You know, sometimes the mom dies or abandons the family (just reference that true life film The Pursuit of Happiness with Will Smith). There are dads out there who are single parents--and getting a whole lot less support doing it than women in the same spot. But, they''re happy because at least they don''t have the additional burden of a harping spouse.

Men still have all the power and privilege in this country.

There is still a lack of equality, did you know that the equal rights amendment FAILED to pass because several states still consider women second class? Congress said that it wasn''t worth debating and passing, yet they sit now and debate a stupid advertisement wasting their time on censorship rather than working on important things. Thanks conservatives, that''s real "family values" of you.

Women are paid less, they work more. Being a mom and home maker isn''t considered work in this country, and those women who choose to do so (often because they have wealthy husbands) are often looked down upon.

This isn''t women lib''s fault! We wanted CHOICE and recognition that women are equal. We have not recieved either.

Women were allowed to enter the work force because they were seen as a cheap labor force and were exploited after world war 2. LEARN THE HISTORY!

Women should have the CHOICE to work if it works for their family but no one said they should all work outside the home. We have no choices. We are forced to work jobs that pay us less when we often do more and men who control everything keep telling us it''s fine.

Of course women are unhappy. We are still second class citizens and the men want to keep power and privilege.

Men should be happier. They don''t do anything!
They don''t raise their children - women do that. More men leave their wives than the other way around. And who gets left to raise the children when they do? The wife. Who goes and finds himself a new girlfriend and the bar scene? The man.

Women are the single parents in this country - not men. Women can do it all. Women come through when the going gets tough.

Laugh it up boys, but should stick to what you do best - nothing! Women will take care of the rest.

Women rule!

What world do you guys live in? Paying your bills and feeding your family is not a luxury, it''s an expensive neccessity. Homes aren''t prizes given at county fairs, people have to work. Get off the internet, be nice to your wife, and see what you can do to help, if you''re not the solution...you''re part of the problem.

Hey, tuck, I just saw the T,V. version of this story.

On that, they said that were unhappy cuz the guys wern''t doing the dishes, among others things. But, hey, thats what they wanted. Don''t worry about the kids, they''ll raise themselves. Womens libbers need to go back to the traditional rolls, but they will never admitt it. And thats a shame, and thats whats wrong with america, among other things.

The evening news needs a rating boost. I would recommend a game, "Catching A Couricism", $1,000 to the daily winner who accurately catches the number of Couricism in the night news. Courisms are words used incorrectly, introduction to stories that show bias, and statments that aren''t true. Plagarisms win a daily double bonus.

Most women that I know are miserable and they enjoy making others miserable.
