Ugh. This strawman argument again. This article is confusing gender equality with gender roles. They are not the same. Femists AND tradwives alike keep conflating the two and it's annoying.
For example: My husband cooks fancy Italian dishes that I could never dream of because he grew up with a Sicilian Nonna who taught all of her grandchildren her favorite family recipes.
I keep track of all the bill paying and manage the "books" because I have about 15 years of career experience doing so.
Are we suddenly supposed to STOP doing the chores we are good at because he is a "man" and shouldn't be "cooking", and I am a woman who shouldn't be dealing with "finances"?
Conversley, should he be forced into doing more "feminine" chores like sewing (that he could never do because he has huge hands) and should I be forced into more masculine chores like carrying heavy furniture for the sake of "equality"?
No, because both of those are dumb qualifiers. It has no implication on the equality of the relationship. Further, I'm tired of these incels who confuse traditional marriages with male dominance. Traditional marriage is when a man sacrifices his entire being to provide and protect his family and a when a women sacrifices her entire self to care and grow her family. That takes on a lot of different forms and none of those forms are predicated on who is in the kitchen with a broom in their hands, and who is in the backyard chopping wood for heat.
Let's stop engaging feminist in this juvenile debate. The heart of the matter is much more substantial than who does what chore. 🙄
Did you read the artical?
It talked about the fact that things won't be equal because life isn't fair. The biggest thing it said though was to thank your spouse for what they do, combattimg the feminist artical saying we shouldn't. It didn't say anything about women needing to cook or men needing to budget. It just said your roles will be diffrent, that's ok, and thank your husband for what he does.
