feels good that we both work, both pay bills and both take care of the household
That's because you both are conservatives

I’ve always found it difficult to take the advice of a Professional in any area Of the medical field serious when that person is not an exemplary representation of healthiness themselves.
Weird take when those in health care are often required to sacrifice their own health and well being to care for others. Hard to take care of yourself when you’re forced to work long shifts with no breaks etc. Being the exemplary representation of healthiness often means fitness is your job. Like an athlete. These people have professional chefs, trainers etc. Health care workers being smart and dedicated is what’s saving lives, not having a six pack.I’ve always found it difficult to take the advice of a Professional in any area Of the medical field serious when that person is not an exemplary representation of healthiness themselves.
Depending on what threads he frequents he may not even be referring to the lady in the vidAre you saying her weight makes her opinion invalid?
I just wanna know how this leap was made am I reading this right?

Are these “my woman is gonna have to work” takes coming from folks who are unmarried / without children?
I’m curious if the line of thinking would change over time.
No … I’m saying that I’ve always found it difficult to take the advice of a Professional in any area Of the medical field serious when that person is not an exemplary representation of healthiness themselves.
That's how I look at it. I would prefer for a parent to spend the majority of the time with my child.This.
I’m sitting here reading the replies thinking the same thing.
My wife left the traditional workforce when we had our first son (12 years ago). Hasn’t had to return since I’m fortunate enough to do well in a steady career.
For us (emphasis) it made/still makes more sense for one of us to be at home full time.
We have 3 children, and the cost of before & aftercare would eat through a very good salary and then some.
We haven’t even factored in the benefits of Summer Vacation, Sick/Snow Days, school trips, etc.
Bottom line is Western Culture forces families to choose: live comfortably (financially) with two incomes and struggle trying to raise a family, or have less income but more flexibility.
We chose the former; I know it’s not for everyone, but working well for us.

I'm not against daycare, grandparents, etc, but I wouldn't want that to be a primary option
And it just seems like two working parents with a kid complicates things. Picking the kid up from school, feeding, and just other decisions like you mention seem like a hassle. Do-able but a hassle.
Running a home is work though. You’re saying a woman should earn money. Two totally separate things. Pretending raising children and caring for them isn’t work is hilarious. It also suits men who want to continue to do less than their partners but reap all the benefits of the unpair labor they provide. Easiest way to continue that is to act like house work is irrelevant and worthless. Pretty anti feminist take IMO. As long as a person is happy and fulfilled and what they’re doing is in agreement with their partner then why should they need to be earning money to feel personal satisfaction?I'm a feminist so I believe women should work.

No.
It's a red flag to me if any woman says anything about wanting to ever be a stay at home mother. No thanks.
I'm on the younger side so If I'm being completely honest most of these young women out here can't cook anything beyond chicken alfredo. I've probably had if I had to guess around 10 women from the age 20-25 cook for me and only 2 of them can beat me in the kitchen.
If they can't teach better than me, or cook what I want them at home for? I'm not going to say clean because every adult needs to clean up after themselves and if you don't you're just a dirty individual with no home training.
Facts. The domestic abilities of some of these women leaves much to be desired.
My wife can cook but I also love my cooking so we split that duty. It may be cheaper to get a maid than to turn my wife who makes 6 figures into a full time housewife.
I agree with the , " highly strange on unprofessional thing to post in public."
I would imagine you wouldn't want to post things like that being in THAT position.
Dentist? So you gonna marry a scammer?

The Household Work Men and Women Do, and Why (Published 2020)
Men are more likely than ever to embrace the idea of gender equality, but when it comes to the home front, traditional values dominate.www.nytimes.com
Plenty of studies and articles out there showing men think they’re doing their fair share at home but it doesn’t add up.
Your post said that you’re a feminist so you believe women should work. You were implying they should be employed and earning money. If that WASNT your implication then I misread your post. You didn’t say women should be the only ones doing housework. And I can clearly tell by your posts that you cook clean etc. which I think is great. And I’m sure it’s great for your partner.Where did I say running a home wasn't work? Also where did I say it should be a woman's responsibility to solely run the home?
