Text A
These days one sees women taking a higher proportion of places in
shops, offices, colleges and universities than they did ten years ago.
It certainly makes me wonder who is left at home to look after the
neglected homes, husbands and children. What is the point of a man
marrying with the idea of having someone to took after his home, when
after the wedding is over the lady rushes back to her classes or her
job?
For centuries women have been content to accept the role of wife,
mother and home-maker. Why is it that our young women now assume that
they have the natural gifts, that is, the brains and the stamina, fbr
university education and the pursuit of previously all-male professions?
It seems very strange that these "talents" have remained hidden fbr so
long if they have, indeed, been there all the time.
Women in the past have been content to let the man be the breadwinner
and the head of the household. Whatever a man provided in the past the
woman was content with. Nowadays women want cars and modem electrical
goods immediately they are married, and go out to work so that they can
buy them rather than do without. No man worthy of the name can want his
friends to think that he is unable to provide for his wife.
We are getting to the point where men cannot find work because women
have the jobs that should rightly be theirs. Employers are acting
giving so many jobs to women in preference to men who have families to
support.
If women seeking husbands bothered to find out what it is that most
men want in a wife, they would soon know that it is a quiet, gentle woman,
well trained in the domestic arts by her mother. She keeps the house
clean, cooks appetizing meals and is grateful fbr her place as wife and
mother.
So ladies, consider what you are sacrificing by pursuing your own
careers. Not only do you risk neglecting the care of your children, but
you also fbrfbit(失 去)the respect of your husband.
