And the OP explained that the reason she has no income is because she is a 'stay at home mum' so perhaps further education might have helped your comprehension skills....:rotfl:

One could also argue that, by looking after the children, she is freeing her partner to earn and pay tax back into the system.

I'm so sick of men whining that they have to pay child support, or that the govt has to defer SLC repayments because a woman is looking after her (their) children. Perhaps men should step up a bit more, and share joint custody thus freeing the woman to work, and developing a better relationship with their offspring?

Gah.

Well, it was a stressfull day and I mis-read / skimmed OPs post, so that's my fault really. Apologies.

But please don't turn into a misandrist. There's enough hate in this world already.

You have good points above.

I already do thanks very much, but thanks for tarring me with your big sexist brush stroke.

I see no indication that people would have complained less had this ben a stay-at-home father.

Thank you.
And no, I like men just fine, especially if they actively pursue equality.

My big, accurate, misandrist brushstroke, if you don't mind!

I suspect that women doctors, dentists and engineers are just as likely to reproduce as those from 'humanities' or 'arts'.

I suspect (with absolutely no data or evidence to back it up ) that women in those careers are much less likely to give up their career to be a stay-at-home parent.

Indeed, nor did I claim it was. However, accusations of sexism in this thread involve just as little evidence.

Claws back in people and answer the OP's question.

If you don't believe what someone says on here then try to prove them wrong. We're not writing essays and we don't have to give our references. "Show me your reference" is just a quick was to derail a discussion. As by the way is the use of this >>>>:rotfl: after every post and phrases such as 'You're cute'.

For what it's worth:

Medicine and dentistry grads less then 1% unemployed.
