Are these code phrases for naughty activities?

I thought I was doing quite well. Maybe he is taking both sides?

To be graphic: H.E.L.L. NO. I would rather blow my brains out than be a glorfied housekeeper for the rest of my life. I feel so strongly about this that I'm not even close friends with SAHMs. I just don't understand why any woman would let her financial security be dictated by another. If the man left them either through death, divorce, or disablement these women would be screwed.

IMHO: Women who chose to "just be" a homemaker is taking significant steps backwards. There is nothing than no one can tell me that justifies depending on another adult to make sure that the bills are paid & that there is food in the fridge.

I wish. Sadly we'll be too medicated to have anything like a sex drive but on the up side, we'll be too stoned to notice.

Your youth is showing.

I hope you never plan to have children.

1. I don't know of any SAHM that contributed anything more than cooking & cleaning. It truly doesn't take all day to do what so many SAHM claim it does.

2. No, I don't. Because I think my worth is more than what I can drop out of my lower half.

Yes, you totally missed it.

Obviously there's a large difference between being a housewife and mother compared to just being a kept woman.

My point was merely allusion to the latter - which is what several women I've had the misfortune to know were actually looking for, a life of permanent vacation with no responsibilities beyond whatever tickled their fancy at the moment whatsoever.
