Not only do I stand by this, but I'm living it. So is my sister, who works full time (as does her husband) with two kids. A bunch of my friends are in the same boat. Most of them who have kids are, actually.Do you have a source for that? Almost every couple(with kids) I know have both people working full time.
You disagree with my statement by making a even more extreme statement replacing my Most with Almost Every in your counter claim.Do you have a source for that? Almost every couple(with kids) I know have both people working full time.
I really don't think I'm under anymore burden then you are to support my statement.Sorry guys, it's on us to provide a source forhisstatement!
That entire write-up is predicated on "expectations and sex-based stereotypes".and as to your point Alkorin, they make less because of the choices they make.Why Women Dont Make Less than Men
Are you willfully ignoring the graph in Mkopec's post? 29% is a far cry from "majority"You disagree with my statement by making a even more extreme statement replacing my Most with Almost Every in your counter claim.

Everyone can check it for themselves:That entire write-up is predicated on "expectations and sex-based stereotypes".
I'm not even going to bother. I won't change your mind. I've seen enough real-life examples of wage disparity to understand that it's real, it's right in front of me (maybe not in front of you, I know nothing about you), and it is much closer to 77c to $1 than 95c to $1.
I said 'almost every' as in within my social circle. That fact made me doubt your 'most', which sounded like you were including every marriage in the country(at the very least). So I asked for a source. I'll take your lack of source as admitting you pulled this completely out of your ass.You disagree with my statement by making a even more extreme statement replacing my Most with Almost Every in your counter claim.
Mkopec's chart doesn't not show a % for married women and men with children working full time.Are you willfully ignoring the graph in Mkopec's post? 29% is a far cry from "majority"
Monogamous CivilizationsI just don't see how marriage is the cornerstone of a thriving 'civilization and economy'.
Uh, his chart shows both married and unmarried bro.Mkopec's chart doesn't not show a % for married women and men with children working full time.
My statement includes all non working parents, and also all parents working part time or omewhere in between part and full time.
Just imagine the difference between a bachelor pad and a married couple's McMansion. Not only is the dwelling itself necessarily bigger, requiring more materials, more labor to build, more resources to keep going, more cost to heat and cool. But what's a single guy generally decorate his bathrooms with? How many times is he going to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond for new sheets, new towels, new cookware? How often will he decide remodeling is in order? Why would he replace his appliances if they are perfectly functional, just old and out of style?You guys are arguing something that doesn't make sense to me. The money isn't leaving our economy when two married people get divorced. It's money that shifts focus and goes to different industry. Instead of using the disposable income for vacations people use it for rent. Instead of using it on entertainment they use it on furnishing their new house/apartment/what have you.

Linking social opinions from 1934? Yea I'm done arguing with you. You know homosexuality was considered a disease and that it used to be both legal and considered good practice for men to keep their women in line by beating them?
You need to go back and read what I posted again. We only have one data point for both married and unmarried that being stay at home mothers. Sense people disagreeing with what I said are basically saying 50% + of married couples with children have both parents working full time that chart doesn't provide information needed to prove are disprove ether position.Uh, his chart shows both married and unmarried bro.
You're the one who needs to go find and post the % of stay at home fathers. If you think it's 22% which would bring it to the majority you believe I have a bridge to sell you.You need to go back and read what I posted again.

This assumes that only single men own homes/rent/live alone.Just imagine the difference between a bachelor pad and a married couple's McMansion.

Married men get roped into all that and more. Having a wife directly injects money into our consumer product driven domestic economy. Single guys like to spend money on having fun, they don't give a crap that the walls are bare. Especially if they aren't trying to land a wife. Marriage, and especially married couples with children, create a never ending series of weekend trips to Target and Home Depot while the single guys are chilling and watching every college football game on TV.
ITs not a social opinion, its the most comprehensive study of sex and past 5000 yrs of civilization.Linking social opinions from 1934? Yea I'm done arguing with you. You know homosexuality was considered a disease and that it used to be both legal and considered good practice for men to keep their women in line by beating them?
You do know you're making a idiot out of yourself here.You're the one who needs to go find and post the % of stay at home fathers. If you think it's 22% which would bring it to the majority you believe I have a bridge to sell you.
