Women, why must it be so?

I'm proud to make my hubby a sandwich, when he works hard at work. :happy:

You are a good woman, and I only say that because it's true!

Is a woman staying at home to raise her children an equal to her husband who is working to provide?

Nope. I have a career. I believe in women and men both having careers and families.

^ Can't be serious.

I meant it as society doesn't view her as equal.

I was asking you. Not society.

husseycd

You have hands, right?

No, I do not. I actually have to speak into a device that then transcribes what I say. Thank you for reminding me of my terrible inability to provide myself with the basic fundamentals of life... sandwiches.

Bwahahaha!

Buy the way, you don't think Women feed the machine as well? Why is this society thing a "stupid" man's issue?

A woman with some damn sense-thank you!!!!!! if my husband is working all day and I am not-he's paying the bills and I am not-I do everything for him with PLEASURE because its the least I can do-he never asks-he never would-he would make his own meals if I told him too. There is a difference. I go and do what I want-as does he. why? because I don't want restrictions and demands put on ME (other than my wedding vow stuff) so why do that to him? But if he ever TOLD me what to do? Well I'd punch him in the nuts-duh!

In other words you're a liberal/hipster push over with no real agenda other than to cut off penises and destroy sandwich shops once and for all.

Oh, btw, you missed a spot when you vacuumed the other day...

So wanting men and women to be treated equally makes me all of those things? You definitely don't know me at all, then.

Also, I'm a fiscal conservative. I am not a liberal or any of those silly labels.

I do applaud your for taking a stand. Unfortunately, it doesnt work on the internet and it's the last bastion of the "isms". I think you make your comment and move on. You'll continue to be attacked as they look for weak spots.

Is it acceptable? No, it's not no more acceptable than if you had taken a stand against racism and were attacked, and attacked with some silly, superfluous things. However, you cant make a blind man see when his ears are closed.

Oh, okay. That's news to me. It doesn't work that way in Canada.

I'll educate you. This is how America views women:

If you cannot defend your position, then it probably is not correct.

It's pretty simple, I take care of my man + He takes care of me = happy relationship! =] Oh and you have to make him sandwiches... They just taste better when we make them.

The "problem" with the "joke" in the OP is that women are often criticized for being "crazy" and "emotional" thus portraying our feelings as being "invalid". Men are, in general, less emotional and more logical, but this doesn't make women "wrong", just different. Men tend to be afraid, or have no idea how to handle emotional women. They should learn. Sometimes I cry when I'm angry or I screw something up at work. Don't treat me differently, however from a man who gets angry or frustrated. I can't control it. I don't want special treatment. The perception that women hate each other goes along with this. Often this is perpetrated by "less emotional" women who also don't understand emotional women. Again, the solution is to try to understand, ask questions, don't make anyone feel invalid, etc.

^ THIS is the "feminist" issue here. Nothing to do with working mothers. :grumble:


But yes, I get that the OP was a joke. :drinker:

Huge difference is you are choosing to, while many men in society EXPECT women to do it because they are women. "You're a woman, so make me a sandwich." Meanwhile I work my butt off in my career and have to do my own cooking, cleaning, etc. I can work and make food, so why can't a man? That is the point being made.

I'll make anyone a sandwich, if I have the time and they do the same for me at some point. Relationships are a give and take (or so I hear)

OMG - Your arguments lack understanding, openness, and have zero integrity.

Men are taught to be less emotional, or we are branded sissies and told to toughen up. And women often express their frustration with men who are emotionally unavailable, thanks to the same social issues.

This. I actually pity her boyfriend. If she gets this aggressive about pretty meaningless topic such as this, then I can only imagine the hell he goes through when a serious issue arises

It's not meaningless to care about being treated as an equal. My BF is a feminist as well.

Is a woman staying at home to raise her children an equal to her husband who is working to provide?

She should be.

Only if she also makes sammiches

Lol. I work, do my own cooking, cleaning, laundry, gardening, repairing, etc. I neither expect nor want a woman to do do any of these things (ok, maybe help garden) because I am very likely better at it anyway.
