Ha, that would make it too easy for you. My sixth child is 4 weeks old and here in the same room.
So if you're such a super duper husband provider, and you have six kids, what are you doing playing on the city data board 24/7? I'm a mom, plus I worked part time from home doing consulting when my kids were that age, and I own a business now that they're much older. I have five kids. My husband is a partner in a different business. When my kids were babies my husband and I didn't have time to watch a TV show, let alone play on the computer half the day. I smell a rat.
Boy are you wrong.
I am the daughter of a feminist, who is also the daughter of one.
My daughter is also a feminist.
How many generations is that?
4.
Try again.
Feminism prior to the 1970s was more concerned with bettering the condition of women in society and establishing more rights for women, rather than knocking down men and getting revenge on men.
Comparing 1950s/60s feminism with feminism from the '70s on is like comparing Nelson Mandela to Robert Mugabe
When you become teens perhaps, but young kids don't have that issue :-P.
Our district starts the IXL math online program in 2nd grade. I'm not sure what they do for reading and english with the younger kids, because my boys are out of elementary now.
I feel sorry for any men who marry feminists and then raise their children to become feminists. In turn, they'll grow up into misandrists supporting anti-double standards and seeing all normal men as pigs and evil.

Yes but your district is not the rule it's the exception. My little sister goes to private school,i have friends with kids in school, and none of them do online schooling.

Most districts are moving in that direction. The online programs time how long it takes kids to do each problem and logs which questions they get right or wrong, and where exactly they're making mistakes. It lets the instructor see exactly which areas each child (and the class as a whole) is having problems, and which areas they've mastered, so they can tailor instruction to the needs of the kids quickly. Our test scores have really improved since they started the program, and it's just a matter of time before it's adopted in your district as well. It's the future.

Feminism is still about betting the condition of women in society.
Thank you for the revisionist history lesson.
BTW, the grandmother I spoke of was a suffragette, hardly a feminist of the 50s.

Instead the reverse is true. The more feminism gains, the more women lose. Women are becoming increasingly more miserable with every nail in the coffin of the patriarchy that once protected them. Read the data: The Paradox of Declining Female Happiness.
Not all of these feminism gains are bad things ... The right to vote, the rights to pursue financial gains and independence and the ability to pursue higher education are good things. The other stuff, in my opinion, does contribute to the unhappiness of women and has had negative impacts upon society as a whole.

Moving yes, however they will not be there for some time.

It's about having choices. If you want to stay home with kids--terrific. If you want to be President, that's terrific too. Every human being should have the right to make choices about their own life, and they shouldn't be held back in those choices because of their gender.
I don't understand why some men feel threatened by women being able to set their own course in life. If they want to marry a woman who's main goal in life is to be a wife and mother, then they can do that--they can find someone with the same goals. I've been married over 25 years, and my husband and I look at life as an adventure together. I don't like to mop floors or do the laundry any more than he does, so why should I get stuck with it all the time? We compromise where we can, hire out the stuff that makes us both crazy, and everyone pulls their load. It works for us, and it works well for our family. Another bonus is that my boys also pitch in, and it's helped them become self sufficient young men--when they go off to college I know they're going to be able to take care of themselves and they won't starve. It's all good.
