the woman's place is to cook, clean & care for children

[TheVrolok]

OP's dream women.

I know a few girls whose lifetime dream was to be "barefoot and pregnant."

 

[TheVrolok]

My point is, while different and unequal in certain areas overall they both have an equal number of strengths and weaknesses so all things considered no sex is superior. If no sex is superior then they are equal.

Now you have two options.

Option 1: Concede that I was right and the sexes are equal
Option 2: Continue your argument and name the superior sex

Their not equal, and neither is overall superior. As you realize there is an entire array of things that one sex does better than the other, but using the term "equal" takes that away. Each sex should be enjoyed for its strengths (and weaknesses).

she's MAYBE worked for 7 years total?
Don't kid yourself Boomer, she has worked for all of those 36 years. ^_^


OP, it's not "the woman's place to cook, clean & care for children". It is the responsibility of BOTH parents if BOTH parents work outside of the home.

That's why the wife shouldnt work. But hey! You wanted equality so now you got it. Get to work and still fulfill your role in the marriage.

Not what you thought it would be, eh?

outside of the home?

i wish it were able to be that way for everyone. my mom was a stay at home mom for most of my childhood. we were very lucky.

Each sex does some things better than the other.

Each sex does some things worse than the other.

Cumulatively they are equal

For example.
Emotions: Women 1 - Men 0
Strength: Men 1 - Women 0
Total: Men 1 - Women 1

What kind of totalitarian asshole would think he has the right to decide who does the dishes in somebody else's house?

And who here doesn't secretly think that spidey's wife isn't plotting to poison him while he sleeps in the Fuhrer Bunker master bedroom.

Fuhrer Bunker master bedroom.

I laughed

 

[Perknose]

minus the clean (we pay for cleaning lady) add work and made good money is my wife.

Care to give this passing thought of yours a more coherent try?

You don't excel in abstract thinking, do you?

I'm OK at it.

But when I can reduce things to maths, I like to do just that.

Clue for you. She does what she does best as a woman. I do what I do best as a man. We enjoy and even relish our roles.

The first few posts made me think everyone was smart enough to sit around with popcorn and beer.

I should've known better.

A woman's emotions is a point for them? I guess when you're bipolar women's emotions aren't a big deal but to the rest of the world, women's emotions is negative one million.

We'll have to agree to disagree on that one. Personally I find women the far more emotionally developed sex. Men seem emotionally repressed.

What a coincidence, Eva and Adolf felt the same exact way!

Now here's a clue for you. One of the reasons Germany lost the war was that they refused to employ their women outside of what you and Adolf deemed they "do best."

Rosie the Riveter beat Hannelore the Housebound Hausfrau.

Hitler's shortsighted, ignorant, retrograde ideology was his undoing. Watch out that it's not yours, too.

 

[waggy]

No i don't think it is anymore.

in fact more men are being the "stay home dad" while the women goes off to work.

You would agree then, it's the woman's job to change the oil, plant the trees, build the deck, etc? In my limited observation of a few households, it's the man being required to absorb some of the "women's duties" around the house while he still handles all of the "man's duties" himself. I'm not saying anything about it, just an observation.

My wife and I do that kind of stuff together a lot. Like one time I was tiling an exterior table, and she handed me pieces I needed. Put tape on the pieces that needed to be hung off side (verticals)... I do anything house wise except laundry. Basically teamwork.

(pro tip guys - just leave the shit in there till it mildews, few times ruining clothes & that job will end I've also bleached whole loads)

actually i agree with him.

damn this is twice i have.

What do men do better? Talking shit and brawn is about all I can think of. Anything to do with people or being meticulous I'd hire a woman first which is almost any job but bailing hay.

 

[Exterous]

Just boil the shit down to 'do whatever you happen to be better at in the relationship'.

actually i agree with him.

damn this is twice i have.

a very high number of tasks are not particularly difficult for either men or women ...people love to focus on the differences but there is much more in common than different when you actually get down to it

(I don't believe that one sex is better than the other. In fact, I flipped out at school on our guidance counselor after an army recruiter (female) told the females in the audience that if the were thinking about majoring in math or science at college, they should think twice about it, because even if they have a higher average, they're not as good at it as men are.)

Nonetheless, I present this:
Historically, many societies - even modern societies - have practiced infanticide. Generally, it's the females who are killed because they are not valued as highly as males in their societies. See China for a modern example.

 

[SolMiester]

very good.

for the record, men and women are NOT equal. our strengths and our weaknesses vary. which is why we should work together.

Yeah, the ONLY thing that they share which should be equal are RIGHTS...period.

NO wonder you're still a virgin

hmmm
