People tell me that it takes two incomes to have a reasonable lifestyle these days. That's something that a couple needs to talk about before marriage. I just couldn't handle working at home all the time. I did feel I had something else I needed to do--teach. And I still miss teaching, now that I'm disabled and can't.

Yes, the media put down women who choose the "housewife" occupation, but as I said, I think it's a good job. Yet, when little girls are asked what they want to be when they grow up now, they aren't expected to say "housewife" and will probably get flak if they do.

There were the so-called bra burners back in the day. Women can or can not wear bras as they so choose now. There's even a thread about it here currently I just don't like the male attitude that women are stupid and not smart enough to work outside the home. Baloney!
