I also believe it is better for preschool children to be home with a parent. A father or a mother can do an excellent job in parenting.
We need look no further than the world which encourages women to have careers and work outside the home and go to college.steve-in-kville wrote:Beings we have a pretty diverse crowd here, I thought this would make for an interesting topic to discuss.

One can be as much of a threat (predator?) as the other. I've worked with women who tried to "score" with about any man with two legs and a pulse. After that incident, my workplace adopted a very aggressive policy on workplace romances.MaxPC wrote:steve-in-kville wrote:Personally I worry about some of the "men" in the workplace too![]()
I envy fathers who can manage to work from home, either a home based business or farming. I would love to have a produce farm... but our area is hard on farmers at the moment.Josh wrote:steve-in-kville wrote: We need look no further than the world which encourages women to have careers and work outside the home and go to college.
If you want a cesspool of fornication, children without fathers, divorce, adultery, unemployed men, young men who are unmotivated to work, and women with all kinds of emotional disturbances and stress related illness, then by all keep doing things the world’s way.
When i was young, many, or most women were at home with their families; overall, families were bigger, and closer, churches were much more central, altho my close family did not attend regularly, my extended family attended and were active in somewhat different Protestant churches. i.e., there were “networks” that supported stay-at-home mothers, and families. it was “normal,” not in question.Josh wrote:Would you extend this to, say, doing cement footers or flat work?JimFoxvog wrote:Yes, I believe women should have the same opportunities in the workplace as men.

Do you think men and women are identical with no differences at all in ability or aptitude?
women can be predators of women, too. this happened to me. not often, but more than once.steve-in-kville wrote:One can be as much of a threat (predator?) as the other.
