It’s a problem that affects all Americans, no, affects all humanity worldwide. It is a predicament that spreads from generation to generation that puzzles mankind. It is the ultimate riddle for man- what to do with your woman.
For centuries man has debated, not on how to treat a woman of favor, who our mothers have always taught to treat with respect and honor, but instead with how to deal them. Which we know isn’t always a fine walk on the walk-way of heaven. Dr. Edwin G. Boring of Harvard University says that, “the great woman problem is the great man problem.”
So, I’ve decided to present my own modest proposal on how to deal with this preposterous woman problem for once and for all. I propose that we enlist all females on the planet to take over the man’s role in the workplace so that the men of the world can sit back relax and “raise the children” as women have been doing since the beginning of time. It is the perfect solution for the women problem.
It has been proven in studies (innovations-report.com) that women can handle more stress then men, or at least handle it better, “Women seem to be less susceptible than men to stress and serious stress-related illnesses because of the protective properties of the sex hormone estrogen.” So, with this in mind, we as men should allow women to conduct the men’s job of taking care of the family and providing in financial areas. If they can handle the stress better then why not allow them to be the moneymakers of the home?
Just in the United States alone there are 147.8 million females, nearly one-half of the total population (census.gov). Out of that number only 774,000 earned Bachelors degrees this past year while 2.9 million participated in high school athletics. This is a simple lesson for men: we need to get these women out of the recreational “fun” times that most of them are enjoying and enlist them to colleges to earn more degrees to get higher paying jobs so that they can support us.
For years women have been the child-raisers and have been “stay-at-home-moms.” It’s now time that men take over that role. According to the US Census bureau, there are over 11 million stay-at-home-moms, while only 189,000 stay-at-home-dads. It’s not that dad’s don’t want to stay at home. One woman said, "My husband was willing to stay home, but we couldn't survive off my salary, so I stayed home." We have to let women have our higher paying offices so we can have the lazy boy recliners at home and enjoy this dream job.
The men in this world have a simple solution to a problem that has subsisted over time. The problem of what to do with the woman has been solved. I’m more then willing to look at other proposals that come up, if any at all, but I think that this fits as the best way to solve our woman problem. The woman problem is no longer man’s greatest problem as Dr. Boring suggests. Now man’s greatest problem lies in waiting for his woman to come home to fetch him a bag of chips.

I don't know if this is supposed to serious or a joke.

There are many, many woman working in the workforce. And anyone who thinks being a stay at home parent is easy or a "dream job" has obviously never done it. I have a good friend who is a lawyer and she told me that taking care of her kids is harder than anything she has ever done, including law school.

Usually, when a parent decides to stay at home and raise the kids, it's a choice that the parents make together.

And I believe more woman are getting degrees than men now. So that issue has already turned. We are going to become a nation of white collar woman and blue collar men. How will that work for you?
