Desperate to be Housewives

From the Independent:

They are the generation of women who grew up expecting to have it all. No longer forced to choose between children and a career, they were set to embrace superwomanhood by doing both - while holding down a perfect relationship and keeping a spotless home in their spare time.

But modern woman has taken a reality check. The average 29-year-old now hankers for a return to the lifestyle of a 1950s housewife. The daughters of the "Cosmo" generation of feminists want nothing more than a happy marriage and domestic bliss in the countryside, according to a survey.

Research into the attitudes of 1,500 women with an average age of 29 found that 61 per cent believe "domestic goddess" role models who juggle top jobs with motherhood and jet-set social lives are "unhelpful" and "irritating". More than two-thirds agree that the man should be the main provider in a family, while 70 per cent do not want to work as hard as their mother's generation. On average, the women questioned want to "settle down" with their partner by 30 and have their first child a year later.

I think the smartest thing for me to do is to stay out of this one...but I'd love to hear what everyone else thinks.

Mark's Remarks

So, here is the result of the NOW gang revolution. We have more women miserable and feeling "irritated." More women want to settle down....See, that whole gender equity thing is not equity of opportunity, but equity of outcomes, which cannot happen, except to make EVERYONE miserable. It seems, in this effort, the liberal intelligentsia succeeded. Much as the notion of America being more unequal is a joke, so too is the idea of gender equity of outcome is not what was wanted. To be sure, we needed reforms, and we are still working hard on the path to full equity of earnings for similar jobs, but we see that perhaps the full effects of the Feminist movement are not what women wanted, especially when you consider that Jane Roe herself, a poster child of the movement, now recants her stand on abortion and seeks to have her case overturned....

Islamofascism Delenda Est!
