Women Want to Stay at Home - That's a Fact

New research shows what many have known for years, that woman want to marry a rich man and stay at home. Going shopping everyday with a pleasant trip to the coffee shop makes the ideal life for most women. In regard to sex many don't even need it. Perhaps the lower libido of an elderly man suites them.

Times of campaigning for equality are over. Look around and you see most women marry, get pregnant within a year or so, and live off their husband's income, totally. Many never intend to work after getting married. A staggering 69 per cent of those surveyed said they wanted to stay home with their children.

Ask a man who is heading toward the age of 30 what he wants out of life. He will breath in deeply, heave out a sigh, then say "I am sick of work!" No one wants to toil away all those valuable hours in the day when you could be relaxing, fishing, messing about with the car, or tinkering with something in the garden shed. Women feel the same, though they would rather do other things.

It was believed that women wanted partners who were more educated and generally smarter than themselves. New evidence shows this is not the case. Only 19 per cent wanted a more intelligent husband. Indeed, 32 per cent of women said they were brighter than their partners. More women than ever are marrying wealthier men irrespective of age.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Women are genetically programmed to stay near the hearth, preparing food and tending to children. Give a man a child caring task and he will usually mess it up. His mind wanders to other things. He will take the easy way out - tie the kids down to playing a game or watching TV while he wanders off into another room to do his thing.

There is so much people want to do in life. It is human nature for women to want to do it sooner rather than later. A wealthy husband helps in this regard. He may be older and not good looking. This is irrelevant.

Watches Make a Comeback

Have you noticed that hardly anyone wears a wristwatch today. For years this was a big industry especially in Switzerland, but also in Asia. Most people bought cheap watches in department stores. This was the case when Timex ruled the world's time. If you couldn't afford a decent watch a Timex would do. Then came the era of mass produced digital watches from Asia that flooded world markets. A watch could then be bought for a few bucks.

The rise of the mobile phone led to the demise of the wristwatch. If you want to know the time today you glance at your mobile. People wear a wristwatch now only when they go out for a meal, on occasions when they get dressed up. This is particularly the case with the older generation. The young don't even own wristwatches.

Fashion now dictates that one wears a watch. That is if one follows fashion. You see a watch is now a sign of wealth. If you own a watch then you are rich. That is simple isn't it! Watches are becoming designer pieces for those who want the status of looking like they have money. So watches have turned full circle. Centuries ago only the very rich could afford to own a wristwatch or its predecessor the fob watch - they were hand made. In those days Switzerland was seen as a leading industrial nation. Swiss companies are making a comeback. Prices are rising as people are prepared to pay for a uniquely designed watch. Like in the early days people are now buying an image, a concept. The dial is also preferred over digital. There is a problem: owners will have to learn how to read the time on a dial.

Gevernment Funding of Private Schools Should Be Reduced

Why should ordinary people support private schools? Taxes are taken from everyone so parents who choose to send their children to private schools should pay the full cost. Children are sent to private schools because funding is redirected to support these schools. Take the money away and let all children have an education on a level playing field.

A review of school funding is about to begin. The fat coffers of private schools need to be curtailed. One time head of the NSW Education Department says that the support of private schools is a misplaced belief in "neo-Darwin free-market forces". He goes on to say that the system panders to "an exclusive clientele identified by religion, ethnicity or some other dimension". He is correct in claiming that this gives some an "exclusive education". Income of private schools must be taken into account before money is allocated. The books should be reviewed and openly published by the Government. A school that has money coming out of its ears should certainly be penalized.

The current practise means public schools are starved of funds while many private school do it easy. Money per student in a government school is $12,639 while a student in private school receives $ 6,606. It is incorrect to say that every student being educated in a private school saves the taxpayer 6,033. Wealthy parents would continue to send their children to private schools if no funding was available. The fall in money to the non-government sector since 2003 of 0.6 percent is trivial. It needs to be so much more. Barriers also exist. Public schools have to take a student. Apply for entry to a Catholic school and admit that you are Protestant. You will not hear from that school again.

There is no doubt that the present system of gaining a tertiary education favors the wealthy. The young person from a high-income family can certainly find a place in a university somewhere in the country even if minimum entry academic achievement is not met.

Disadvantage lies in the public school sector so rationally this is where funding should go.
