now i'm expected by people to go out and get a job um...hello...women aren't ment to be in the work place..we are the weaker sex i didn't learn to cook for nothing... i mean seriously...now if i find me a man i'm expected to be an equal partner god it's so annoying
I wish more women thought like you Indian~Summer. I've never seen you on here before but from this thread alone.....you seem like you have your head on straight. I hate it when my girlfriend tries to make me do tgings around the house. I mean....I'll mow the lawn and take care of stuff outside, but when I am inside she better have a cold beer waiting for me......and give me a back rub while I watch Sunday football while getting me beer and food whenever I ask. I don't like yelling at her but a man has certain needs. When those needs aren't met its time to get them somewhere else
see that's exactly what i'm talking about! inside the house is where i'm supposed to be, and i really think other women should be too i want to get married and be able to cook my husband dinner and have a nice cold martini waiting for him when he comes home and i want to be slapped on the ass for a job well done...when did a nice firm pat on the behind bacome so taboo? all this nonsense of thinking..blah just let me go shopping instead
You have every right to do whatever makes you happy or miserable. But you have no right telling other people how they should live their life and how the dynamics of their intimate relationship should be like yours. If you don't want a career and wish to be at home all day and be treated a certain way by your loved ones, then go ahead and be that way. The rest of us will determine for ourselves our own movement and where we want to be with our lives.
Are you for real ??? I honestly feel sorry for every girl you d ever date... And for gods sake, cant you get the beer and food yourself ? I myself cant cook, and I honestly dont think I will ever learn. Its not something I am interested in, or something I think i should know. I dont mind the cleaning and stuff like that, but no guy is incapable of doing that either...
I still remember when the Women's Movement was melding. My mom wasn't a women's libber, but my dad was constantly threatening divorce, withholding money, and on occassion, he'd become physically abusive as well. When my brother and I were finally in school, she got herself a job simply so my dad couldn't leave her high and dry with two little kids to raise by herself. Most women back then learned to be self-reliant to protect themselves and their kids from the crap men in their lives, and not particularly to be "liberated" and "equal". It's the same today.

RIGHT ON YOU GUYS!! my GOD! when did it become the duty of every woman to be a man, too? and why do i get made fun of for treating my husband like the god of the house he is? why do women always ask me "you LET him do such&such?" WTF? let him?!! i'm his wife, not his mother. btw, he was doing really good with getting all the laundry done...but now he's starting to slack. haha.
k, yeah, I really hope this was sarcastic. The way the OP is asking to be treated would be classified as abuse by today's standards...same with the other dude who posted agreeing with her, and rightfully so. The movement isn't about expecting women to work, it's giving women the oppertunity to work. Some choose to stay home. Some choose to go to work. No one is imposing anything on you or anyone else.
Uh... how could that be considered as abuse if that's how they choose to be treated? I don't get that.
I guess I was refering to more of the comments made by the second poster about yelling at his girlfriend if something isn't done right. For some reason I got that mixed up with the OP's post. As for her post, I think that it seems more abusive in the fact that she is insisting that she is of an inferior sex. Ok, that's her opinion about herself. But that is abuse in it's own form, in thinking that you are inferior to someone else. I believe that would be more of an abuse to herself, however. But if she continues to think this way then she is likely to find a man who believes that she really IS inferior, and will treat her in such a way. Then the treatment will more than likely go beyond expecting good meals to be ready and the house to be cleaned, but mental abuse in that she doesn't matter. I don't care if she wants to be treated that way or not, it's still abuse. Demoralizing someone to make them believe that they inferior to you is wrong and abusive, end of story. Back in the day when women did stay home and cook and clean and ran the house and waited on their husbands, they were still respected, as that was seen back then as their place in the home and their "job". It is not acceptable, however, in any way to demean someone into believing that they should obey their PARTNER'S every command. Whether or not she wants to stay home and wait on her husband are totally different from refering to herself as inferior and leading herself into a potentially hazardous situation. I suppose I took the post a little further beyond what was actually written, but I have seen this happen in the past, and the results were not pleasant.
Yup ol Eve was made for Adams entertainment so ladies there ya go start earning your keep (said with knuckles draggin the ground with a series of grunts)
the womens movement to me is more about women being able to CHOOSE to do whatever the hell they wanna do! if a woman wants to work 12 hours a day of hard labor and is capable of it, more power to her! if a woman wants to be a rocket scientist, sweet! if a woman wants to cook for her husband and be a stay at home mom, awesome! it's just nice that we now have that choice.
women complain about that? man..see it's just that women today aren't beaten enough if it's back hand it's discipline..women need to learn.. take pride in your abilities to cook and sew! all this nonsense about wanting jobs outside the home if my grandmother was alive to see it she'd just be so disappointed... instead she is alive and drinks
