um
 		all right
 	
 	
 		i've uh as far as i'm concerned i find that the young women have lost so much
 		because they have become more aggressive and more dominating and i think that comes about from their being a definite factor in the job market now
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		oh well i tend i tend to agree uh in some ways i think it's uh i think if anything a lot of um
 		the changes that have occurred um in some ways they're for the better because i think women should have a choice and i do believe in the being able to have a choice as to as far as what you would like to do with your life but by the same token
 		and i know this for myself because i've worked and i've not  worked
 		um that it makes it uh sometimes it makes life more difficult i think when the roles now are less defined as far as you know what uh women should or should not be doing that
 		it it makes it can make life more difficult there are more things to work out i know when i was working you know you have all these problems with
 		with the child care and and with uh pleasing you know your boss on the job so you have added stresses from there and then you still have all the things that um
 		that you need to do at home and and that doesn't change you know just because your your going out of the house for so many hours a day doesn't uh make those other things go away and the other responsibilities are still important um
 		so um have you have you worked outside also and um feel that it that well how do you feel as far as uh what would be a happy medium or or what would you like to see
 	
 	
 		i would like uh yes i have worked outside of the home and i was in one of those safe occupations i was a school teacher
 	
 	
 		yes
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and we had one child when i taught for my two year career
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		uh we uh then i stopped teaching after my husband's business business was established and we had two children and i stayed home with those children and
 	
 	
 		yes
 	
 	
 		raised those children and now that my husband has retired i am back substitute teaching which
 	
 	
 		yes
 	
 	
 		if anyone has ever been involved in that some days it's fun and some days you wonder why you're even bothering because your fighting for your life but i am a fighter and i've always been a disciplinarian
 	
 	
 		right
 		but yeah
 	
 	
 		uh i'm i'm not real sure that the young girls of today are being forced into the job market as many of them imply i think they're going in by choice
 	
 	
 		oh i believe i think so yes
 	
 	
 		yes and and i have no problem with that but i think the male needs to be the dominant person
 		and i think too many of the young professional wives in our small town of five thousand uh are not letting that happen they are very aggressive
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		they're uh they almost have what i would call a killer bee killer bee instinct
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		and they have to be in charge and and i think i think they lose a lot by what i call neutering their husbands
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		well what do you think though um um i don't know i the the
 		one problem i guess i have and maybe why so many women younger women now are choosing to go outside is i feel that in general in this society
 		that being at home is not looked upon as um a job in itself whereas you know you hear a lot of women that are home saying that it is a job in itself but i know when i was working
 		and i was a an engineer so i was always with men
 		uh and they were single many of them and i tried to explain to them well my day doesn't end when i leave at i used to leave at three i keep going to eleven at night and they had
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		they used to look down on women that were home they'd say oh i bet you go home and you know at least you get out of here at three and you can go home and put your feet up and watch soap operas and i used to be infuriated because they really had no idea
 	
 	
 		oh sure
 		
 
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		what was involved once i got home now taking care of them running them everywhere helping with homework the bath the whole you know everything
 	
 	
 		hum
 	
 	
 		um and i think that one reason that so many younger women feel in uh compelled to go into a profession is that they feel that if they stay home they are not respected
 	
 	
 		huh
 	
 	
 		and that being home is not a respectable uh position in society and there's a lot of truth to that and i don't know how you feel i don't know how you felt when you were home and what kind of feedback you got but i can see with the younger men
 		that they definitely are looking down upon women that are home and yet by the same token i think some of it is jealousy you you once in a while you hear them say things like
 		i wish i had the choice you know i wish i was the one i would stay home with my kids if my wife would go out and support us
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		if my wife had an education and could support us and the only value i see coming out of this is that children now in in a two parent home they now actually have two parents because
 	
 	
 		um-hum
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		i see my sons-in-law i have a daughter who's a nurse and i have a daughter who's a beautician and i see my sons-in-law cooking
 	
 	
 		right
 		uh-huh
 		right
 	
 	
 		and dropping children off at the sitter and picking children up from school and
 	
 	
 		right right
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and having a much better relationship with their children than my husband ever did because he left home at five thirty in the morning and he got home at six fifteen
 	
 	
 		that's true
 		that's true
 	
 	
 		and uh he ate his dinner and he was asleep in his chair because he was exhausted
 	
 	
 		yes
 		right
 	
 	
 		so now the young fathers are having a chance to parent and i think that's an advantage
 	
 	
 		and they enjoy it
 		yeah and they do enjoy it i i see you're right i see many more men in the supermarket in the parks with their children and i think that is healthy because children
 	
 	
 		uh-huh uh-huh uh-huh
 		and i think it's a a wonderful advantage for the young for the for the particularly for the males for the little boys to have a relationship with their father and and i don't think you
 	
 	
 		right oh yeah
 		yes
 	
 	
 		we get into so much of the mother dominating figure if if the father has more input there
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		but uh i don't understand why the young girls feel like they have to build roads and they have to that kind of job uh to go out there and shovel that tar and
 	
 	
 		and
 	
 	
 		and drive those big trucks and we just recently finished a long drive through the west a little over five thousand miles and at one point we sat down
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		uh i didn't realize it but i sat at a counter to have a cup of coffee that happened to be for truck drivers only and here's this young girl
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		with the tattoos and she was has just had just driven a load of meat from Minneapolis to some place in Arizona and she'd been
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		and i ask her how old she was and she was the age between the age of our daughters
 		and she had been driving a truck for seven years and i thought gosh
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		i mean why would a woman choose that rough and tumble life style when
 	
 	
 		yeah
 	
 	
 		i guess i'm still i'm a maybe Victorian and my husband is a little bit of a male chauvinist in that
 	
 	
 		
 
 	
 	
 		he's a very considerate person but he also thinks a woman should be taken care of and and in the home and she should vote but after she talks to her husband about how she ought to vote
 	
 	
 		oh boy
 	
 	
 		now it probably doesn't work that way in our household because i have strong opinions about things too but
 	
 	
 		yea h
 	
 	
 		uh i like being taken care of i like my luggage carried and my door opened and i think the young women are losing that and i think that's sad
 	
 	
 		well it
 		well that that's true there is that part too and i guess we also have to examine though and although your husband's probably been as much conditioned as you know  anybody else um i guess having
 	
 	
 		he was raised in the south i think that's a little war condition  both
 	
 	
 		oh oh yeah and and you have to i guess you have to question too why a lot of the men especially i think middle age and older men why they feel that way and
 		and i think it gets scary for them to see change also they've been used to being really to be honest in in society and in a way number one and they come home and everything's done for them and their meal is served
 	
 	
 		uh-huh huh
 	
 	
 		and i think it's frightening to them to see the roles switching and i think i think this reaction comes more out of fear now my husband is
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		sure
 	
 	
 		um he's ten years older than me and but he has his attitudes are
 		very much pro-women pro-career which is kind of interesting he comes from a culture where women are stay at home and do everything um and yet
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		um he's the type that he is willing to have to take on more responsibility
 		um if that meant you know for me to be able to uh uh advance or go back to work or whatever i'm kind of more  thank you  i'm kind of more middle
 		of the road i think that when children are small i think it's okay for women to work especially there should be some a lot more part time
 		but i think it's um
 		i don't believe in this career you know this career drive when when they're small because i think  they're downstairs Aaron  i think that's very um
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		unfair to to children like uh engineers usually work fifty or sixty hours a week i refused to work more than thirty i was part-time and even that was a rat race but
 	
 	
 		uh-huh uh-huh huh
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		i think you have to put in perspective that you know when the kids came home from school i wanted to be here i didn't want i don't want a job where i'm traveling around and and i'm away and uh
 	
 	
 		uh-huh
 	
 	
 		so i think you can have both it's more hectic but i think you have to put into perspective what your kids need first then
 	
 	
 		i think a lot of my problem with the young mothers is
