Boss article, that is why dem days had good family life, man was men and women did know dey place!

Dem was de good old days!  Violence was down, crime was down and although horning was rampant, women kept quiet as they knew a deputy was essential.

[ribbit]

THAT is a boss article. that remind me of that movie pleasantville.

[dinho]

aaahps boy de good ole days..

on this note, what was the divorce and family breakup ratio back in dem days??   

[Touches]

Omar divorce in them days was less..

People used to get married fast when they get pregnant and ting but most used to stick it out.

All the women  here go hate on this next line...but...

The new age woman who trying to fight their way up the corporate ladder, becoming more like men...including relationships too.

They making children later if atall and they being raised by the maid.

Is a latchkey kinda syndrome on a money making level.

Most of them ending up alone and unhappy.

I find now the amount of wutless girls out there on the increase.
 
Lemme throw gas and matches here.. ...Certain female high schools have a higher percentage of women falling into this category....they always seem to have to make or try to prove a point. (Cough Cough, who say Bishop Anstey High School)

[weary1969]

As 4 d no chirren ting we are no longer defined by d number ah pickney we have. Zero is ah nice number

Yuh know if de Creator did intend fuh only woman tuh make an raise chirren, He woulda make we like amoeba!!

[Touches]

Whey de fadders and dem!!

Dead, in jail, on the block, with they legitimate wife, running hoes, in the club, playing whappie, in the rumshop, on a football field, wukking shift, plying the family vehicle as a PH, offshore on a rig, on a cruise ship, in a band touring the world, in foreign...

or simply at the office making paper to mind these children and expecting the Good Wife to execute what she read in the guide above. 

[kicker]

Money is what complicated the issue.

Education & enterprise led to money, and money afforded a sense freedom and a sense of entitlement to power and influence.

Now that it takes a certain amount of money for a family to enjoy a standard of living, the traditional view of the man being the sole bread winner is less relevant and practical. So what happens? Women need to make money, to do that women need to be educated....and with education and money the same sense of freedom and entitlement that men traditionally enjoyed became enjoyed by women as well....It was a slow progression and the generation before mine was probably the last surviving generation in the Western world that had a strong influence of such traditions.  And the same way that women struggle to be who they are today, the men struggle to accept it, mentally evolve and adapt to the change- and that is what causes the imbalances....women not 100% happy with the way it used to be, and men not 100% willing to accept the change...
