Should women have equal pay and opportunities?

Good grief.

Bumface. You might have been brought up with this outlook but what do you believe now?

Bangs head against wall !!!!

Oh yes, and make sure you have your lipstick on when he gets home from a hard day at work. Don't want to upset him!!
😂😂😂

Is the OP being serious in asking this question in 2024? Or have we just gone back a century?

Well you can’t get much older than me and I wasn’t brought up like that my mum and both Nans worked my mum worked full time for all my childhood maternal Nan was running her own business of a boarding house so she had me with her while mum and dad were at work
Perhaps Bumface is older than all of us 🤣

And his tea on the table Grannybags. Don’t forget to take his shoes off and have his slippers warmed by the fire.

I have a casual widow friend who had this life and is now a miserable bitter lady. Always at odds with the world and jealous of women with a happy life.
One child who she hardly ever sees, unable to drive because her husband wouldn’t let her, and struggles with finances because her husband took care of everything except for the grocery money he gave her.
She is an intelligent woman and it makes me so sad to hear her talk.
She recently said that ‘ you had to get married young in order to leave home’. I was appalled to hear this ☹️

Does OP qualify as GN's oldest member?
She must be at least 150.

In some countries and cultures that’s still the perception Bumface. Is that your current POV?
Are you endorsing that way of life, and which side of the family are you on, the money earner or the hard worker?

I was brought up to believe that a woman's role in civilised society was to marry a man, run a home and bear and raise children. The man was the breadwinner so his role was to provide the money, discipline the children if necessary and be looked after by the wife. He had the responsibility and the final word when making important decisions affecting the family.

I was brought up to believe that a woman's role in civilised society was to marry a man, run a home and bear and raise children.

Then get back into the kitchen / nursery / bedroom, and stop wasting your time on social media trying to wind-up other posters because you are in need of some attention.

Of course women should have equal pay and equal opportunities. It’s 2024, not 1824.

AI?

😂
A wind up indeed
So stop arsing around Bumface 😛

The OP has made a statement I would like to know what they think and how old they are.

The OP doesn’t state that she agrees with what she was brought up to believe.
Many ethnic groups in the UK think along those lines, even in 2024.

OP has lit the blue touch paper...and scarpered

Is it the 'silly season'? Never in the history of Gransnet has such a crass question been raised.

A wind up or we have time lapsed.

The girl that I marry will have to be
As soft and as pink as a nursery
The girl I call my own
Will wear satins and laces and smell of cologne
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten
A doll I can carry, the girl that I marry must be
Her nails will be polished and, in her hair,
She'll wear a gardenia and I'll be there
'stead of flittin', I'll be sittin'
Next to her and she'll purr like a kitten

Now…. ‘Annie Get Your Gun’

Bumface has posted on Gransnet since August 2023, and possibly earlier if anyone wants to look.

Bumface maybe a disgruntled man. The post would make more sense then.

I may well be wrong, but I think the OP once said she had been a hospital sister.

Hey, little girl
Comb your hair, fix your make-up
Soon he will open the door
Don't think because
There's a ring on your finger
You needn't try any more

For wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
I'm warning you

Day after day
There are girls at the office
And men will always be men
Don't send him off
With your hair still in curlers
You may not see him again

For wives should always be lovers, too
Run to his arms the moment he comes home to you
He's almost here

Hey, little girl
Better wear something pretty
Something you'd wear to go to the city
And dim all the lights
Pour the wine, start the music
Time to get ready for love
