It's really hard.
All the people I know who say it isn't do a pretty crappy job of it.

Wrong. How quickly you forget that a lot of people were either been severely underemployed or unemployed during the depths of the recent recession. The labor force participation rate is lower today than it was in 2007 when the recession. But I will agree that running an efficient household is a challenge. It is really difficult to work full time and run an efficient household. Therefore, the division of labor between full time worker and full time household manager makes sense.

Underemployed = "I deserve more money than this"

Pffft

If women thought that life was so sweet, they wouldn't have worked so hard to change it all these years. Could it be that women actually desire something more than just being financially taken care of?

ZZZZZZZ sounds about as exciting as a cardboard box. I'm an educated woman but there is a time and a place. You can be highly educated AND relatable- some people don't seem to understand that. In fact Ben Carson does a great job of this- the man is in the highest tier of education and he sounds like a normal dude.

Didn't take long for them to get tired of it either - second wave feminism started in the early/mid 1960s.

Feminism and Marxism have a strong degree of overlap.

The title of the thread is very condescending. Self proclaimed educated woman here. I didn't read the whole thread.
