yaaaaayyyyyyy hedgy :smt006 :afro: :smt006

This what I think Roughshod will say if he comes back

I was in a bar tonight, why do the women here have such negative feelings when it is in their power to make the world a better place? a woman's place is in the home, but why don't they fulfil themselves and make the world a better place outside the home?

this will be ratty's reply

:P

this will be saffron's answer

VICTIM!!!!!!!!!

Well, you DID surprise me, ratty.................LOL

Hedge........as you know, cancerians like us are very affectionate, loyal and errrrrr good homemakers and stuff like that :?

But I think I'm pretty open, what you see is what you get (unfortunately) so maybe I don't fit the crab mentality too well..

You've been quite open too about things that have happened in your life, and how you've felt about them :( but it's true, I think there's a part of you that you keep pretty well hidden.

But obviously, I understand you, coming from the same part of the world, and with my special cancerian intuition........... 8)

The world does not need to know every thing Moll.

But there are people who like to read more into a subject than is necessary......and get it all wrong....

I am sure you know where I am coming from....... :wink:

I know, hedge.......I've learned that lesson and that's why I've turned into a boring old fart that walks away from anything controversial on the internet and can't be bothered any more with people who just want to provoke according to their own agenda, it's not worth the hassle.

You live and learn....

Here's what I think; having a home is very very important. I know this because I was without one once. But I am not now. I have a beautiful apartment. But I also believe that there are more important things in a woman's life than breeding.

Well, everybody's different, saffron.........

My home is very important to me too, I think it must be awful to be homeless. It's important to me not because of what it contains, like designer furniture or original paintings or whatever's fashionable at the moment, I couldn't care less about that kind of thing.....but it's always been important to me to have things around me that I like and to have somewhere that's a refuge for me and my family from the world, I couldn't live in a place that was just functional, just a place to keep your things...even when I got married at first and we had very little, I had to have my own little 'bits' around to make it cosy and put my mark on it :roll:

As for children.......personally, that was always important to me, and I'd have found it quite hard to accept if I couldn't have had them. It was never just about 'breeding', it was about giving life and nurturing it and fulfilling a need in me to be a mother.

But I understand that there are many women who just don't feel that way, who have other priorities in life...and I don't expect them to feel the same way I do about children, everybody's different and should be allowed to fulfil themselves however they see it.

Yes a person does not know how important a home is, their own home, until they are suddenly without one.

I don't really know, but here in American, most mothers I know who've had children think of their kids as a kind of "insurance" for the future. By way of being able to collect child-support payments. Even my own mother, and several others I have met. A child is only thought of as a tool to get more money from a man in the event of a divorce. The more money a man makes, the more alimony payment she will get. And also in the welfare system, a woman can get more welfare money for each and every child she produces. It makes me sick.
