Essay on breeders
This article would be far more interesting (in my opinion) if it mentioned that men tend to like and marry women that have this high WAF factor. I have been considering my own essay on the female gender with my experiences with them turning themselves into breeders by rewarding each other for making babies they cannot afford to keep within the systems they also reward and support.
What is the reason that men reward women with this high WAF thing anyways? -- Carol 13:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Never heard of this before. Also, remember Wikipedias policy when it comes to original research Mvikjord (talk) 10:48, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Oh, it's pretty common. Was very delighted to see it on Misplaced Pages (and that it's 1st result in Google search). IonutBizau (talk) 13:23, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
SAF????
Is this "politically correct" version ("SAF") necessary to be noted? As far as I know, nobody on earth uses this term, it looks like someone just put it here to blatantly promote political correctness. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.115.100 (talk) 18:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- I COMPLETELY AGREE. There is NO need at ALL to be politically correct. It's called a WIFE ACCEPTANCE FACTOR for a reason. Could Binksternetstop re-editing the original article as there is no genuine contribution you are making, rather your edits are detrimental. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.203.94 (talk) 20:12, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- The source for that bit is not free any more unless the reader (unlike myself) subscribes to boston.com, but when I looked at it last year, it was free. After a year of not looking, I remember it said that "Woman" is sometimes changed for "Wife", and "Approval" for "Acceptance". It also said that "Spouse" has sometimes been used instead of "Wife" in cases such as homosexual partnerships, or heterosexual role reversals where the man dislikes the woman's extravagant addition to shared space in the home.
- Your argument against listing these variations falls flat—it has no foundation in fact. You say there is a reason but you do not supply it. It would be interesting to know what that reason is, but such a reason would not nullify the fact that Misplaced Pages articles are free to list notable variations where relevant. These terms are likely to be the ones that a reader types into a search engine, and the varied terms all redirect to this page: Woman Approval Factor and Spouse Acceptance Factor, for instance, come right back here. Deleting them from the article makes no sense at all when that kind of navigation is taken into consideration. Binksternet (talk) 22:38, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was moved to Wife acceptance factor since it is not a proper noun. —harej (T) 06:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Woman acceptance factor → Wife Acceptance Factor — The original and still the most common usage of the term WAF is "Wife Acceptance Factor", not Woman or Spouse. First instance I can find is September 1983 in Stereophile magazine. Reference found in article. Binksternet (talk) 15:13, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
