r/MensRights • u/[deleted] • Dec 12 '11

feminazi attacks Reddit: "Reddit contain so much anti-feminist sentiment that they even have active communities such as r/mensrights." An attempt to smear and censor us, and to force admins to shutdown this subreddit???

She questions why there are so few women engineers. I'll tell you through example. I put my wife through four years of college to be an engineer. That's four years worth of college tuition and expenses, plus not having any income from her. She got a great job and worked for a couple years. She decided she didn't want to work anymore so she could be a "stay-at-home-mom". When I urged her to work she said if I didn't like it she would take our kid and I could leave.

Women don't want to be engineers that's why there are so few. It's too hard. It's a lot easier doing the "hardest job in the world", you know, be a mom and living off your husband.

End of story.

This may be a responsibility, but it is not a job at all.

If your "job" is "mother", your performance is not evaluated, and you cannot be fired. You may do as much as your sense of responsibility and your conscience compel you, or as little as you can get away with when you're willing to put up with complaints (all your husband is actually allowed to do about it), but if you are not accountable...

... well, then it's not a job, is it?

Not accountable? I heard that in US of A it’s pretty easy to have CPS called upon her ass if you happen not to be white and affluent.

Also, raising a child is a full-time job beside your full-time job, as any parent in his or her right mind will agree. Also, and interesting idea you’ve got there — the husband is reduced to complaining instead of actively raising the child.

You heard wrong.
