I don't know, it's hard to say.
Call me selfish, but I wouldn't want a stay-at-home wife because to me, that seems very parasitic. The only people I'm willing to support financially or give lots of money to would be my own son (no I don't have one now, I know damn well I can't afford one). But that's probably only because of modern technology (so things that used to take all day long now only take a couple of hours), and because I was born in the 80s (different standards and such). If I was born in say, 1930. I probably would've supported a wife because that's simply what every man did. But then again, back then women were expected to do certain things. There were no gung-ho feminazis in quite the same way we have them now. I figure that if those women want the same rights, I'll give them the rights. But they better own up to the responsibility (and I don't think a lot of them do). In the 50s, men never hit women. Nowadays, if a woman hits me, I will hit back. I don't give a s#it if she's a woman or not.
There's another thing that bothers me. It's this politically correct bullsh!t. I consider myself a liberal-minded guy, but I know where to draw the line. What if I told you that nowadays, it's theoretically possible that a minority man will get a job or go to school over a more qualified white man, simply because they're a minority. It's true. It's called affirmative action. I believe in equal rights, at least among men (women I have slightly mixed feelings about). This affirmative action politically correct bullsh!t is getting out of hand. Now, even many white men are scared to say anything that might be considered "racist." I believe in equal rights and equal oppurtunity, and affirmative action does NOT help us acheive that end. If a minority wants to be lazy, it's not the white man's fault.
If the minority man is better qualified, hire him.
If the white man is better qualified, hire him.
Next thing I know, sexual orientation will be covered under affirmative action. And that just wouldn't be right. Race and sexual orientation belong under true equal oppurtunity, NOT affirmative action. AA was, and still is a bad idea. It's not my fault if they decide to have a victim mentality.
Wow...I think I said enough, although I could probably write an entire book.
I'll just say that there is one trend I do like, namely that it's becoming easier for people to carry guns in public.
