As an adult you should understand the financial realities of a stay at home parent.

If the breadwinner (man or woman) needs to make enough to support the kids and family. If they don't, the marriage and kids suffer.

The stay at home parent (man or woman) also has duties to the kids and family and home. Otherwise the kids suffer. If either party wants to divorce for any reason, the kids suffer. That's the reality of parenthood.

Protection is antiquated but it's foolhardy to think a healthy man would suppress his instinct to protect his pregnant wife. You're right though women don't need protecting all the time.

Plenty of men beat their wives, up to and including miscarriage or death. Seriously you have an absurd notion of the realities of being a woman before like the 60s. Human men, especially when angry, are irrational beings, as all humans are, and are perfectly capable of harming those they "love".


You weren't alive then, I don't think you know either.

Painting all men as abusers is dishonest.
