Women, why must it be so?

How dare you speak of my grandmother that way. Why, she was the sammich-making queen in her day.

LOL, my Grandmother, was a working mother of 5, makes a to die for mac and cheese. It would literally make you cry she puts bacon in it.

Oh, if only I liked bacon. I know, I know, I'm a devil-worshiping heathen. But I love homemade mac!

Part of this makes me laugh... part of this makes me want to hit my head on a table.

The memes are funny, they represent gender frustrations. Men and women don't understand each other well, there are peer reviews studies stating as much (psych student).

Though the idea then men are simple is a stereotype and not necessarily true just like not all women are that complex. It's just misunderstanding between the two genders because we are biologically wired different and socially treated different.

Claiming women are 100% equal today is pretty naive. Obviously we are MUCH further than the guy stepping on the lady rug, but there are still areas where women are assumed to be weak and on the back burner. As a career women I know other career women who have had to deal with it. Thankfully I've been luckier than them. It has nothing to do with them acting like "women" whatever the hell that is.. they are just as strong as any guy, they have to be.

The issue really is deep and complex, radical feminism doesn't have it right but neither do the "nay sayers." Of course even in the world of academia they don't agree on everything.

This sounds amazingly good!

Feminism is not a dirty word. I'm really saddened by some peoples responses in this thread. Everyone should be a feminist, because it means we should be treated equally. It takes into account the stereotypes men are expected to adhere to AS WELL AS female ones. It has nothing to do with dictating how people should behave and everything to do with breaking down stereotypes and expectations.... providing the freedom to act as we wish, rather than how society demands.

I am a feminist. I work longer hours and earn more than my fiance. If I were to fall pregnant, we've already agreed that he would be the stay-at-home-parent because that's what makes sense financially (and I'm rubbish at housework). Thats just our set up though. I have female friends who have stopped working after having a baby or two and let their husband/partner be the breadwinner. This is also totally acceptable, because its what they all want to do. I have friends who have no interest whatsoever in settling down with kids + care more about travelling the world and building careers. ALSO ACCEPTABLE.

Feminism is about the freedom to choose how to live your life, without societal restrictions. How many of you sneered at the balance in my relationship? I'm hoping nobody did.

I see by the maths that you've miscalculated.

Better luck next time

This was a joke, but as a woman, I too get frustrated with the stereotypes.

Women are catty
Women are too emotional
Women need to cook, clean, raise the kids,
Women need to cater to their males.

blah blah...

I am not catty. I am probably not emotional enough. I'm not married, but I do have a bf and I do NOT clean up after him and I won't. He can do that s*** himself just like I clean up after myself.

I am educated and have my own career, and although nothing is wrong with being a stay at home mom, that will not be happening. We will split our duties equally. I will take care of my future husband as long as he takes care of me I think it is important that both sexes "do their part" when it comes to making a relationship work. Whatever that is should be left up to them to decide. I think the stay at home mom thing was more common when men were in the workforce more and women didn't have decent jobs. Now that more women are getting their educations and entering the workforce, things have changed.

That being said, I make dinner for him all the time, and do other nice things for him. But I ain't no damn maid lol.

Oh look, more stereotypes!! Yesssss

I is offended!
