VixR, u gotta emancipate your mind from the corporate brainwashing. They want us to think that working is good and liberating so that we can be loyal cogs in their machine who turn out crazy profits for their bottom line. There is nothing noble about work (read what Neitzche had to say about this). In some ways it's actually ignoble....the defining feature of nobles/aristocrats in most societies is their unlimited leisure while the rest of the population is resigned to a life of toil and sweat. Even in the Somali culture the noble nomads who wander with their herds of camels in search of pasture (hardly any labour involved) would despise the peasent farmers, blacksmiths and leather/shoe makers who would work for most of the day.
The thought of working for the rest of your life within an organization you don't own should make u shiver. I'm a man and I hate work. I only do it because it's my responsibility as a man to do so. That's why I intend to continue to invest my money so that soon I won't be beholden to the oligarchs who extract my labour and make within minutes what it would take me a lifetime to earn if I continue being a rate in their never ending rate race.
One of the blessings of being women is that they are exempted by normal societies from work and war, but feminism (pushed by social engineers and capitalists/corporations) has convinced you all that staying at home and relaxing is oppression lol. The flossing of women in to the work force subsequent to the cultural revolution of the 1960's doubled the labour pool for companies and thus severely depressed wages for all workers. That's why men can no longer support their families in their salary alone, and double income houses are now needed. Women are now forced to work whether they like or not, and are more depressed and miserable than ever according to studies. Well yall asked for it, so enjoy.
Do you realize in quoting Neitzche, you're quoting a moral nihilist lol?
Thank you, jugjugwacwac, I appreciate it, but I'm not brainwashed. You and I simply have different philosophies pertaining to work, especially since it'll be in a field that challenges me and I enjoy. I don't believe SOHM are oppressed at all, it's just not the lifestyle for me.
Working for oneself in one's own business is definitely ideal, I agree, and I will do so if I can help it, but I'm not shivering at the thought of working for an organization, either, provided it fits my ideals.



@ investment. It's extremely important to invest. I agree here, too.
Lastly, women are not more depressed, per se, not substantially or without accounting, anyway.
