Quote:I think it was over and done with by the end of the 60's - early 70's - at least the bra burning and protests were from memory. I could be wrong.
Oh I wish I were old enough to appreciate that era. There's no better way to judge a good set
It's a pity that it enhanced gravity and women used the free choice that they didn't think they had to wear them if they so desired. Should've shuffled through some anti-bra legislation there.
Quote:I agree to an extent Amadd, but successful women can be extremely lonely - the same can be said for a beautiful woman. Not all of course, but a good proportion of them remain untouched not through choice, but because males are scared of them.
Could you point out to me some of those beautiful women who remain untouched?
Successful women may fall into that category I suppose, but the intimidation factor may be more to do with an attitude such as: "Oh my God, get me away from this control freak".
Most men aren't generally attracted to that type of attribute. You'd have to blame God for that.
I agree that women have their careers interrupted through having kids much moreso than men.
Nomatter what laws are in place to not discriminate against women who are likely to be starting a family, employers will always get around them somehow.
So, if it reverts back to the age old reality for women of marrying rich, then they can have their cake and eat it too.
The earning capacity of the husband is automatically assumed of the wife regardless of her actual earning capacity.
You would then assume that this wealth is passed down to the children...the most important part of the equation, and I'd question whether it's such a good thing to be promising kids future wealth without cultivating their own ability to stand on their own two feet.
A case in point:
A friend of mine settled a few years back for $1.4 million. Now he lives like a pleb. His mansion that he built for his wife and two kids tipped the scale of greed when housing prices increased dramatically.
His wife found little requirement for him to be around when her independence was settled.
Although he still had plenty of cash (less than half), he was a man shattered. He talked of suicide because of losing his dream for his family.
He came out the other side with a different attitude. Now he bangs every woman that he can. They come fluttering around with the promise of money.
He cheats, lies, and gets lots of gorgeous women, even though he's only about 5' 4" and not particularly good looking or apparently wealthy.
His monetary lifestyle is controlled by how much maintenance he is obliged to pay. Therefore, he ties up all of his money in future investment and leaves himself very little to live on.
"If $1.4 million isn't enough of a kick start for my kids, then nothing will be. I don't want them to be hand fed", he said.
It's a fair business acumen by him I suppose, but I'd sway towards not even being involved in these bs laws.ii
