Also... "providing" doesn't always just mean money. It also means providing love, leadership, and support.


But let's be real. Without any financial contributions, the rest of that stuff means shite

That would be a form of protesting.

I think if we're being real, we can see where a total approach is needed. A real man contributes with earnings, with leading the family, with protecting the family, with teaching the kids, with love for the family, etc.

If you're weak in any one area, you're at risk to lose everything. Being a family man can be really difficult, especially in this day and age. That's no reason not to try. But men should get more respect for this role than they currently do, on the whole.

I'll be damned if we ever have to live with just one income for more than just a prolonged unemployment.

I wouldn't marry someone that plans on just being a housewife in this day and age. frick that

"We are protesting the implied demand that women be silent and appreciate, regardless of whatever circumstances, their role as non-providers,"

This is not at all what I took away from the billboard. I took it to mean that men provide for their families in all ways, financially, emotionally, just sticking around and women appreciate all of that.

I don't think I make a very good SJW feminist.

ETA: I guess one could read it that way, but that's not the only way to see it.

Honestly, at the core of it, these 'people' don't really recognize 'men' or 'women' so does it really say anything to anyone?

Liberals telling people how to think?

No way...

I said this in the sports thread. Women were built to birth children, men to protect and provide. Why do so many people go against biology? Or if their Christian, how God intended us to be.

I've read survey after survey of the top five things a woman looks for in a prospective mate, and having a stable financial position is always near the top. So what's wrong with this sign?

Honestly, this is directed at the women who protest in vagina suits IMO. Be appreciative of what you have. Stop emasculating men at such a young age.
