There are literally millions of examples in the U.S. -- and across the planet -- of women who have careers and families who manage to juggle both and do it with excellence.
Just because it's all a typical RW American man can do is go to work and mow the yard once a week doesn't mean that WE are that lazy and helpless. See how that broad brush paints an erroneous picture? lol
You wouldn't lose money picking crops; you're just a part time janitor at a state prison. You make less than the flight attendant you're competing for my attentions with. lol
Thanks for sharing your personal experience and insights on the matter.
They WILL do it if it means work OR starve. Benefits are changing. All the help in the world for the needy but not one thin dime for the lazy and corrupt. They WILL work at least part time,..if not they will receive no food stamps, section 8, or free medical. The bill is FINALLY come due. Its time for EVERYONE to pay their fair share,...MUCH is owed. Now get your asses to work!

Whether married, divorced, widowed, or single women take care of business both at work and at home. The end.

So i want everyone to see above what a Magat sees as the solution to this issue and how they can force Americans to do the jobs migrants currently do.
His solution is 'change policy to put a gun to Americans head of do this work or die via starvation'. To a magat it is that simple. FLOL
Jobs i have shown even high school students (jocks) could not do and survive on the income they got as they live in America where the cost of living is so much higher.
What magats are too stupid to understand is that the reason migrants can do it is many are working a period of hardship, sending the money back home where it is enough to live on there, and those who stay in America illegally to do the work are often living in communal settings or in the levels of poverty Americans will not do.

why do women want to be men?

StupiderthanMost i will cite one example of friends and between them and colleagues i, just one person, could cite over a dozen.
She : a top executive VP at one of the biggest insurance companies in the US making over $200K/yr
He : a grade school teacher making what they make.
Family : Married 30+ year, 1 child, tried to have second but an illness prevented her having more
After birth she took 6 months off to be with child. He then took a year off, when she went back to work.
Facts we cannot deny.
- women already the majority are increasingly taking an even bigger share in graduate level degrees
- women are increasingly taking the highest paying jobs
This is providing women much more freedom and options to have the families they want or no families at all.
(inb4 you reply with stats you do not understand such as a percent of women saying the 'missing piece' of their lives is a 'marriage and kids' which in no way says those women would prefer to be the 50's type disempowered 'wife and mother only' type which is great for some but not for others, as proven by the fact that by the increasing number of women who choose the empowerment path when they do not need to.)

Give us a laugh and give us your definition of what qualities are exclusive to men, in what she said or others and that you think if women choose to do them, that is them 'trying to be men'?
Go ahead. Give it a shot.

stats I do not understand???? I know that the exception doesn't make the rule. And here's where you problem is going to be with stats YOU do not understand, or more specifically, the evolutionary female trait of hypergamy. but by all means, continue being an idiot thinking you're a genius

American farmers—many of whom backed Trump in 2024—are facing a perfect storm: ICE’s aggressive deportation efforts and erratic tariff moves are wreaking havoc on their livelihoods, threatening rural communities with economic collapse.
Immigration enforcement has disrupted a crucial labor force. A June 21 Washington Post report detailed how Colorado farmer J.J. Ficke—a Trump voter—lost access to a $200,000 federal grant to hire seasonal farmhands from Latin America. That grant, alongside billions in agricultural funding, was frozen in January 2025. Over 140 farmers applied, seeking $4 million, but none received any funds. Wisconsin grower Tracy Vinz lamented, “I’ve employed Americans, and they quit after a few days. They quit after a few hours.” Georgia’s Mitch Lawson echoed that sentiment, observing American workers often don’t last a full day. The USDA estimates 42% of crop farmworkers are undocumented—highlighting how heavily farming relies on immigrant labor.
In Vermont, dairy farmers are paralyzed with fear after ICE raids. One farmer noted, “All the dairy farmers who voted for Trump were under the impression they weren’t going to come on farms and take our guys.” Vermont’s $3.6 billion dairy industry supplies 63% of New England’s milk, prompting the state’s agriculture secretary to ask, “Who’s going to milk the cows?” Trump acknowledged the strain on June 12 via Truth Social: “Our great Farmers… have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace.” He promised “changes are coming,” and on June 20 posts on X suggested a farm-sponsored migrant worker program—though no policy changes have materialized.
On top of labor woes, Trump’s tariff blitz is compounding the crisis. On March 3 he announced 25% tariffs on agricultural imports from Canada and Mexico, to begin April 2, urging domestic production. But U.S. farm exports—worth $180 billion annually—are now threatened by retaliatory duties. In his first term, tariffs triggered a $23 billion bailout; current threats could demand even larger rescues. West Virginia’s Jennifer Gilkerson lamented to NBC News how USDA cutbacks left her unsold freeze-dried fruits. Iowa’s Bob Hemesath warned, “Once you lose those markets to other suppliers, it’s very hard to get them back.” Kansas consultant Ben Palen criticized farmers for trusting Trump blindly, noting tariffs push up costs for fertilizer, equipment, and fuel while critical programs like the 45Z tax credit hang in limbo.
North Carolina farmer Ethan Jordan still faces drought and flood losses, with $77,000 in pending USDA aid for 1,600 acres. Trump’s freeze affected the Environmental Quality Incentives and Rural Energy for America programs. Maryland flower farmer Laura Beth Resnick invested $73,000 in solar panels expecting reimbursement, only to face financial ruin. Although a judge blocked the freeze, funds remain stalled. Vegetable farmers Jacob and Jennifer Thomas took a 10% hit after $1 billion in school and food bank produce programs was slashed. California winemaker Bryan Zesiger described the cuts as “earth-shattering and life-changing.”
These combined pressures are shifting farmers’ allegiances. Wisconsin journalist John Nichols noted on MSNBC on May 23 that rural growers are in “real crisis” over trade uncertainty and tariffs. NPR’s Jim Moyer from Washington State warned damaged global trade ties—China’s potential switch to Brazil could bite—and merchandiser Byron Behne criticized Trump’s vague “have fun” messaging. The Atlantic reported on April 16 that American soybean producers in red states are losing ground; China’s retaliatory 125% tariffs risk diverting business permanently to Brazil, fueling environmental concerns about Amazon deforestation.
Farmers are proposing fixes: legal work pathways and targeted bailouts to match tariff losses. A Reddit user on June 21 wrote that farm laborers deserve documentation and living wages, estimating a $21/hour farm wage in Wisconsin would hike grocery prices by only 20% at most. Others are investing in automation—though high-tech pickers still can’t fully replace hands-on labor.
With midterms on the horizon, this economic strain could undercut Trump’s rural base. Ficke, suffering drought, costs, and Medicaid uncertainty, faces the choice of survival over politics. His wife Kassidee asked, “How would the couple, who had no health insurance, pay for their daughter’s care if the administration and Congress gutted Medicaid?” Meanwhile, Texas grower Travis Johnson told the Guardian on April 15, “No farmer wants this, but without a bailout, this could be devastating, and a lot more people could go under.”
Trump’s vague promise of “changes” offers little comfort. Farm communities that once trusted him now brace for impact. As these struggles intensify with no relief in sight, America’s food supply, rural economies, and political allegiances hang in the balance.

I'm shocked. There was no hype whatsoever, and I never accused you of caring about human life. Wherever there are children to be killed, your party takes a straightforward, methodical, systematic approach to ensuring professional results with a money-back guarantee. Conservatives can't match your party's genius at combining defenseless zones with compulsory attendance.
Accept your laurels.

The issue you have StupiderthanMost is that you present nothing other than your poorly formed opinion.
I absolutely agree that hypergamy, as an evolutionary trait will cause problems as women gain ever more of the income share. We have many evolutionary traits that very subtly but also powerfully impact our decision making in ways many never realize (such as desire to keep eating when full and put on fat due to historical cycles of feast and famine) and hypergamy is a key one. The fact that historically women who got pregnant could be devastated if they had no man with an income and home drove that to being a top tier evolutionary need. And just as with 'over eating', hypergamy is very tough to over come if a female is not self aware of it and actively engages to change it.
But the key to that is not for women to stop working and become more subservient and to instead evolve to understand their evolutionary instinct to seek a man with greater shelter and income is not necessary increasingly in a world where women can be the primary income earner.
As with my stated example above, with female making $200K+/yr marrying WAY down, via income, and having a seemingly successful family and marriage we see more such examples like that trend is growing. As more females who also make large incomes see that, it gives them more reason to consider it whereas prior the instinct may have been to feel like they failing if they married a lesser earning male.
So the key to success is NOT forcing women to not be able to earn large incomes and is instead for the evolution process to continue, as it has been, to a point where hypergamy and over eating and other such evolutionary influences subside. And they WILL.
