I just want consistency. If women are independent, they should have no problem paying for dates and such. No two ways around it.

When I say Men/Women not embracing traditional gender related skills of men/women (handymanship, cooking, cleaning); I am not saying that they shouldn't ALSO know the roles of the other sex. I actually promote EVERYONE to learn how to do EVERYTHING. Everyone should be all-around talents.
Women should know how to fix cars/cut hair.
Men should know how to cook and have heart to heart conversations with daughters.
Why? Because if you are single you need to know how to care for yourself.
I don't believe in housewives. They are the scum of the earth.

Homosexuality is more accepted than ever (not calling any homosexual person a bad person)
It just seems that that gender identification is no longer a priority to us. I thought when a person is first identified, that their sex was the most important thing. When someone's sex is identified, at one point, we could sorta assume the skill set that they possesed.
I just fear that folks are getting too comfortable with the way the world is headed.
Something needs to be done, but what can really be done?
If you don't care, you don't have to read or reply.
Wow... I'm sad that people in this country can actually still think like this. Let me just say this... get comfortable. You're in a world whereeducation is more powerful than the ability to cook and skin a rabbit. This has only been true within the last century, where during most of that time periodmen have oppressed women. Only more recently is education/information just as readily available to women as it is men. Man has always withheld knowledge fromthose they wish to oppress.

Raise your own damn kids.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
My kids will grow up in this society. Anything that goes on will directly affect them. I don't want my son to be punished for exuding machismo instead of choosing to wear skin tight jeans and carry Louis Vatton (however you spell it) bags.
I don't want my daughter to run around screaming, "I don't need no man. I don't need to know how to cook." because boneheaded young girls have been brainwashed by their mothers to believe such foolishness.
I am straight. Nothing will break me. I just hope my kids can be as mentally tough as I am to not fall for it
Easiest stereotype to jump to. Not to mention some ppl actually think this way.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
Again, why is it when I say a woman needs to know how to cook everyone seems to take that as me saying a woman should be STUCK in the kitchen cooking like a servant?

It just seems that that gender racial identification is no longer a priority to us. I thought when a person is first identified, that their sex race was the most important thing. When someone's sex race is identified, at one point, we could sorta assume the skill set that they possesed.
You're no different than the common bigot everyone rallies against when similar comments are flung at people of color.

Why would a woman need to waste time learning to cook, when she could take that energy and put it toward a great career and be able to afford to have someone cook for her? Or marry someone that cooks for her.

I'm not clear on what you mean by this. Do you mean men are wearing skirts and carrying purses nowadays or some other article of clothing that YOU deem as feminine? Trends in fashion come and go. There was a time in the 70's for instance where certain fashions were looked at as blurring the lines of gender, but that passed and even though there are such trends in fashion there are also others that remain very "traditional." There are no absolutes especially with things that change and/or evolve such as clothing. If that was the case you'd be wearing nothing, but a suit, tie and fedora like people did more than half a century ago or thigh high stockings, powdered wigs and sequined velvets outfits like they did 500 years ago, but I doubt you'd be caught dead in either of those.
- Men being content with wearing women's clothing/accessories
Dominant as in having more of a say in matters that affect both people in the relationship instead of keeping quiet and doing as told? With advanced responsibilities in society and many women taking on more roles not only in their own homes and relationships, but in their respective professions they have not only gained more liberties to have more of a say in things, but they've also earned it.
- Women becoming more and more dominant in relationships as time goes on
If people were to obey traditional roles (not only gender related roles such as the trivial ones you mentioned), there would still be a lot of people in bondage. I think it's time for you to accept that these notions of yours are not only outdated, but extremely sexist and that you shouldn't hold these as a badge of honor, but rather a burden of your left back chauvinist mentality that most people in this society have managed to get past.
- Men/Women not embracing traditional gender related skills of men/women (handymanship, cooking, cleaning)
You may not be calling any homosexuals person a "bad person," but you are nonetheless making a negative judgment about a person's identity by insinuating that homosexuality bothers you because it is one of the things responsible for the breakdown in YOUR views on gender without so much as taking into account the majority of gay people who don't fit into the stereotypical roles that you seem to hold about them.

That's not the point. The point is, why would a woman need such a skill, when she could just as well have someone else do it for them? (As you feel men should have someone else do it for them). Perhaps they should also weave their own baskets and tailor the family's clothes? Look, I get what you're saying. Every house needs a cook, but to designate that to the woman of the household, by default, is not only sexist but innaccurate.
PS. I'm done here... have to go prepare dinner for my wife while I watch the Rose Bowl.

Same can be asked of you as to why being a woman and knowing how to cook have to go hand in hand? Why do you have to have one with the other?"Because women are supposed to know how to cook" is not a good enough answer.Originally Posted by DCAllAmerican
