Well, staying at home with the kids is definitely contributing at least an equal measure. No, the women I was thinking of specifically seem to view their husbands more as parents and seem to have a deep seated need to be taken care of. Unfortunately, I've personally run into the attitude a lot and it's made me lose respect for women who declare themselves Feminists as opposed to feminists. The lower case ones are actually putting the ideas into practice instead of worrying about whether it's women or wimmin... I'll stop my rant about pseudo left wing jargon now because it'll be ugly. Guess I've spent so much of life in universities that I'm kind of jaded and cynical about this kind of thing.

Maybe there's a deeper problem, though. So many adults, of any gender, in the US seem to be more overgrown teenagers than adults. I dunno sometimes my country just drives me nuts at any point in the political spectrum. I think it might be better to talk about Hip, Disconnected, and Authoritarian rather than Left, Centrist, and Right.
