The reality is women will get sick, probably not sick enough that a man would take a day off, but regardless a woman will go down like a horse with colic at the slightest sniffle and probably take an extra "day or 2" for recovery. She will lose track of how many "sickies" she has taken and end...

That's right, women in this country have always had it very comfortable anyway so why throw them an incentive to be lazier than they already are. Should be more incentive for those who plan their families and aim to be less of a burden on the system as a whole.

Not mention all the sick days. Far more sick days for women.

Bit late for playing dumb when you've essentially been complaining about your lot for the majority of the thread?

I think the fairer sex has proven to be not so fair after all, if this thread is anything to go by.

You've already said that and need to garner some new material. Yes some good depictions of risky occupations in those photos. Certainly a great deal more risky than spending the day clinking virtual wine glasses on facebook and growing an acre of backside in the process. Such is the lot...

I'm so glad I married the type of woman I did and not some oxygen thief with a sense of entitlement.

Remember you get paid for it and pretty well always have in this country. Be grateful, I'm sure many women in other countries would love to "bloody well deserve it".

Did my fair share of increasing the landfill by changing nappies. Didn't have to wash them of courses, like my mother did.

Just imagine if Facebook time was included as part of that screenbased activity time for women in that 18-34 bracket in Australia? No wonder the incidence of obesity in pregnancy is on the rise in this country, not to mention all the associated health risks that go with it.

Don't you love the way that anything that doesn't suit the built in female confirmation bias is passed off as anecdotal or incorrect?

The Divorce rate is on the decline again for one reason and one reason only. Cost Of Living Pressures.

It is you who is displaying the ignorance Wylie, trying to play the motherhood role off as being one of hardship, because you decided hubby said so. It's a lifestyle choice, a luxury and certainly not any sort of achievement or Olympic event, any woman can do it, except of course for the...

It seems divorce rates aren't increasing. From 2007-2011 the rate per 1000 people has stayed around 2.2 and 2.3. This is down from 2.9 in 1996, and very far down from the biggest peak of 4.9 in 1976 after the Family Law Act 1975 came into effect.

Anyone who complains about the ordeal of being a stay at home Mum in this country needs their head read or to do some travelling and get some perspective. There are plenty of countries, even some European ones, where mums have got to get back to work within days or even less of giving birth...

Married 20 years, both always worked, 1 child. That's was your conscious choice Wylie. No one made you have 3 children, or children at a time when you had to do all this "extra" stuff. You're not re inventing the wheel by complaining or perhaps boasting about it. It's a choice, the children...

Not too many 5 years olds being breast fed?

It's only a very short window where they do that and isn't that big an effort if you ask me, particularly if the grandparents are around to get palmed off to. Of course the more children, the more work, at a younger age anyway. But these days, once the kids are of school age ( and they go...

It's simple Men fight over women. Women fight over men. Just the reasons are distinctly different.
