Should mention argument that "the husband being the only financial supporter makes the wife economically dependent on him" ignores, which is that the wife who has a job is financially dependent (usually) on her boss (unless she is the boss, which is highly unusual). --Daniel C. Boyer 19:32, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- I think the sentence is meant to because of this dependency, the wife usually has less liberty about matters like divorce or husband's affiar outside marriage. -- Taku 19:40, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)
- This should be fleshed out then. Because the meaning it gives or appears to give is very different. The dependence on the boss should be acknowleged, or at least the POV that that exists should be acknowledged. --Daniel C. Boyer 19:47, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Please do not update until the VfD deletion and move is complete - to preserve history from Housewife - Texture 19:58, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

This word is not used in British English. Could we make some mention of where it is used? Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 10:19, 4 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Can we move some of the pieces on dependence / finance to another page or another section, and try to make this page a little more gender neutral? It sounds like a 1950s manual for young women! Mark Richards 08:04, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Done my best to clean this up, encorporating the bits that you put back in. Mark Richards 08:19, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Should discuss movement to have women paid for housework. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:39, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Agreed, but it's not women, its people, who the movement wants to have paid for housework. Mark Richards 22:56, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
