Who has influenced your sah/woh
| Thu, 02-09-2006 - 2:39pm |
opinion to DIFFER. What I mean is--is there anyone on this board or in real life whose opinion/reasoning/debating/facts started to make your thinking more to the middle? As in if you thought sah or woh was best & then after some discussion/thought, you began to think that whatever is best for each family--really there is no one best way, etc.
We just really needed a new thread here!!!!!!!!

I thought "better" to you was all about which option you would personally prefer.
How do you define "better"?
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
"Sorry dear but nothing changes if you keep everything the same."
And I suppose that you are of the opinion that eradicating SAH is the *only* way to change things?
"Yes, I think that women working furthers progress. Of course it does. You have to change something to get the system to change."
And again, according to you, the *only* way to facilitate change is by women working?
Could you please provide some proof/evidence which supports your *opinion*? You are aware that your claim is merely an *opinion*, right?
"And no, I'm not trying to devalue women's work. Just the opposite. We live in a society that values what men do. The way to increase the value of something is to get men to do it."
Oh really? Based on what exactly? Men's inalienable right to soley dictate what is and isn't valuable LOL??? You crack me up :) Can you say inferiority complex?

Very good example.

Alrighty then. Let's go somewhere else completely. Entertainment. Think of 2 movies, TV shows or musicians that you love. In each category where you have chosen two things that you love (I'm assuming each category does have at least 2), is there one that is better than the other? Or back to food. Do you have 2 favorite restauirants? Is one better than the other? See what I mean? It is possible to appreciate differences between things without ranking them.
The other examples (ice cream, wine, daycare) actually do hold water, even if you feel compelled to rank them. Lots of people don't. Lots of people encounter similar things all the time and appreciate the diferences between them without declaring one better than the other. Although this may be the lens through which you view the world, it isn't universal or even common, so you can't say that it just is a fact that all things divide up into better/worse dichotomies. Although you may rank everything in your own head, a lot of people don't. They only rank some things sometimes.
I think a beer tasting would work as well.

Having been to many of a wine tasting, I disagree.
PumpkinAngel
Or how can one state that one wine is better all the time for all people?
