Working long hours worse for women?



So the Bible tells us that God actually made men and women...wait for it...DIFFERENT. Yeah, I know, right? CRAYZEE. 40 years after the onslaught of feminism, society has seen many changes and not for the better. With working women now a normal part of our daily existence, we've gone from "latch key" kids, to kids growing up with no respect for others or themselves, to poor performance in school (the dumbing-down effect) to increased drug use and alcoholism in young people, to heavy duty crime across the board. And people wonder why. Not only that, but stress in women has increased exponentially. Why? Because when women were told "you can have it all," "having it all" meant having a full-time job/career, then going home to your second full time job as house cleaner, errand-runner, meal maker, kid chauffeur, and MOM.

Even to this day, men have a hard time pulling their weight at home after working all week. Women are made for multi-tasking; men are more single-minded and struggle with doing too many things at once. Sure it sounds like a generalization, but it's a very rare man who can keep up with a woman's "to do" list. Don't believe me? Ask any man with small children what happens when his wife goes away, even for a few hours.

Then after about 30 years or so, women started to realize that "having is all" was bunk, so more women started opting to stay home during their pregnancies and afterward to take care of their children, while the husband/father became the bread winner. Again.

Goodness, how old fashioned can you get?

But since God made us different with different strengths and the ability for each gender to help fill in the other's gaps, and since society as a whole has more or less tried to erase the fact that we ARE indeed different, the topic of the article below isn't really all that surprising, is it?
