A woman with self respect does not have to completely depend on a man

[Anonymous 3]

A very close-minded statement. I'd love for you to elaborate.

If you cant even support yourself you dont respect yourself or your kids IMO

Elaborate on what?

A feel like a woman should be able to support herself. If she cant she is pathetic

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that I'm sure there are plenty of women who may (by choice or because of a disability) be currently dependant on a man. I'd be willing to bet that there are also a few men out there in this exact boat.

Do you honestly believe that any man or woman who is dependant on the other totally lacks self respect or doesn't respect his/her kids?

Why does it matter? If she is comfortable the way she is, why is she pathetic or lack self respect?
She lives a different life than the life you chose, Different isn't wrong, it is just different.

I will say that I do think it's in a woman's best interest to "self protect" by making sure she can survive on her own without a man so that in the event that she needs to, she can.

But if a couple agrees that one will work and the other won't, it in no way means that the non-working partner lacks self respect or that he or she is "pathetic." If the couple is happy with arrangement, so be it. Who am I to judge?

If a person can not support themselves man or woman yes I do think they lack self respect.

So you dont even disagree with me. Cool

I never said if someone makes a choice to stay home or whatever they are pathetic.... I am saying someone who HAS to depend on someone is pathetic.

It is wrong for an adult to not be able to support themselves

Short of disabilities of course

Your opinion on the subject doesn't make it a fact.

So, you think that no person, who is on disability, could possibly have any self respect?

If a person can not support themselves man or woman yes I do think they lack self respect.
