jjv,

Given your views–that men and women are so different–you probably don’t believe women should even be let out of the house to work. Sorry, but I disagree with your version of women as damseled housewives and men as an endless wallet. You state that as “chief homemaker, it would be an outrage to take away her source of income.” So, if the the man is nothing but a source of income in your view–what is a man getting out of this deal? And if he is getting something such as sex etc, shouldn’t according to your view, he continue to get it “indefinitely” if he needs it because it would be an outrage to take away his source of sexual gratification? Why do women get what they need but men don’t in your view? It’s more than a bit biased.
