How does this relate to the debate?

Something occurred to me earlier and I wanted to see how others thought it might relate to the whole "which is harder SAH/WOH" portion of the debate that crops up so often.
I think that, when you look at either group *as a whole*, the WOHs might have it harder. And this is why ...
There are virtually no SAHMs who SAH because they "have to". There are virtually no SAHMs who are forced to SAH. A woman that SAH wants to SAH.(I'm sure there's a few exceptions out there; controlling dhs who MAKE their wives SAH, disabled children, etc) A woman that SAH doesn't hate her "job", or else she'd go get a WOH job. A woman that SAH is generally getting what she wants.
There are LOTS AND LOTS of WOHMs who WOH because they "have to". A single mom, or one whose dh doesn't make enough to support the family, or one with a disabled dh, whatever the case may be ... she may long, with all her heart, to SAH, but *can't*. Many WOHMs hate their jobs, but can't quit.
Anyhoo ... just wanted to stir up something new

You consistently ask people what remarks they are referencing, even when those remarks are in full view in the title of the previous post. You respond to your own posts. Your remarks often have little to do with the post to which you are responding. The result gives the impression that you are having difficulty following the flow of the thread.
Hope that clears it up for you.
My post's are clear enough if they were not you and all the other 3 ducks would not be waddeling.
So would you like to debate the sah/woh issue or would you all like to debate your personal issue with me...
