Do women really want equality? I do not think so. Many times it seems as if they want superiority. Now don't you girls take that the wrong way, I'll explain.
Most girls don't want to pay half the bill on dates, they don't want to work dirty and dangerous jobs, they don't want to be drafted if there was a war, they don't want to have to prove to a court that their children need them after a divorce, they don't even want to serve as an unpaid bodyguard or be the first one to go downstairs when a strange noise is heard...and lucky for them, they don't have to!
Because us men do those things. Voluntarily. Every day. We don't ask for a thank you for doing it because it is so built into us...to give, to serve. And although it may surprise some female readers, us men do these things because we love you women. We do these things, that you might love us back.
When a young couple begins a new family, the women have three options.
1. Work full time.
2. Be at home full time.
3. A combination of the two. (work part time.)
The man also has three options.
1. Work full time.
2. Work full time.
3. A combination of the two, (Work as much overtime as possible also.)
Where's the equality in that? Don't misunderstand! I do not begrudge women for having these options! When I got married, I told my Wife that she didn't have to work, that it is my job to pay the bills, but if she chose to work, that it was still my responsibility and so, she could keep the money she earned. Honestly and truly did I tell her this! And I stuck to it. I was self employed and I remember plenty of times, I had had a good week, and when she came home on her payday...I asked her, Good week this week? She would answer pensively...yes. Then I said, me too, here have some money baby, and would plop down a grand or 1500 into her hand, on her payday even! She absolutely loved that and it made me feel good to be able to do that for her. It's only money, but this was my Wife.
Now in all fairness to her, I had some bad weeks too, and she would not even hesitate to help out with the bills. She understood that love is great but the bills still need paid, and that, if and when I had it, it would come back to her.
Many men have told me how stupid I was to do this, that she had a responsibility too...but I don't buy that. She had her role, I had mine.
Am I being stereotypical about that? I don't think so. Or at least...not in any demeaning sort of way. The men, (in general) learn to love their families by being away from the love of their families while women love their families by being with the love of their families.
Women seem to lean in or lean out of things they do and don't want to do. So men have the financial advantage while women have the love and emotional advantage.
Women provide an emotional womb, akin to love...men provide a financial womb (that took them away from their purpose!) of loving and supporting their family, in order to achieve their purpose. So men love mostly by being disconnected, women by being connected.
This is not equality, this is gender roles. Women are the weaker vessel and the more loving vessel. (in general).
I see more and more women trying to take advantage of this situation. She's allowed to be offended and it's all you can't talk to ME like that, if I joke and say, hey, go make me a sandwich, but if she says hey go fix my car, huh! I better not be offended! Many times they will interject themselves into a mans conversation and politely tell them you are wrong...but if the man gives her a wee bit of straight talk back (like men talk! Duh) then they get offended and play the victim...you can't talk to me like that blah blah blah, and attack the man to put him down because...she couldn't handle straight talk. And everyone is supposed to come to her defense and rally around her and tell the man that he shouldn't have said that, it stereotypes her and so is wrong...
But her car still needs fixed. It's ok to stereotype the man, but not the woman? Oh my gosh! How far have we sunk in our thinking? I will fix your car. But you better not be offended if I happen to point out out to you sometime, if you're wrong about something. Look, either you want equal treatment or you don't. Part of equal treatment is being able to (don't sweat the small stuff!) talk with the men...and be wrong once in awhile!
Would more women be willing to share their love advantages and share financial pressures with their husbands?
All you girls owe me a dollar now for giving up man secrets to you, lol. Unless you respond with some comments saying something, right wrong I'm all wet on this...whatever.
But don't get offended, this is just talk. Am I right guys?
