Also: pretty strict ideas about equality in that women's work (rightfully) wasn't considered less important or worthy than men's worklizard said:The Vikings had very strict work divisions between the sexes.
Erik said:It's a sad sign of the modern zeitgeist that you (and every other P.C. warrior) can have "no respect" for what some people feel is a 100% fair division of work & responsibilities and fully voluntary?
Erik said:It seemingly is absolutely impossible for the modern world to comprehend the absolutely fucking mindnumbingly simple concept of DIFFERENT JOBS - EQUAL WORTH... No, we have to pretend that everyone (not just men vs. women) is equally capable of doing everything, even when science and logic CLEARLY tells us otherwise, and that even if person X is shit at doing what person Y is great at, both have contributed EQUALLY...

Cleaning and cooking are qualities? Haha, come on. Those are things done for you when you are little because you can't do them on your own and that just come in handy for many grown-up men so they don't have to do them. Guys tend to stay much longer with their parents than girls, at least over here. I know many who just switched over to the "care" of their girlfriends when they moved away from mommy and who still haven't learnt to stand on their own feet, who are still unable to prepare a decent meal or clean after them. Sadly, there are still enough girls out there who are willing to take over that Catholic housewife role. I have no respect for either of the two.
Blah. Whatever. Rant over.

Pretty cut and dry really.
I think it's because we've both been involved in similar stupid women situations.lurch70 said:thanks NAD ... that is all there was to it, expecially coming from my previous relationship (read above) ...
you understand me like no other ...

It's not so much about "being expected to" do something because it's part of some natural order, more that I think it's pretty terrible when people "can't respect" if a woman CHOOSES to do cooking/cleaning/etc. VOLUNTARILYcthulufhtagn said:maybe child-rearing is a more natural female role--not to say men shouldn't accept some responsibility--but cooking and cleaning? please. get your head out of the stone age. a man isn't expected to go out and hunt every day for food; neither should a woman be expected to cook and polish the floors every day. to say otherwise is to cling to historical notions of gender roles that have no relevance to today's society. and i'll stay right the fuck here with my women's lib "bullshit", thanks very much, regardless of what everyone else has to say about it.
