Armenian women: should play a bigger role in our economy, politics and military.

1 man and 100 women can produce 100 babies in 1 year. 100 men and 1 woman can only produce 1 baby per year. Big difference, eh?

Just goes to show you that our entire knowledge of multiplication is incorrect

1 man x 100 women = 100
1 woman x 100 men = 1

Your sexism is showing

The guy doesn't think women should be working so do you really need to ask him this question?

Before you make an ass of yourself, please do point out where I said that women shouldn't work.

Levon, what do you think about involving more Armenian women into our military structures?

I'm not well versed in military talk, and do not know how our military readiness will be affected by having more women serve, but I do know there are more than enough men in Armenia to meet to current needs of the military, and unless absolutely necessary (such as most able-bodied men are dead due to war, and the enemy is approaching fast) I am completely against any large-scale social/political policy that would encourage women to serve in the military. If women are dying at war, who will be producing our next generation? 1 man and 100 women can produce 100 babies in 1 year. 100 men and 1 woman can only produce 1 baby per year. Big difference, eh?
But on an individual basis, I don't see problem with it.

Without getting much into the rest of the discussion, I just want to point out that quality daycare and babysitters are options as well. Daycare is good because the child can learn social skills through interacting with other children and it helps with the transition to preschool/kindergarten.

That all sounds good in theory but arranging to drop off and pick up the kids at the proper times interferes with work schedules. Daycares charge extra for being late. I work with a woman who ends up paying more to the day care than the overtime she puts in at work towards the end of the day. However, she has no choice since she can't just leave work in the middle of an important meeting. The amount of stress that she goes through is rediculous and she's constantly on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Lucky for her, she's in an environment that understands her troubles. Some other places I've worked wouldn't have tolerated the mistakes she makes due to her mind being elsewhere all the time.

-...Typical Feminist propaganda tactic - establish sympathy, then encourage a generalization.....

Of all the lowdown backstabbing dirty tricks...........unbelievable

Damn Levon... you pretty much wrote out my entire view on the systematic and organized propaganda that is being perpetuated by feminists (which, for the most part, probably aren't even women!).

Great post Levon. I too am of the opinion that there is more at work than we are led to believe in these and other so called 'westernization' or liberlization drives in Armenia and other parts of the world.

Thanks aper jan. If their views weren't pushed through such obvious deceitful propaganda, I might have become of the opinion that there was nothing more than genuine concern in their agenda. But as you said, most obviously there is much more than that.

I'll simply add again that if there are women capable of maintaining a career and at the same time raising their kids and being a good wife (I consider all of the above as responsibilities) then no one can prevent them from doing/being so.

This is fine if it's an individual choice, but I do not think it is healthy for any society to aggressively push women to leave their kids at home and become supermoms. On an individual level, there are plenty of women in Armenia who are such, and I don't see any need in changing social policy to encourage it.

Yea I call that prostitution and a disguised one at that. At least the real prostitutes have the honesty/courage to show what they are for…

I think you misunderstand the meaning of prostitution. A man pays a prostitute so that after sex, he may never have to hear from her again. A man with money doesn't need a prostitute for sex, there are many other avenues, but they come with the danger of the woman wanting too much and causing problems.

and I'm not talking about being with a 'bum… there are many girls today who are not satisfied with a modest income, they simply do not find it attractive

A woman, as well as a man is free to decide what qualities they desire most in their partner. If a woman desires a rich man, is it any more wrong than a woman who desires an extremely smart man, or an extremely handsome man? Or is it any more wrong for a man to desire a rich woman, an extremely intelligent woman, or an extremely attractive woman? I don't see why going after money is any more wrong than going after genetic qualities. One wants the money, the other wants the sperm. Same sh*t!!!

… as a consequence the nice, intelligent guy with all the qualities in the world but with a an average earning is being rejected in favour of a rich man with whatever infirmity/disabilities...

Life is not meant to be fair, no reason to assume that some qualities should be more "honorable" than others.

Just a side note, I know many "nice, intelligent guys" who are alone, because they can't bring themselves to realize that maybe, just maybe their brains and niceness will almost never bring them any women (at least attractive ones, but there are always some exceptions)

And "you are a nice, intelligent guy with all the qualities in the world, you'll find someone who'll appreciate you for who you are" is something a mom or a female friend says to a guy who has no idea why girls keep rejecting him.

and the woman goes at any lengths to adapt herself to his lifestyle, his caprices, merely to lead a comfortable life.

If that's what she wants out of her life, and he that's what he wants out of his life, then she's happy and he's happy. What's wrong with that???

I can go into more details concerning the games women may play with men on different levels of their relationship.. That's plain disgusting

Hey, if a guy gets played by a girl, then he was naive and should smarten up. Similarly, if a girl gets played by a guy then she was naive and should smarten up. Part of life.

Vaaay Levon, the omelet thing was just an example. What has it got to do with lust?

You mentioned attraction and I wanted to know what you mean by it. As KanadaHye explained there are two kinds, and I believe that doing chores makes one marriage-material and not the other kind of attractive.

You wouldn't help your wife to do the chores. Please do so, it is not a pleasant job to do every single day, it's boring.

Many responsibilities aren't pleasant to do, but then again that's why they are called responsibilities and not "happy time"
