I agree with your other three points but this one isn't fair. If he is a small business owner then he is probably providing some kind of service to whatever little area of society he deals with and that shouldn't be ignored. And while I sense plenty of sarcasm in your last comment I still have to disagree with the idea that "Only the elite may question the status quo". Highly educated people tend to be capable of making good long-term decisions, but that doesn't mean not so well educated people are incapable of analyzing a situation and postulating a viable solution.Originally Posted by complich8
That being said conquistaDan the way you phrased your original post seems to say that the jobs that "ONLY women should do" are somehow inferior or unimportant. You also clearly state you don't think women should not be involved in what you identify as 'real work' which seems to imply you don't think they are suited for it. [Flame On]You also aren't very good at framing an argument anyway so you shouldn't be surprised you were misunderstood[FlameOff]
As to your clarified main point, I would agree that people might as well pull their own weight and give back to society in some way that is meaningful (I'm not going to touch the definition of meaningful because I don't have a Ph.D or a small buisness) but I wouldn't give women a pass to just be carried and supported by men either. And instead of just trying to undermine people's responses why don't you also defend your own points, that's one of the big differences between a discussion and a flame session.
