Looks like the feminist message of work, work, work. Is being ignored.  :lol:

Their grandmothers fought for the vote, their mothers battled to have it all, but the upcoming generation of girls have decided to turn the clock back and just want stay at home with their babies.
According to a survey of 5,000-plus teenage girls, their main ambition is to complete university then return to the homestead - whether their partners like it or not.

More than nine out of 10 of the girls believe it should be up to their husbands to provide for them, with 97 per cent disagreeing with the statement 'It doesn't matter who is the main earner, as long as we are happy.'

More than 90 per cent of those polled for CosmoGirl magazine's November issue believe it is the man's role to provide the household's money, with 85 per cent maintaining they would rather rely on their partner for financial support than be a successful, independent woman.

Instead of making a career for themselves, girls today plan to be married by the age of 25 - three years below the current national average of 28.2 years old.

They call him the wanderer. Moving from one message board to the next. Just looking for a place to call home.

97% seems suspiciously high.  Nothing polls that high.

Would you have demanded one if you were an Iraqi citizen?

Considering that there is a Marriage strike happening. It will be difficult for them to find marriable men who are willing to support them in the lifestyle that they want.

If they do not get the men then they will get them in other ways, and then be supported by them and the state.

Quite true.   Something isn't kosher there.
on't walk ahead of me, I may not follow.   Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.   Don't walk beside me either.  Stay the hell away from me!

Well, it isn't exactly the definition of a "random sample"...  :D
