Author Topic: Modern women want to have their cake AND eat it too (Read 9578 times)

Do you know any modern women who seem to want all the benefits of old-fashioned values/morals, but want things that old-fashioned women would never have sought, such as career, equal power in marriage, etc.?

I've actually met women who seem old-fashioned in some ways -- but they are completely modern in other ways.

It makes you wonder, does a man even exist for them? And how could he -- he'd be a walking contradiction. A square circle.

FWIW, I think moderns in general, be they men or women, want to have their cake and eat it, too -- when it doesn't happen, children flip out, married folks get divorced, etc. Leaving aside fallen nature's tendencies in that direction, I suspect that mentality has been chemically formulated by some mega-nerds at the CDC and put into our water... :scratchchin:

There is a rather good cure for this. Alas, the book was written by a mormon lady, and I can't seem to find a good one that rivals it by a Catholic author, mors the pity.

On the other hand (and this is related, but might be good for another thread "modern MEN want to have their cake and eat it too") there are men with 1) unrealistic expectations with the way women are, and 2) it's been belabored enough that there aren't enough "manly men" out there (which I agree, but I think men are simply reacting to the absolutely warped way WOMEN behave now days).

Here is something for the men!

This was written by the husband of the mormon woman that wrote the books in the previous post.

A fellow parishioner loaned this to me once upon a time. She couldn't speak highly enough about it. I was still working and busy reading "all about baby" books at the time, so I never got very far into it. Good to know it's online.
