There isn't an answer here, only questions. I've spent some time thinking about feminism over the years.

 First there's the equality thing, there's a lot of pent-up anger there. My question is this: Why? Why would women want to be like men? Why would they want equality in the work place? Why would they even want to be in the work place?

It's a pretty shitty, thankless place to be. Worshipping at the alter of the almighty dollar. Take a look at the pinnacle of American businessmen. Souless, arrogant bastards willing to screw over anyone with no remorse.

I've always felt women had the best job, raising children. But there is another question: What happened to the days when one income could support a family?

So, since it seems to take two incomes, then of course women deserve equal pay. I understand being forced into the workplace... but wanting to be there leaves me confused.

I don't want to be there. I don't rate people on there wealth and I've never been "money motivated". Which means I lied a lot in job interviews, because we all have to play by the rules to some extent. Even though I don't like the rules, nor did I agree to abide by them. 

I, like most people, am forced to play by these rules and attempt to convince myself there is some sort of freedom within this system.

But, because I don't like being forced to do things against my will, I often wonder why women want to be in the workplace that I chafe at the chains of everyday? 

It would seem to me that raising children, spending time with your family while your husband or partner is sent off into slavery would be the thing worth fighting for.

Fighting for the chance to have your soul flogged baffles me. 

It seems the major problem is this system we love so much now requires two incomes, which forces us all to compete for jobs many us of don't want, but need.

Given the choice I'd rather spend my days reading, writing, contemplating the world and searching for answers to questions (which always leads to more questions) without some idiot giving me orders. Although, as jobs go, I work for a very nice family which leaves me alone and gives me big Italian hugs. So, since I have to go to work, this is a comprimise I can live with.

However, fighting for the chance to have your soul flogged still baffles me. 

Once again the system has us fighting against ourselves instead of fighting the system or those we should be resting power from... imho. 

This is not the system the founding father's envisioned.
