a sexist!

AG listen up:


My kids go to daycare and many of the young women who watch the kids are hawt!!! Little man doesn't know how good he has it!

The above sentence is sexist, completely accurate, and should be taken with a grain of salt. or sugar. And at my age, checking out hot chicks for all of a couple of minutes before I have to drive the kids home, cook for them, do their laundry, bath them, and put them to bed is pretty freakin fine by me.

HELL YES!!!!!!

There's one blondie that works at my son's pre-school. Hottie!!!

I'm sorry, it's sexist to view women as objects.

Here come the PC police to take me away.

I really hope I haven't turned into an overly-PC asshole. But I think I was justified in this case. I'll leave it at that I guess.

It really wasn't justified in this case, but have a nice weekend and good luck with your classes..

Look. Sexism, like any other form of prejudice, comes in lots of different packages. It's more than just thinking that a woman should stay in the kitchen, just like how racism is so much more than just calling a person the n-word. Prejudice is about holding views which promote cultural falsehoods.

I'm not saying you're sexist. If you want to work so you can have more resources to provide for your daughter, that's fine. But that one sentence made it sound like you want to work because, as a man, you feel it's your duty to work and a woman's duty to take care of the kids. And yes, that is sexist. You might not have meant it that way, but that's how it sounded to some.

And I'm saying this as a man myself.

and this is EXACTLY my point. the phrases "mr. mom" and "man of house" and "role reversal" and "as a man I want to provide for my family" are all artifacts of a BAD way of prejudiced thinking/sexism.

exactly, and my point is, I would want to work too. I would go nuts stuck in the house looking after a little kid every single day, not earning money, not being on a team, not using my education, NOT PROVIDING etc. and I am a woman. and many, many woman share that sentiment. Just as many, many men are completely satisfied caring for their children full or part time.

the idea that woman are "better" at raising children or however you put it "have a softer touch" is ridiculous. this was a huge topic in my undergrad gender econ class, and I can say at the time, there was very little to no literature that supported this claim. I don't get what men like you want- you want to have kids, you want to be a dad, you want to buy the kids baseball gloves and whatnot, but then when the kids needs taking care of, women are "better" at it. You can't have your cake and it too. It's like getting a dog because you like to play fetch at the beach on weekends, but then expecting someone else get up at 5am to walk it and pick up its poop.

But the SIMPLE FACT remains....AG was asking about f*&^ing DAYCARE and leaving his little girl somewhere, and YOU turned it into a freaking therapy session for yourself YET AGAIN!! He didnt come here talking about seperation anxiety or if she would grow up to be a hooker if he took her to daycare. He was looking for some IDEAS about something and you twisted up AGAIN!!

Can you EVER take things for face value? Or do you HAVE to ANALYZE EVERYTHING? I personally do not think you are capable of doing that. There is and always will be a hidden agenda with you.

That's exactly how AG feels, only he's a guy. I don't think his point was keeping his wife home barefoot and pregnant. He is just trying to make a choice between help supporting his family by either working or staying home.

For some reason most guys feel comfortable working and bringing home the bacon.

Drop it or I'll come to your house and put a muzzle on ya!
LOL....................really.

At this point I could give a shit if I'm racist, sexist, or what the fuck ever.

Mine is, dammit! I baked exceptional anise/almond biscotti this morning. Hard as nails, and perfect. I'm telcommuting today. I was able to stay at home, bake and work - yippee!

My brother's a stay-at-home dad and from growing up you'd never think that it was something he'd considered. However, both he and his wife evaluated their finances, evaluated her earning potential (BIG!) and his (small) and realized it made financial sense for him to stay home. Also, they were able to have one stay-at-home parent. He is a construction worker, and he cooks exceptional grilled asparagus.

Okay, i'll bite. The man was only asking for help. Why do you feel to need to shit on everyone and/or dig into one's post until you find an angle to attack in order to promote yourself and your winning point of view ? This wasn't the topic of discussion. It's not about you and your education. I'm almost done with grad school but hate it when people throw around their weight because of some damn class they took. Life is not a fucking pillow cushion..

how is this a "therapy session for myself"??? how??? that is absolutely ridiculous.

when people say things that are improper or offensive or discriminatory in some way, I'm gonna call them out on it. I DID NOT "turn" the thread into anything. You and everyone else can respond to whatever parts of his post you want- I responded to the part I wanted to. You and everyone else do not have to respond to ME. Sorry for wanting to discuss something MORE IMPORTANT.

I'm not talking about my education, i'm just saying there's no evidence to support his claim.

and sorry, I don't care what his post was "asking" for, if you write something on a public message board, it's open for scrutiny. period. he wrote the words in question, I didn't.
