Yet they still want us to cook and clean like back then

Out in the West Texas town of El Paso
I fell in love with a Mexican girl
Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
Music would play and Felina would whirl
Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
Wicked and evil while casting a spell
My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
I was in love, but in vain I could tell
One night, a wild young cowboy came in
Wild as the West Texas wind
Dashing and daring, a drink he was sharing
With wicked Felina, the girl that I loved
So in anger
I challenged his right for the love of this maiden
Down went his hand for the gun that he wore
My challenge was answered in less than a heartbeat
The handsome young stranger lay dead on the floor
Just for a moment, I stood there in silence
Shocked by the foul evil deed I had done
Many thoughts raced through my mind as I stood there
I had but one chance and that was to run
Out through the back door of Rosa's I ran
Out where the horses were tied
I caught a good one, it looked like it could run
Up on its back and away I did ride
Just as fast as I
Could from the West Texas town of El Paso
Out to the badlands of New Mexico
Back in El Paso, my life would be worthless
Everything's gone in life, nothing is left
It's been so long since I've seen the young maiden
My love is stronger than my fear of death
I saddled up and away I did go
Riding alone in the dark
Maybe tomorrow, a bullet may find me
Tonight nothing's worse than this pain in my heart
And at last here I am on the hill, overlooking El Paso
I can see Rosa's cantina below
My love is strong and it pushes me onward
Down off the hill to Felina I go
Off to my right I see five mounted cowboys
Off to my left ride a dozen or more
Shouting and shooting, I can't let them catch me
I have to make it to Rosa's back door
Something is dreadfully wrong, for I feel
A deep burning pain in my side
Though I am trying to stay in the saddle
I'm getting weary, unable to ride
But my love for Felina is strong and I rise where I've fallen
Though I am weary, I can't stop to rest
I see the white puff of smoke from the rifle
I feel the bullet go deep in my chest
From out of nowhere Felina has found me
Kissing my cheek as she kneels by my side
Cradled by two loving arms that I'll die for
One little kiss and Felina, goodbye
 
Does this mean you can do your own laundry and put away the groceries, boys? Or is it still too hard?

I'm soooo over lazy gender stereotypes like this. It's not a zero sum game you know: and if you're raising a son you become very aware of the cumulative, toxic impact of this kind of trash.

If you're with a lazy partner, find a new one.

Mutual respect isn't hard. And it's better.

Lots of love, an ally x
 
There will be plenty of hard physical labor for everyone. Dumping all the work on a partner will more often lead to breakups or deaths by exhaustion. The practical realities of what people can physically do as energy becomes more expensive and modern conveniences become less affordable will end a lot of nonsense, in the USA. Europe has rapidly changing demographics. Australia will probably also have severe changes.

You think women aren’t over it, too?

How much longer do you think it will be okay to raise lazy boys?

Boys who can’t cook for their families. Boys who think of reproduction but nothing about the responsibilities.

If you want to raise parents then teach them how to be parents.
 
Is it ok to generalise about blacks, jews and women too? Or just boys? Asking for a friend. Have a great day, @girlsmiley. I hope that during the course of it you meet a few of the world's wonderful, life-affirming people. They come in all shapes and sizes.
 
There are lots of options for growing men. They could be loving husbands who are invested in becoming scientists or musicians, landscapers or electricians. But more and more choose to be gamers and sit at home and cheat on their wives. Why is that? Is it because they’re dumb? Are men becoming dumber because of the internet?

Women have become more active. Men, if anything at all, have become less reactive.

I appreciate your line of thought xoxo

It’s funny you say that. If I really started to throw out statistics then maybe you’d understand how fucked men are in this day and age. If you don’t know by now how fucked things are for women then perhaps keep your shit to yourself.

As it stands two in three women are sexually assaulted or harassed by men across the globe. And I’m more inclined to say every woman. So spare me your shapes and sizes bro because we are all sick of guys saying not all men when it’s pretty much all women.
 
The story was.I guess pretty interesting and well thought out. My question is what does that do with laundry ? Sorry if I don't get it. If the question is do guys do laundry. My answer is no I'm not allowed too. I do however clean all my work clothes. I bring them to a laundromat, they sometime get to dirty for my home machine.
I also, because of my relaxed schedule. Do the grocery shopping, cook dinner most of the time and frequently run the vacuum through the house. I do this because I have the time. And when she does get a day off we can do things instead of her being tied up with this stuff. I think it's more common than you think. It depends on the situation of each couple
