The Don S. McClure Show - Viewing women through 1960 Glasses

The Don S. McClure Show Live Viewing women with 1960 glasses.

How outdated are your views about women today? 

 In a few conversations with males from the Black community and some from other races, the issues of women's rights in relationships becomes a topic. Finding that many men think women had no desire to become a respected member of society capable of gaining a strong education, finding desired employment for her basic needs and desires starting when she was in elementary school and was asked what she wanted to become later in life. Some men assumed that women only wanted someone to take care of them because that was how life was seen when a woman was not allowed to work or could only find servent jobs, and the man was held as the provider. While the woman was seen as the homemaker, her only value was the provider of children and home-cooked meals. 

As women continued to grow and learn that their value was more than someone deciding what role she should play and hearing other men say what she wanted out of life or what she had to receive from a relationship which was financial assistance or taking care of. These men forgot that women found a way and fought hard to break that type of thinking while becoming lawyers, doctors, heads of corporations making hundreds of dollars if possible. And the theory of being taking care of was behind them as the positive woman for self-worth. He would say things like you are too independent, or you think you are smarter, or you should know a woman's place. Or you are too intimidating for a man. Not realizing that some women had more goals than sitting around waiting for someone to take care of her. So he wrote books on how she would think and what she wanted.

The conversation ended with I think I see the light that a person has dreams long before they met and dated a man.
