Men are just not needed... they exist only for pleasure and convenience. Theoretically I could replace man with a couple of sex toys and cloning technology. Get used to your new status of being completely irrelevant to life on earth!!!

There is a good quote by writer and feminist Rebecca West:

"There is, of course, no reason for the existence of the male sex except that sometimes one needs help with moving the piano."

No. If I were to one day happen to be married and want to have a baby, I would prefer a man who could financially support us until I'm ready to go back to work

Couldn't both sexes do that anyways "in theory"?

The people in power have messed up heterosexual relationships. In a healthy heterosexual union, a woman surrenders her power for love. A man wants power so that he can love his woman.

Feminism, which is social engineering grounded in Communism has brainwashed western women.

It has told women to neglect men and family so they can pursue careers, thus leaving countless women feeling unloved.

It has also taught women to "challenge" their husbands and boyfriends. In relationships, men don't want to love women who try to be the boss in relationships or challenge the male role, which is power.

I'm dependent on my husband.
Sure, I could go out, earn a living, mow the yard, fix the cars, handle household repairs...etc but I don't have to!

Likewise, he is dependent on me.
He could pack his lunch, make his coffee, cook meals, do his laundry, clean this house, take care of the kids, do the shopping...etc. but he doesn't have to.

We'd be fools to try and do it all ourselves if we have eachother to depend on. If something happened to him I'd survive just fine. If something happened to me he'd survive just fine as well.

That's my idea of a marriage as well. Otherwise I don't see why I should bother.

Where is the "interdependence" option?

I wanted to stay home with my daughter and there was no way to do this if my husband did not make enough money to pay the bills. Likewise, my husband desires to provide for us financially and there is no way to do this if his wife needed a big house in the right neighborhood with the right car and dog.
