Ever occurred to you that it feels "like an attempt to gain advantage" because you had it so long and you don't want to give it up? You are for equality, you would just like to be the ones who determine what that is.

I consider that a preposterous remark that simply reinforces my stated position.

I don't understand why the remark is preposterous. Certainly it is within the realm of possibility that men have had so many advantages for so long that women's attempts to achieve an even playing field are viewed as attempts to gain an unfair advantage. . .

Now, should women stay at home, or go shopping, or whatever instead of men? If that's your question, my answer is, if it's a choice between a man doing the job or a married woman doing it, then give it to the man. Because the woman has more choices than the man has.

. . .Like, say, for example, here. You seem to see a married woman's working outside the home as taking an unfair advantage of the asserted "fact" that she has more choices than a man.

I might point out that if she doesn't WANT to stay home then the claimed superfluity of choices doesn't really mean that much. And, of course, if the world were structured as you prefer (and as it used to be structured, BTW - women were not allowed to hold many jobs after they got married, and they certainly didn't get equal pay, in part because the man "needed to support a family") - if the world were structured as you prefer, she would NOT have the choice of working outside the home, so you have neatly solved the perceived unfairness of a woman's having, supposedly, more choices, by depriving her of any meaningful choice.

If that's true (have they said they hate your guts? And if so, is your salary really the reason they do?)

That's just mean.
