RE: In Response To: Challenging Feminism. What's your opinion? by @raymondspeaks
It's also very hard to demand equality when you want the old fashioned treatment.
You want me to pay for everything? Sure.
You want to not work? I have your back.
You want me to open the door for you and worship the ground you walk on? No problem.
But you better do the dishes or take care of the house.
Otherwise we're going halfsies on everything.
In my house I cook, she does the dishes. We split everything and I still offer to pay for stuff most of the time when we go out.
Yes, household chores and who is going to do what should be negotiated by each couple. I have seen a lot of different setups work well for others, that wouldn't work for me. In my house, these roles are constantly changing due to kids, kids being older, kids moving out, career paths changing etc. I think in my marriage we have seen both roles!
I agree though, the roles are not selected by gender.
I believe that women can do anything. I was raised by a single mother.
I just don't think it's fair to get the best of both worlds.
I agree. Some women need to decide if they are going to be equal or protected.
