When employers tell me they prefer married men, and encourage their men to have homes of their own, because it makes them so much steadier, I wonder if they have any idea of all that that implies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Some husbands regard it as their prerogative to compel their wives to fit their standards of what they think to be the ideal.
Once you get married, women are still implicitly expected to do the majority of the housework and take care of any future children.
We still live in a world in which a significant fraction of people, including women, believe that a woman belongs and wants to belong exclusively in the home; that a woman should not aspire to achieve more than her male counterparts and, particularly, not more than her husband.
Women who want to work should be given the choice to do that. If you decide to work even after getting married, then men should allow that to happen.
Bachelors have consciences, married men have wives.
I'm not saying that women shouldn't pursue careers, but if it is going to be equal in the workplace, it should certainly pan out to be a little bit more equal in the home, too.
Bachelors know more about women than married men; if they didn't they'd be married too.
A man marries to have a home, but also because he doesn't want to be bothered with sex and all that sort of thing.
Many men hoard for the future husbands of their wives.
Despite the myth that men are less committed, they are predisposed to desire marriage.
