In the 40's it was the women who worked in factories for the first real time while men went to war..
in the 50's a strong willed woman, was a single woman (usually not attractive, divorced, widowed) nurse or teacher meaning had a career.
in the 60's it was the woman who dared to protest in the civil right movement
in the 70's it was the women who realized they can have a career that actually could pay ALL the bills at home.. but her husbands career still was the Main one, so she would quit or relocate if needed for his job.
in the 80's it was the woman who wanted a career or choose a career and a family too, but can quit that career and raise the family and still rely on her husband to provide for her and the children BUT ....she did start to ask a husband to change a diaper or wash the dishes
in the 90's it was the woman who realized they could choose to have a career, a family and did not need to MARRY to have a man, or feel no guilt or little social stigma for a divorce from an abusive or lazy man who would not help provide.
in the 2000's it is a woman who HAS to have a career because the "new liberated male syndrome has arrived"
and because MOST women have still the maternal instinct for the children, she is stuck raising them mostly 98% of the time, work and now has a lower standard of living $$ for her children and her self...

so what went wrong??? or Is it wrong???
It was not women's lib, that was equal pay for equal work..
no... what has changed, is the attitude american men have developed from being around
women raised to be "Strong women" meaning they need to do EVERYTHING with out a man's help. (thank you... MOM's of the 60,70,80's
men NOW say okay.. you want to do it all.. then do it!!!
and I will pop back my beer on my lazy boy and flip on espn..
and be HAPPY.. I don't have to be with those kids 24/7 and do that grunge of daily life
fix that house that falls apart daily, or the car, appliances, yard ect..
" can work when I want and only as much as I want as child support is based on how much I make NOT on How much I SHOULD make..."
He knows he has alot of money left over to.. buy man toys and PARTY, or sit on his butt.. have lots of women friends.. gets tired of one, goes to the next one...
essentially fast food living....
a man now knows he can get women to Pay for the dates, buy HIM gifts, and make her feel guilty if She doesn't..
and women now, DO feel guilty if they do not pay all or half of dates..
and she usually spends ALOT more money on gifts then the males do on each other..
its is bizarre, but its true...
interesting how the pendulum has swung from one extreme now going to the other...
I wonder when men will be bought and sold ... as most men are in Switzerland/Finland/Sweden... they (men) advertise themselves on computer web sites and newspapers, how much money the WOMAN needs to make and how much their upkeep is...
so who is this B*tch the men say are..? the strong one's??
I think that is two different questions..
the b*tch is the woman who has yet to adjust to the reality of the new liberated man, and still is looking for a 50's-60's relationship.. quoted as saying... "WHY CAN'T I FIND A GOOD MAN?"
a strong woman is the woman who has the career and does most everything else including family on her own, except those weekends for candy-daddy taking care of the kids...
you usually see them at mcdonalds on weekends, and they just gave their 5 year old a new I-phone...(sigh)...
Its interesting how america has changed and is still changing when it comes to the roles women and men are developing....
Sad
strong... it means so much more than just the word...
