This brings up women's lib & Black women. What is woman's lib to us when we've always been either equal or, most of the time, made more than our men for years. We've also been working ever since Black women arrived in this country. So what is women's lib to us?
^^gotta get political on this one...speaking of woman's lib, is it me or is it crazy as hell that women today are STILL getting paid less than men for doing the same work???
you know who's fault this is? the lesbian femenist organisations...it seems to me that thier only focus these days is on giving women the right to **** thier babies and making sure those rights aren't taken away by the evil God-fearing repulicans...they need to fight to get yall equal pay, because i'm a conservative and i think that sh!t is rediculous!!! i wish somebody would try to pay me less than some other cat for doing the same work...burn my f#cking bra to the dayum ground 8-) (nessa)

now i dont htink i would have a huge problem with my wife making the most money so long as i have my own job and im making some bread of my own.but if she is making more money shes gotta be payin some bills as well.
isnt that what this topic is about??what are you talking about??
I personally don't like the mindset that salary=status. I think that the primary goal should be to ensure that our family lives comfortably. As long as that's being done, who cares which partner makes more? If I make less per year than my wife, why should that diminish my status within my household? Are my kids going to say "daddy wears ****"....? No. In most cases, people don't have the same profession as their spouse, so they're not going to make the same amount of money, and I don't think it matters who makes more than the other.
An example of why I think salary shouldn't equal status is the fact that there are professions in this country which are drastically under/overpaid. If I'm an elementary school teacher and my wife is a lawyer for a tobacco corporation, should my concern be that she's making more than I am?
^I wish we could have that mentality, but in reality, it's an issue in relationships.
