Should women focus more on jobs or children?

[Harbal]

But that is VT's stock and trade,

The expression is "stock in trade", doc. Get it right next time.

I thought of that, but I like my way better, and you knew what I meant.

[Harbal]

I thought of that,

Of course you did, doc.

but I like my way better,

Yes, I've noticed your judgement has a tendency to leave you looking rather dim witted.

and you knew what I meant.

That's no excuse for you not knowing what you meant.

And less is expected of me that way.

"What do you mean?" is, without a doubt, the stupidest question in the English language.

Not even "Huh?" comes close.

But it is also the most common, so are you saying that most of the human race is stupid? If so, I would agree.

[Walker]

In other words, you're asking what did I mean.

Yes, the irony. Ha ha.

You could have just cut to the chase and said, "Huh?

Huh? Better now?

You see what I did there?

The same thing you've been doing all along: making a pillock of yourself.

Oh my! Says the blind pot who can't see that he is not talking to a black kettle.

Yet again Harbal rides into a post, on his donkey, to tilt at windmills, contributing nothing salient to the thread.

This is a philosophy forum, and you are on a thread about the role of women with regard to employment or children. If you have nothing to say on the subject, bugger off and allow people the space to discuss. Have you run out of toilet walls to write on? No friends to play with, so you'd rather make enemies? Go do it elsewhere, unless you actually have something salient to say.

[ForCruxSake]

What 'should' men focus on?

What women want them to focus on?

Actually it's a good question. It's not as if they have to choose between a job or being a dad, or balancing between the two. Or do they? 'House husbands' are growing in numbers and I'm constantly hearing men talk about how they are the ones to get a family meal on the table, of an evening.

[Harbal]

Or do they? '.

I don't know.

[Walker]

What 'should' men focus on?

For the man in family, vigilance over truth, ahimsa, cherishing and protecting the precious, calculating implications of action and inaction in light of purpose.

From this focus arises the proper attitudes, occupation, home and activities.

In the end, men don’t say they wish they had spent more time away from their families (of course there are always the exceptions.)

Harbal can say more in one sentence than you can in 100 paragraphs.
